10 Key Factors About Ghost Immobiliser 2 You Didn't Learn At School
Ghost Immobiliser 2
Protects your vehicle from key cloning and stops thieves from driving it with your original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to the CAN data network of your vehicle and a unique PIN has to be entered to start the engine.
Ghost, unlike trackers, doesn't emit radio frequency signals, and therefore cannot be detected by diagnostic tools. It also has no indicators in the form of LEDs or buttons that give the impression that it is in your vehicle or van.
Anti-key cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was designed to prevent key cloning. This device connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle and generates a unique pin code push sequence by using the buttons that are factory-installed on your dashboard and steering wheel. This prevents the thief from being able to start your car. If the wrong PIN is entered, it will stop the engine from starting and making it impossible to leave with joy and pride.
A ghost immobiliser is a new technology that is extremely hard for thieves to beat. Contrary to physical deterrents, such as wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut off or taken the ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that cannot be easily detected by regular thieves since it doesn't emit radio signals and works silently.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your car from a variety of threats, such as key-hacking relay attacks, key hacking and copied copies. It can also stop the thief from adding a key or replacing your ECU since it will not allow them to start your car without first entering the correct PIN.
Contrary to other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 does not require any additional remote or key fobs to operate. It can be deactivated using an app on the smartphone of the driver. This makes it ideal for those times when you need to hand your car over for valet parking or servicing without key fobs.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest evolution of Ghost's immobiliser. what is a ghost immobiliser was designed to make it as simple and user-friendly as possible and yet be as secure as it can be. This is achieved by linking the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, which means there aren't any wires that can be hidden or easily found. It has built-in features that allow you to deactivate the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to your vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the latest method employed by professional auto thieves to steal vehicles. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than a laptop, an app, and a few cables, which can be bought online for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they will be able to do whatever they want including resetting fault codes and tuning your car to stealing your pride and joy in less than a minute.
It will protect your car from being stolen by requiring a unique PIN code to be entered with your key fob prior to you start the engine or leave. It does this by interacting with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data circuit, and is completely undetectable to any scan or code grabbing technology. It even includes a Service/Valet mode that will allow your vehicle to be started without needing the PIN code.
You'll also require an OBD cable that has OBD pins, which are connected to the CAN bus. These cables can be found on Amazon/Ebay for around PS50. Also, you will require a cable with OBD pins connected to the CAN Bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for PS50. Then, you need to splice the cable into the wire harness of your car for example, in the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has gained access to the OBD port on your vehicle, they are able to send diagnostics to the system with high baud rates which can cause a crash to the car's CAN and stop the system from functioning. This could cause the engine to stop, doors to lock and even the brakes to engage.
No need for additional remotes or key fobs
The car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology that is utilized by millions of modern cars all over the world. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle with engine ECU software that stops vehicles from starting when an untrue transponder signal is sent.
It is possible for a thief in the event that they have the code to disable an immobiliser, and bypass it. A burglar could easily remove the battery from most key fobs by prying them open. They could then use an easy tool to take out the circuit board inside an immobiliser and replace it with a blank. Then they will be capable of starting your car.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that does not require any additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser connects to the vehicle's engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a subtle, silent CAN data circuit that is undetectable with diagnostic tools such as those used by high-tech thieves. It also doesn't use a traditional key-fob with LED indicators, which means it's not visible in plain sight.
There will be instances when you need to deactivate Autowatch Ghost 2's auto-protection for instance, during a valet parking or service work. Ghost CAN immobilisers come with a feature called "Service Mode,' which you can activate with the push of a button on your phone. The vehicle can still be operated however, its maximum speed will be restricted to 36mph for greater security.
If you'd like to know more about the TASSA accredited ghost immobiliser, call us today to book an appointment in our workshop. A member of our team will provide an in-depth explanation of the process and provide you with your owner's manuals, installation certificates, Ghost 2 emergency card and security assurance.
Simple PIN code Change Process
Ghost is a next generation device that can secure your vehicle without cutting wires or adding aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network. A personal PIN can be set by pressing buttons on the steering wheel and dash. The system blocks engine start and cannot be bypassed as no RF signals are generated from the device. This makes it difficult to be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing techniques that are used by modern thieves.
The PIN code is able to be changed to block previous drivers, or even add an override code in case you forget the sequence. The installer will demonstrate the process to do this during installation. The system also has the option of a valet mode that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your mechanic or garage can service the car without having to know the pin code. This is a great choice for those who do not want their pin number to be disclosed, but want to leave their car with valet parking or service.
Ghost is an individual system that utilizes the buttons on your car to create an unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. The sequence is entered via the app on your smartphone, which means there are no additional LEDs thrown and your car is secure and safe from the possibility of being disabled by hackers or any other technology.
Tested for every vehicle
Contrary to key fobs which require you to press buttons the ghost immobiliser is discretely placed under your steering wheel or dash so that only you know it's there. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network, and a personalised PIN code is programmed by using the buttons already on your vehicle. The system will then stop the engine from starting until the code is entered prior to. This means that thieves can't clone the keys of your car or use the OBD to hack into it.
Ghost is a great option for all vehicles that use electric vehicles motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and bicycles. It is also extremely versatile and can be set to disable in various situations. For example, it can be set to enter Valet mode when the car is transported to a valet parking or servicing company. This means that your car can be operated within a specified 30mph speed limit and the ghost immobiliser will activate itself when it is returned to your possession.
The device can be reset at any time to your personal PIN number. This is great if you forget the code or in the event that the device becomes unusable.
The device is also completely unnoticed by anyone who doesn't even know what it is. It does this by running through the buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel and then using the information they transmit to determine which button was hit. This makes it a secure and secure security system that can't be manipulated by RF scanning or jamming, or door lock pick set.
