14 Savvy Ways To Spend Extra Money Ghost Immobiliser 2 Budget
Ghost Immobiliser 2
Guards your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving it with original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to the CAN data network of your vehicle and a unique PIN must be entered to start the engine.
Contrary to trackers Ghost doesn't transmit any radio frequency signals & can't be detected by diagnostic tools. There are also no LED indicators or buttons that can give the impression that it is in your car or van.
Anti-key Cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was designed to combat key cloning. This device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and creates a unique pin code using the factory buttons in your dashboard and steering. This stops the thief from being able to start your car. If the incorrect PIN is entered, it will stop your engine from starting and making it impossible for you to drive away with joy and pride.
A ghost immobiliser is a new technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to defeat. The ghost immobiliser, unlike physical deterrents such as wheel locks and steering lock that can be cut, is a discrete electronic device. It's not even identified by thieves since it doesn't emit radio signals and is operated in a silent manner.
This next-generation immobiliser can protect your car against a variety of threats, such as key-hacking, relay attacks and cloned copies. It is also able to prevent thieves from adding an additional key or replacing your ECU in the sense that it will not allow them to start your car without entering the correct PIN number first.
Unlike other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 doesn't require any additional key fobs or remotes for operation. It is able to be deactivated via the driver's mobile with a simple application. This makes it ideal for the times you have to give your car over for valet parking or for servicing without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest evolution of our ground-breaking ghost immobiliser. It is designed to be as simple and convenient to use as is possible, yet remains as secure as ever. This is achieved by connecting the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, which means that there aren't any additional wires to hide or be easily identified. It also comes with an inbuilt feature that lets you to disable your Ghost-II by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth, so you can go out and drive with no hassle.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the latest method being used by professional car thieves to steal vehicles. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than a laptop, an application, and a few cables that can be bought online for under PS50. Once they have access, they will be able to do anything they want to do, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes, tuning your car, or stealing it within a matter of minutes.
If you have an Ghost immobiliser, it can prevent your car from being stolen with this method by requiring that an unique PIN code sequence is entered on the fob of your key in order to start the engine and then drive away. It does this by communicating with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is indetectable to any code grabbing or RF scanning technology. It comes with a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to start with no PIN code.
To make use of an OBD hacking device, you'll need to have a laptop that has software capable of interpreting the OBD protocol, which can be bought for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You'll also require a cable with OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus. These are available on eBay and Amazon for around PS50. The cable needs to be spliced into the wiring harness of your car, such as the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has gained a connection to your vehicles OBD port, they can send diagnostics requests to the system at high baud rates which will crash the CAN, and prevent systems within your car from working. This could cause the engine to stop, doors to lock and even the brakes to activate.
No remotes or keys are required.
The car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology utilized by millions of modern cars across the globe. Using engine ECU software to stop cars from starting if a fake transponder signal is transmitted to it, an aftermarket immobiliser is an excellent method of protecting your vehicle.
However, it could be easy for thieves to get around an immobiliser system if they have access to the code that allows them to disable it. A thief could easily remove the battery from many key fobs by squeezing them open. They could then use an instrument to remove the internal circuit board of an immobiliser and replace it with blank. They will then be able start 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) through a discreet quiet data circuit in CAN that is undetectable with diagnostic tools like those used by high-tech thieves. It doesn't have a traditional keyfob with LED indicator, so it's not visible.
There will be occasions where you have to disable Autowatch Ghost 2's automatic security for instance, during the valet parking or service work. The ghost CAN immobiliser comes with a specific mode for this, called "Service Mode which is activated by a push of a button on your phone. The car can still be operated, but the maximum speed is restricted to 36 mph.
If you'd like more information about the TASSA certified ghost immobiliser, contact us today to book a demonstration in our workshop. A member of the team will give you the entire process of the process and provide you with your owner's manuals, installation certificate, Ghost 2 emergency card and security guarantee.
Simple process to change the PIN code
Ghost is a new generation device that secures your vehicle without cutting wires or adding aftermarket key fobs. ghost immobiliser installation connects directly to your vehicle's CAN data network and a personal PIN code is programmed into it by pressing buttons on your steering wheel & the dash. The device doesn't emit RF signals, so it is unable to be manipulated. This makes it undetectable by sophisticated scans using RF or code-grabbing technologies that modern thieves use.
The PIN code sequence can be changed whenever you want to lock out previous drivers. It even comes with an override option in the event of lost sequences. The installer will demonstrate the procedure to accomplish this during installation. The system includes a valet mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that the mechanic or garage can service the vehicle without having to know the pin number. This is ideal for those who want to hand over their car for valet parking or service, but don't want to divulge the PIN sequence.
Ghost is a discrete system that uses the buttons on your car to create a unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered through the app for smartphones, meaning no extra LED indications are displayed and your vehicle is protected with no risk of being disabled by hackers or other technology.
Tested for each vehicle
Unlike key fobs that require you to press buttons on them, a ghost immobiliser is discreetly installed under the dash or steering wheel so that only you know that it's there. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network, and an individual 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 cannot duplicate the keys on your car or gain access to the OBD port to gain access to your vehicle.
Ghost is a great option for all vehicles that use electric vehicles motorhomes, vans, and bikes. It is also extremely versatile and can be set to deactivate under different circumstances. It can be programmed to go into Valet mode, for instance when your vehicle is transported to a valet company or parking company. This allows you to drive your vehicle within a speed limit of 30 mph, and the ghost immobiliser will start to activate itself when the vehicle returns to your possession.
Another great feature is that the device can be reset to your personalised PIN at any time. This is useful when you forget the code or the device ceases to function which means it's as good as new again.
It's also worth noting that the device is completely inaccessible to those who aren't familiar with it. It does this by running through the buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard and analyzing the data it sends to determine which button was hit. This makes it a secure and solid security system that is not able to be tampered by RF scanning or jamming, or even a door lock pick set.
