20 Trailblazers Setting The Standard In Ghost Immobiliser 2
Ghost Immobiliser 2
Guards your vehicle against key cloning and stops thieves from driving it with the keys you originally had. Our latest immobiliser connects to your vehicle's data network, CAN, and the unique PIN code needs to be entered in order for the engine to start.
Ghost, unlike trackers, doesn't emit radio frequency signals, and therefore cannot be detected by diagnostic tools. There are also car ghost immobiliser 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 developed to combat key cloning. The device is connected to your vehicle's data network CAN, and creates an unique pin code using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This prevents the thief from being able to start your vehicle. If the incorrect PIN is entered, it will prevent your engine from running which makes it impossible to leave with joy and pride.
Ghost immobilisers are new technology that is extremely hard for thieves to beat. The ghost immobiliser unlike physical deterrents, like wheel locks or steering locks that can be cut, is a discreet electronic device. It isn't identified by thieves since it doesn't emit radio signals and operates silently.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your car against a variety of threats, such as key-hacking relay attacks, key-hacking, and copied 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 the car to start without entering the correct PIN number first.
The ghost immobiliser 2, unlike other immobilisers, it does not require the use of a remote control or key fob to operate. It is able to be deactivated via the driver's mobile by using a simple app. This is a great option when you have to hand your car away for valet parking, or maintenance without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest evolution of Ghost's immobiliser. It is designed to be as simple and convenient to use as it is possible, while remaining as secure as ever. This is done by linking the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, which means there aren't any additional wires to hide or be easily identified. It also comes with an inbuilt feature that allows you to deactivate the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to your vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is a new technique 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, which can be bought online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they can do whatever they want including resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your car, or even taking it away within a matter of minutes.
If you have a Ghost immobiliser, it can prevent your car from being stolen using this method, by making sure that an unique PIN code sequence is entered alongside your key fob to start the engine and drive away. It does this by communicating with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit, and is completely undetectable to any scan or code grabbing technology. It even has a Service/Valet mode which allows your vehicle to be started without needing the PIN code.
To use an OBD hacking device, you'll must have a laptop that has software capable of reading the OBD protocol. These is available for less than PS100 on ebay or Amazon. You'll also require a cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN Bus. These cables can be purchased on Amazon/Ebay around PS50. You then need to splice the cable into the wiring harness of your car for example, the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has gained access to the OBD port on your vehicle, they will send diagnostics to the system with high baud rate which can cause a crash to the car's CAN and stop the systems from working. This can cause the engine to stop or even lock doors, and even the brakes to be engaged.
No remotes or keys required.
The car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology that is utilized by millions of modern cars across the globe. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle by using engine ECU software that stops cars from starting if an untrue transponder signal is sent.
It is possible for a criminal in the event that they know the code that disables an immobiliser, to disable it. The battery inside most key fobs can be removed by removing it and a burglar can employ a simple tool take out the immobiliser's circuit board and replace it with a blank. Then they will be capable of starting your car.
With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no remotes or keys to be purchased. The immobiliser communicates directly with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is accomplished via a discrete, quiet data loop in CAN that cannot be detected by diagnostic tools, such as the ones used by high-tech thieves. It does not also utilize a traditional key fob with LED indicators, meaning it's not visible at a glance.
You may need to deactivate Autowatch's Ghost 2 automatic protection at certain times like valet parking or a service. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a special mode for this, referred to as "Service Mode' which is activated by a push of an app on your smartphone. The vehicle can still be operated however the maximum speed is restricted to 36mph for greater security.
Contact us today to arrange a demonstration at our workshop. A member of our team will explain how the system works and will give you a Ghost 2 emergency card, installation certificate, and security assurance.
Simple PIN code change process
Ghost is a next generation device that can secure your vehicle without cutting wires or installing aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data network. A personalised PIN is created using buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The system prevents engine start and cannot be re-enabled since no RF signals are generated from the device. This makes it impossible to be detected using sophisticated scanning and RF technologies used by modern thieves.
The PIN code can be altered to lock out previous drivers or even include an override number if you forget the sequence. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to accomplish this. The system has a valet-mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that your garage or mechanic can work on the vehicle without knowing the pin number. This is a great option for those who do not want their PIN sequence to be divulged, but wish to leave their car with valet parking or service.
In contrast to Thatcham products which require additional key fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system which takes advantage of the buttons in your vehicle to create a unique and interchangeable PIN code sequence. This sequence is entered via the smartphone application. No extra LED indicators are thrown out, and your vehicle will be protected without any possibility of being disabled.
Tested for each vehicle
Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs which require pressing buttons, is discretely installed under the dash or on the steering wheel. Only you will know it's there. The device is connected to your car's CAN data networks and an individual PIN code is inserted using existing buttons on your vehicle. The system won't allow your car to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves can't copy the keys to your vehicle or gain access to the OBD to hack into it.
Ghost is a feature that can be found in all vehicles including electric vehicles, motorhomes, vans, and bikes. Ghost is also extremely flexible and can be set to disable under different circumstances. For example, it can be set to enter Valet mode when the vehicle is being taken to a valet park or servicing company. This means that your car can be operated within a pre-determined 30mph speed limit. The ghost immobiliser will be activated when it returns to your home.
The device can be reset at anytime to your personal PIN code. This is useful when you forget the code or the device is inoperable which means it's just as good as new.
The device is unnoticed by anyone who doesn't know about it is. It does this by analyzing the buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard and then using the information it sends to determine which button was hit. This makes it a safe and secure security system that can't be tampered by RF scanning or jamming, or even a door lock pick set.
