The brand new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device that was designed to fight recent crime trends, including key hacking and cloning. This smart system connects directly to the onboard CAN network of your vehicle, and prevents it from being started or driven without the right code. The system is completely undetectable and does not utilize radio frequencies or a key fob, instead it lets you create a unique PIN sequence through the buttons on your vehicle such as the ones on your steering wheel or dashboard, which you can change at any time. You can design the PIN up to 20 times long to ensure maximum security and an emergency code that is secure is provided too.
The system works by communicating with the vehicle's CAN data network to determine the moment a particular PIN is entered. It then sends a signal to the vehicle that disables the engine and ignition and shuts down vital components such as the starter motor and the fuel pump. The system also provides the option of a "valet mode" that allows you to turn off the system and stop your vehicle from being driven by valets or service centre staff without the correct key.
The Ghost device is distinct from traditional immobilisers, which can be deactivated by using professional diagnostic tools. It uses the onboard network to communicate with ECUs and cannot be tampered. It's a sealed device, which means it is impossible to monitor the circuits, which makes it near impossible for thieves to hear the tell-tale clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays emit.
This technology is also not vulnerable to jamming devices utilized by high-tech thieves. Furthermore, since it is based on the CAN data network it's also unaffected by other diagnostic tools. This makes it the ideal anti-theft option for any modern vehicle.
