Why No One Cares About Ghost Immobiliser 2
Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning and stops thieves from driving your vehicle with your original keys. Our most recent immobiliser connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle and a unique PIN must be entered to start the engine.
Ghost unlike trackers, doesn't emit radio frequency signals and cannot be identified by diagnostic tools. There are also no indicators in the form of LEDs or buttons that give the impression of its presence in your car or van.
Anti-key cloning
The ghost immobiliser is created to fight key hacking and cloning. This device connects to your vehicle's CAN data network and creates a unique pin code push sequence by using the buttons that are factory-installed on your dashboard as well as the steering wheel. This prevents thieves from being capable of starting your car. If the incorrect PIN code is entered, your engine isn't able to start and it will be impossible for them to leave with your pride and joy.
A ghost immobiliser is a new technology that is extremely hard for thieves to defeat. Contrary to physical deterrents, such as wheel locks and steering locks which can be cut or jacked, the ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that can't be recognized by ordinary thieves because it doesn't emit any radio signals and operates in a silent manner.
The next generation of immobilisers are able to protect your car from a myriad of threats like key-hacking, cloned keys and relay attacks. It also has the ability to stop thieves from acquiring a new key or replacing your ECU in the sense that it will not allow the vehicle to start without entering the correct PIN code first.
Contrary to other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 doesn't require any additional key fobs or remotes to operate. It can be deactivated through an app on the driver's smartphone. This is perfect for the time you have to give your car to valet parking, or for maintenance without key fobs.
The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest version of our revolutionary ghost immobiliser. It is designed to make it as easy and convenient to use and yet be as secure as it can be. This is achieved by integrating the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, which means that there are no additional wires to hide or be easily located. It also comes with an inbuilt feature that lets users to deactivate their Ghost-II by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth which means you can go out and drive with no hassle.

OBD port hacking has become the latest method used by professional car thieves. Thieves have access to your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than an 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 are able to do whatever they want including changing fault codes and tuning your car to taking your joy and pride away in under a minute.
It will protect your car from being stolen by requiring a specific PIN code to be entered along with your key fob prior to you start the engine or drive away. It does this by interacting with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit, and is completely undetectable to any RF scanning or code grabbing technology. It comes with a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to start with no PIN code.
You will also need cables with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These cables can be found on eBay and Amazon for around P50. You will also require a cable with OBD pins connected to the CAN Bus. These cables are available on Amazon/Ebay around 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 access to the OBD port on your vehicle, they can send diagnostics to the system using high baud rate that will cause a crash of the car's CAN and stop the systems from working. This could cause the engine to stall or even lock doors, and even the brakes to activate.
No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs
A car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology used by billions of modern cars all over the world. Using engine ECU software to stop cars from starting if a fake transponder signal is transmitted to it, an aftermarket immobiliser is a great way to protect your vehicle.
It is possible for a thief in the event that they have the code to disable an immobiliser, to disable it. A burglar can easily remove the battery from many key fobs by removing them. They could then use an easy tool to remove the internal circuit board from an immobiliser and replace it with blank. Then, they'll be able to start your car.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that does not require any additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser communicates directly with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is accomplished via a discrete, quiet data loop in CAN that is not detected by diagnostic tools such as those used by high tech thieves. It doesn't come with a traditional keyfob that has an LED indicator, so it's inaccessible.
You may have to turn off Autowatch's Ghost 2 protection at times like valet parking or during a service. The ghost CAN immobiliser comes with a specific mode to do this, referred to 'Service Mode' which is activated by the touch of an app on your smartphone. The car is still operational however, the maximum speed is restricted to 36 mph.

Simple PIN code Change Process
Ghost is the latest generation of device that secures your vehicle without cutting wires or installing aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data network and a personalised PIN code is programmed into it using buttons on your steering wheel & dash. The system blocks engine start and cannot be bypassed because no RF signals are generated from the device. This makes it impossible to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing techniques used by modern thieves.
The PIN code sequence can be altered anytime you want to lock out prior drivers, and it even has an override option in the event of forgotten sequences. The installer will guide you through the process to do this during installation. The system also has the valet mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your garage or mechanic can repair the car without having to know the code. This is great for customers who wish to surrender their car to valet parking or service, but still don't want to give away the PIN sequence.
Unlike Thatcham products that require additional key-fobs in order to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that uses the buttons in your vehicle to create a unique and interchangeable PIN code sequence. This sequence is entered through the app on your smartphone, which means there are no additional LEDs being thrown, and your vehicle is safe from the risk of being disabled by hackers or other technology.
Tested for each vehicle
Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs that require pressing buttons, is discretely installed under the steering wheel or dash. Only you will know it's there. The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network, and the personalised PIN code is programmed into it using buttons that are already present on your car. The system will then stop your engine from starting unless the code has been entered before. This means that thieves are unable to clone your car's existing keys or access the OBD port to hack your vehicle.
Ghost is a great option for all vehicles, including electric cars motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and bicycles. It's also extremely versatile and can be programmed to deactivate in various situations. For instance, it can be programmed to go into Valet mode when the car is transported to a valet parking or servicing company. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a set 30mph speed limit, and the ghost immobiliser will be activated when it returns to your property.
Another great feature is that the device can be reset to the personalized PIN code at any point. This is useful if you forget the code or the device becomes inoperable and is like new.
It's also important to note that the device is completely inaccessible to those who aren't familiar with it. It does this by running through the buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel and analyzing the data they send in order to identify the exact button that was pressed. This makes it a safe and secure security system that can't be altered by RF scanning, jamming, or even a door lock pick set.
