Ghost Immobiliser 2

Secures your vehicle from key cloning and stops thieves from driving it using your original keys. Our most recent immobiliser connects to your vehicle's data network, CAN, and a unique PIN code must be entered for the engine to begin.

Ghost, unlike trackers, does not emit radio frequency signals, and therefore cannot be identified by diagnostic tools. Ghost does not have LED indicators or buttons that could signal its presence in your vehicle or van.

Anti-key cloning

The ghost immobiliser is designed to combat key cloning and hacking. This device connects with your vehicle's data network CAN, and creates a unique pin number by using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This stops the thief from being able to start your vehicle. If the incorrect PIN code is entered, the engine cannot be started and it will be impossible for them to drive away with your joy and pride.

Ghost immobilisers are new technology that is extremely hard for thieves to defeat. In contrast 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 detected by common thieves since it doesn't emit radio signals and is completely silent.

This next-generation immobiliser can protect your car against a variety of threats, such as key-hacking relay attacks, key hacking and copied copies. It is also able to stop the thief from adding a new key or replacing your ECU by ensuring that it does not allow the vehicle to start without entering the correct PIN code before entering.

Unlike other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 doesn't require any additional key fobs or remotes for operation. It can be turned off via the driver's mobile using a simple app. This is a great option the time you have to give your car away for valet parking or maintenance without key fobs.

The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest version of our groundbreaking ghost immobiliser. It is designed to be as simple and easy to use as possible, but remains as secure as ever. This is accomplished by linking the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, which means there are no wires that are able to be hidden or easily found. It has an inbuilt feature that allows you to disarm the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to the vehicle's Bluetooth.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking has become the latest technique used by professional car thieves. Thieves can gain access to your vehicle's OBD using the help of a laptop, mobile application, and a few cables that can be bought on the internet for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they can do whatever they like including resetting fault codes and tuning your vehicle to stealing your pride and joy in less than a minute.

It can prevent your car from being stolen by requiring a unique PIN code to be entered along with your key fob before you can start the engine or drive away. It does this by interacting with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is indetectable to any code grabbing or RF scanning technology. It has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start with no PIN code.

To use an OBD hacking device, you'll must have an operating system that is capable of reading the OBD protocol, which can be bought for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You'll also require a cable with OBD pins which are connected to the CAN bus. These can be found on Amazon/Ebay for around PS50. The next step is to connect 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 of your vehicle, they will send diagnostics to the system with high baud rates that will cause a crash of the car's CAN and prevent the systems from working. This could cause the engine to stall or even lock doors, and even the brakes to engage.

No additional key fobs or remotes required.

A car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology that is used by billions of modern cars around the world. Utilizing engine ECU software to stop cars from starting if a fake transponder signal is detected by it an aftermarket immobiliser can be an excellent way to safeguard your vehicle.

It is possible for thieves, if they know the code that disables an immobiliser, to disable it. A burglar can easily remove the battery from many key fobs by removing them. They could then employ an easy tool to take out the internal circuit board of an immobiliser and replace it with blank. Then, they will be able to start your vehicle.

The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that doesn't require additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser connects directly to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is done via a discrete, quiet data loop in CAN that cannot be detected by diagnostic tools like those used by high tech thieves. It does not include a traditional keyfob, which has an LED indicator, so it's not visible.

There will be occasions that you must deactivate Autowatch Ghost 2's automatic security for instance, during the valet parking or service work. Ghost CAN immobilisers have a mode called "Service Mode that you can activate with just a click of a phone button. The car is still operational, but the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.

Contact us today to set up an appointment for a demonstration in our workshop. A member of our team will provide an in-depth explanation of the system's operation and provide you with your owner's manuals, installation certificates, Ghost 2 emergency card and security assurance.

Simple change of PIN code

ghost immobiliser fitting is a next generation 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 personal PIN code is programmed in it via buttons on your steering wheel & the dash. The system stops engine start and can't be bypassed because no RF signals are generated from the device. This makes it impossible to be detected by sophisticated scanning and RF techniques used by modern thieves.

The PIN code is able to be changed to block previous drivers or even include an override number if you forget the sequence. During installation the installer will show how to accomplish this. The system comes with a valet-mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences, so that your mechanic or garage can service the vehicle without knowing the code. This is a great choice for those who do not want their PIN sequence to be revealed but still would like to leave their vehicle with valet parking or service.

In contrast to Thatcham products that require additional key-fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that uses the buttons on your car to create a unique and interchangeable PIN code sequence. This sequence is entered using the smartphone app, meaning that no additional LEDs are thrown and your car is safe from the risk of being disabled by hackers or other technology.

Tested for each vehicle

A ghost immobiliser, in contrast to key fobs which require you to press buttons, is discretely installed under the dash or on the steering wheel. You won't even know it's there. The device is connected to your car's CAN data networks and the personalised PIN code is programmed into it by using the buttons already on your vehicle. The system will not allow your vehicle to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves are unable to clone the keys of your vehicle or gain access to the OBD to hack into it.

Ghost can be used in all vehicles including electric cars motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and bicycles. It's also extremely versatile and can be programmed to turn off in various situations. For example, it can be programmed to enter Valet mode when the vehicle is being transported to a valet parking or servicing company. This permits you to drive your vehicle within the 30mph limit and the ghost immobiliser will activate itself when the vehicle returns to your possession.

The device can also be reset at any time using your personal PIN number. This is useful when you forget the code or the device becomes inoperable, meaning that it's effectively like new.

The device is inaccessible to anyone who doesn't even know what it is. This is due to it running through the buttons that are already on the dashboard of your car and on the steering wheel, and uses the data they transmit to recognise which button has been activated. This makes it a completely secure and reliable security system that isn't affected by RF scanning, jamming or door lock pick sets.
