Guide To Ghost Immobiliser 2: The Intermediate Guide The Steps To Ghost Immobiliser 2
Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving your vehicle with original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and a unique PIN has to be entered in order to start the engine.
Unlike trackers Ghost does not transmit radio frequency signals and cannot be detected by diagnostic tools. autowatch ghost immobiliser doesn't have LED indicators or buttons to signal its presence in your van or car.
Anti-key cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was developed to stop key cloning. The device is connected to your vehicle's data network CAN, and creates a unique pin code using the factory buttons in your dashboard and steering. This will stop the thief from being able to start your car. If the incorrect PIN is entered, it will prevent your engine from starting which makes it impossible to leave with your pride and Joy.
Ghost immobilisers use an innovative technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to defeat. Unlike physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut or stolen, the ghost immobiliser is an invisible electronic device that isn't easily detected by regular thieves, as it doesn't emit radio signals and works silently.
This next generation immobiliser is equipped to shield your car from a variety of threats, including key-hacking, cloned keys and even relay attacks. It also stops the thief from adding a key or replacing your ECU because it won't permit them to start the vehicle without entering the correct PIN code.
Contrary to other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 does not require a key fobs or remotes for operation. It can be deactivated by the driver's smartphone using a simple app. This is ideal for those occasions when you have to hand your car over for valet parking or maintenance without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest evolution of Ghost immobiliser. It was designed to be simple and easy to use, while still being as secure as possible. This is achieved by integrating the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, meaning that there are no additional wires to hide or be easily identified. It has a built-in feature which allows users to disable the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to your vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking has become the most recent method employed by professional car thieves. Thieves have access to your vehicle's OBD using a laptop, a mobile app, and some cables that are available on the internet for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they are able to do whatever they like, from setting fault codes, and tuning your vehicle to stealing your pride and joy in just a few seconds.
If you have an Ghost immobiliser, it can protect your vehicle from theft using this method, by requiring that a unique PIN code sequence is entered into the fob of your key in order to start the engine and drive away. It does this by interacting with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is totally undetectable 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 need to have a laptop that has software capable of reading the OBD protocol. These can be bought for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You'll also require an OBD cable that has OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay for about PS50. The cable must be connected to the wiring harness of your car, such as the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has a connection to your vehicle's OBD port, they are able to send diagnostics to the system at high baud rates which will crash the CAN, and prevent systems within your vehicle from functioning. This could cause the engine to stall and doors to lock, or even the brakes to engage.
No additional key fobs or remotes are required.
The car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology used by billions modern vehicles all over the world. Utilizing engine ECU software to prevent vehicles from starting if a false transponder signal is detected by it an aftermarket immobiliser can be a great way to protect your vehicle.
It is possible for a criminal, if they know the code that disables an immobiliser, to disable it. A burglar could easily take the battery off of most key fobs by prying them open. They can then use an instrument to remove the circuit board inside an immobiliser and replace it with a blank. They will then be able start your vehicle.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that doesn't require additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser is directly connected to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is done by a discrete and silent data loop in the CAN which cannot be detected by diagnostic tools, such as those used by high tech thieves. It does not include a traditional keyfob, which has an LED indicator, so it's inaccessible.
You may have to turn off Autowatch's Ghost 2 protection at certain times like valet parking or a service. Ghost CAN immobilisers come with a feature called 'Service Mode,' which is activated with just a click of a phone button. The vehicle can still be operated, but the maximum speed is restricted to 36mph for greater security.
If you'd like to know more about the TASSA certified ghost immobiliser, call us today to arrange a demonstration in our workshop. A member of our team will provide a full breakdown of the system's operation and will provide you with owner's manuals, installation certificate, Ghost 2 emergency card and security guarantee.
Simple Change of PIN Code
Ghost is a new generation device that secures your vehicle without cutting wires or putting in aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data network. A personal PIN can be set by pressing buttons on the steering wheel and dash. The device does not emit RF signals, which means it cannot be bypassed. This makes it impossible to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing techniques employed by modern thieves.
The PIN code sequence can be altered whenever you want to block previous drivers and even includes an override code in the event of lost sequences. The installer will show you how to do this during installation. The system has a valet-mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences, so that your garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without knowing the code. This is ideal for customers who wish to surrender their car for valet parking or service, but don't want to divulge the pin sequence.
Ghost is an unobtrusive system that utilizes the buttons on your vehicle to create an unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered using the app for smartphones, meaning no extra LED indications are displayed and your vehicle is secure and safe from the possibility of being disabled by hackers or other technology.
Tested for every vehicle
Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs which require you to press buttons, is hidden under the dash or on the steering wheel. Only you will know it's there. The device is connected to the CAN network of your vehicle, and a PIN code can be programmed by using the buttons on your car. The system won't permit your car to start until the code is entered. This means that thieves are unable to duplicate the keys of your vehicle or gain access to the OBD to hack into it.
Ghost can be utilized in all vehicles, including electric cars motorhomes, vans, and bikes. Ghost is also extremely flexible and can be set to disable under different circumstances. It can be programmed to go into Valet mode, for instance when the vehicle is taken to a valet service or parking company. This allows you to drive within a 30mph speed limit, and the ghost immobiliser will turn on itself when the vehicle returns to your possession.
Another fantastic feature is that the device can be reset to the personalized PIN code at any point. This is a great option if you lose the code, or in the event that the device becomes unusable.
It is also inaccessible to anyone who doesn't even know what it is. It works by running through the buttons on the dashboard of your car and on the steering wheel and uses the data they transmit to determine which button has been activated. This makes it a safe and solid security system that is not able to be tampered by RF scanning, jamming, or door lock pick set.
