Ghost Immobiliser 2
Guards your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving it with original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle and a unique pin must be entered to begin the engine.
Ghost unlike trackers, does not emit radio frequency signals and cannot be detected by diagnostic tools. Ghost does not have LED indicators or buttons that could indicate its presence in your vehicle or van.
Anti-key cloning
The ghost immobiliser has been designed to combat key hacking and cloning. This device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and creates an unique pin code using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This prevents thieves from being able to start your vehicle. If the wrong PIN is entered, it will prevent the engine from starting which makes it impossible to drive off with joy and pride.
A ghost immobiliser is a 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 stolen, the ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that cannot be detected by common thieves since it doesn't emit any radio signals and works silently.
The next generation of immobilisers are equipped to shield your car from a range of threats including keys that are duplicated, key-hacking, and even relay attacks. It can also stop the thief from adding a new key or replacing your ECU in the sense that it will not allow the car to start without entering the correct PIN code before entering.
The ghost immobiliser 2, unlike other immobilisers, does not require a remote control or key fob to operate. It is deactivable by using an app on the driver's smartphone. This makes it ideal for those occasions when you have to give your car over for valet parking or maintenance without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest version of the Ghost's immobiliser. It was designed to be easy and convenient to use while remaining as secure as is possible. This is achieved by connecting the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that there are no extra wires that are able to be hidden or easily found. It also comes with a built-in feature which allows you to disarm the Ghost-II simply by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the latest method employed by professional car thieves to steal cars. Thieves have access to your vehicle's OBD by using the help of a laptop, mobile app, and some cables that are available on the internet for less than PS50. Once they have access, they are able to do whatever they want to do, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your vehicle, or stealing it within a matter of minutes.
If you have a Ghost immobiliser installed, it will stop your car being stolen using this method, by requiring that a unique PIN sequence is entered alongside your key fob to start the engine and then drive away. It does this by communicating with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data circuit, and is completely undetectable to any RF scanning or code grabbing technology. It even has a Service/Valet mode which allows your vehicle to start without needing the PIN code.
You'll also require cables with OBD pins, which are connected to the CAN bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for around PS50. You'll also require a cable with OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus. These can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay for around PS50. The cable must be connected to the wiring harness of your car, such as the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has access to the OBD port on your vehicle, they will send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rates that will cause a crash of the car's CAN, and prevent the system from functioning. This can cause the engine to stall or even lock doors, and even the brakes to engage.
No additional key fobs or remotes are required.
The car immobiliser is an excellent piece of anti-theft technology that is used by billions modern vehicles all over the world. Utilizing engine ECU software to prevent cars from starting if a fake transponder signal is sent to it an aftermarket immobiliser is a great way to protect your vehicle.
However, it can be simple for a burglar to bypass an immobiliser system if they have access to the code to deactivate it. A thief could easily take the battery off of most key fobs by prying them open. They can then use an easy tool to remove 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 is directly connected to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is accomplished through a discrete, silent CAN data loop that is not detected by diagnostic tools, such as those used by high-tech thieves. It also does not 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 protection at certain times, such as during valet parking or a service job. Ghost CAN immobilisers have a mode called "Service Mode,' which you can activate by just a click of a phone button. The car can still be operated however, the maximum speed is limited to 36mph for added security.

Simple change of PIN code
Ghost is the latest generation of device that secures your car without cutting wires, or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a unique PIN code is programmed into it by pressing buttons on your steering wheel & dash. The device does not emit RF signals, so it cannot be bypassed. This makes it difficult to detect by sophisticated scanning and RF techniques that are used by modern thieves.
The PIN code can be altered to block previous drivers or even include an override code if you forget the sequence. The installer will demonstrate how to do this during installation. The system comes with a valet-mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that your mechanic or garage can service the vehicle without knowing the pin number. This is ideal for customers who want to hand over their car to valet parking / service but don't want divulge the PIN sequence.
In contrast to Thatcham products which require additional key fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that makes use of the buttons inside 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 secure and safe from the possibility of being disabled by hackers or any other technology.
Tested for every vehicle
A ghost immobiliser, unlike key fobs which require pressing buttons, is hidden under the steering wheel or dash. You won't even know it's there. The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a personalised PIN code is programmed by using the buttons already on your car. The system stops the engine from starting until the code has been entered first. This means that thieves are unable to duplicate the keys on your car or access the OBD port to hack into your vehicle.
Ghost can be used in all vehicles that use electric vehicles, vans, motorhomes and bicycles. It's also incredibly versatile and can be programmed to deactivate in various scenarios. It is possible to program it to go into Valet mode, for instance when the vehicle is transported to a valet company or parking company. This allows you to drive your vehicle within the 30mph limit, and the ghost immobiliser will activate itself when your vehicle is returned to your home.
The device can be reset at anytime to your personal PIN code. ghost ii immobiliser is a great option if you forget the code or in the event that the device becomes unusable.
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 then using the information it sends to determine the button that was pressed. This makes it a secure and reliable security system that cannot be compromised by jamming, RF scanning, or door lock pick sets.
