Ghost Immobiliser 2
Protects your vehicle from key cloning & stopping thieves driving your vehicle with the original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle and a unique PIN must be entered in order to start the engine.
Contrary to trackers Ghost does not transmit any radio frequency signals and can't be detected with diagnostic tools. It does not have any LED indicators or buttons that could indicate its presence in your car or van.
Anti-key Cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was created to stop key cloning. This device connects with your vehicle's data network CAN and creates a unique pin code by using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This prevents thieves from being able to start your car. If the wrong PIN is entered, it will prevent your engine from running, making it impossible to leave with your pride and Joy.
A ghost immobiliser is a new technology that is extremely hard for thieves to defeat. The ghost immobiliser is different from physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering lock that can be cut, is a discrete electronic device. It isn't recognized by thieves as it doesn't emit radio signals and operates silently.
This next generation immobiliser is equipped to shield your car from a myriad of threats like keys that are duplicated, key-hacking, and relay attacks. It also stops the thief from adding a key or replacing your ECU as it won't allow them to start the car without first entering the correct PIN code.
The ghost immobiliser 2 unlike other immobilisers, does not require an external remote or key fob to operate. It can be turned off from the driver's phone with a simple application. This makes it perfect for those times when you have to give your car over to valet parking or for servicing without key fobs.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest version of the Ghost's immobiliser. It is designed to be easy and convenient to use while remaining as secure as possible. This is accomplished by connecting the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, which means there aren't any wires that are able to be hidden or easily spotted. It also has an integrated feature that allows you to disarm your Ghost-II by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth, so you can get in and drive, hassle free.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking has become the latest technique used by professional car thieves. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD using the help of a laptop, mobile application, and a few cables that are available on the internet for less than PS50. Once they have access, they are able to do anything they want including resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your vehicle, or taking it away within a matter of minutes.
It can prevent your car from being taken away by requiring a unique PIN sequence to be entered in conjunction with your key fob before you can start the engine or leave. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) by using the CAN Data Circuit. It is not detected by any scanners for RF or code grabbing. 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 require a laptop with software capable of reading the OBD protocol. This is available for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You'll also require a cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN Bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for PS50. The cable has to be connected to the wiring harness of your car, for example the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has gained access to the OBD port of your vehicle, they are able to send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rates which can cause a crash to the car's CAN and prevent the system from functioning. This could cause the engine to stall, doors to lock and even the brakes to activate.
There is no need for additional remotes or key fobs
A car immobiliser is a great piece of anti theft technology that is used by billions of modern cars all over the world. Using engine ECU software to prevent vehicles from starting if a false 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, and bypass it. The battery inside most key fobs can be removed by prying it open, so a thief can make use of a simple tool to take out the immobiliser's circuit board and replace it with a blank. Then, they'll be in a position to start your car.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that doesn't require additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser communicates with the vehicle's engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) through a discreet, silent data circuit in CAN that is not detectable by diagnostic tools such as those employed by high-tech thieves. It also doesn't utilize a traditional key fob with LED indicators, so it can go undetected at a glance.
There will be times that you must deactivate Autowatch Ghost 2's automatic security for instance, during the valet parking or service work. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a special mode for this, referred to as 'Service Mode that can be activated with just a push of an app on your phone. The car can still be operated, but the maximum speed is limited to 36mph for added security.

Simple process to change the PIN code
Ghost is a new generation device that can secure your vehicle without cutting wires or adding aftermarket key fobs. ghost car immobiliser is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a personalised PIN code is programmed into it via buttons on your steering wheel and the dash. The system prevents engine start and cannot be bypassed as no RF signals are emitted from the device. This makes it impossible to be detected using sophisticated scanning and RF technologies that are used by modern thieves.
The PIN code sequence can be changed whenever you want to lock out prior drivers, and it even has an override option in the event of forgotten sequences. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to accomplish this. The system also includes a valet mode feature which can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your mechanic or garage can fix the vehicle without needing to know the code. This is a great choice for customers who don't want their PIN sequence to be disclosed, but wish to leave their car with valet parking or service.
Contrary 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. The sequence is entered via the smartphone app, meaning there are no additional LEDs thrown and your car is safe from the risk of being blocked by hackers or other technology.
Every vehicle is tested
In contrast to key fobs that require you to press buttons on them and a ghost immobiliser can be hidden under your steering wheel or dash to make sure you are unaware it's even there. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network, and the personalised PIN code is inserted using buttons that are already present on your vehicle. The system will not allow your car to start until the code is entered. This means that thieves can't duplicate your keys or access the OBD port to hack into your vehicle.
Ghost can be used in all vehicles including electric cars, vans, motorhomes and bicycles. It's also extremely versatile and can be programmed to turn off under different circumstances. For instance, it can be set to enter Valet mode when the vehicle is being transported to a valet parking or a service provider. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a pre-determined 30mph speed limit and the ghost immobiliser will activate itself once it is returned to your possession.
The device can also be reset at anytime to your personal PIN code. This is great if you lose the code or if the device becomes unusable.
It's also important to note that the device is unnoticeable to anyone who isn't familiar with it. This is due to it running through existing buttons on your car's dashboard and steering wheel and utilizes the information they send to determine the buttons that have been pressed. This makes it a secure and reliable security option that can't be tampered with by jamming, RF scanning or door lock pick sets.
