ghost 2 immobiliser cost Immobiliser 2
Guards your vehicle from key cloning, and stops thieves from driving it with original keys. Our most recent immobiliser connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle and a unique pin must be entered to begin the engine.
In contrast to trackers, Ghost does not transmit any radio frequency signals and can’t be detected with diagnostic tools. Ghost doesn’t have LED indicators or buttons to indicate its presence in your car or van.
Anti-key Cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was designed to combat key cloning. This device connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle and generates a unique pin code sequence that is activated by pressing the buttons from the factory on your dashboard as well as the steering wheel. This prevents thieves from being able to start your car. If the wrong PIN is entered, it will prevent your engine from starting which makes it impossible to drive off with your joy and pride.
A ghost immobiliser is a new technology that is extremely hard for thieves to defeat. The ghost immobiliser, unlike physical deterrents such as wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut, is a discreet electronic device. It can’t even be recognized by thieves as it doesn’t emit radio signals and operates silently.
The next generation of immobilisers are capable of protecting your vehicle from a variety of threats including cloned keys, key-hacking and even relay attacks. It can also stop thieves from stealing keys or replacing your ECU as it won’t allow them to start the car without first entering the correct PIN.
In contrast to other immobilisers the ghost immobiliser 2 does NOT require any additional key fobs or remotes in order to operate. It can be turned off through an app on the smartphone of the driver. This makes it ideal for fitting those times when you have to hand your car to valet parking or servicing without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest version of the Ghost immobiliser. It was designed to make it as simple and user-friendly as possible, while still being as secure as it can be. This is achieved by linking the Ghost-II with the vehicle’s CAN data network, meaning there are no wires that can be hidden or easily found. 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 get in and drive, with no hassle.
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 app, and some cables that 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 like including changing 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 with your key fob before you start the engine or leave. It does this by interacting with the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is totally undetectable to any RF scanning or code grabbing technology. It even includes a Service/Valet mode that will allow your vehicle to start without needing the PIN code.
You will also need a cable with OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for around PS50. You’ll also require cables with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus, these can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay for about PS50. The next step is to connect the cable into the wiring harness of your car for example, the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has established a connection to your vehicles OBD port, they can send diagnostics requests to the system at high baud rates which can cause CAN to crash and stop systems inside your vehicle from functioning. This could cause your vehicle’s engine to stall or even stop working.
No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs
A car immobiliser is a great piece of anti theft technology that is used by millions of modern vehicles around the world. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle by using engine ECU software that blocks cars from starting when a false transponder is transmitted.
It is possible for a criminal to have the code to disable an immobiliser, and bypass it. A burglar can easily remove the battery from many key fobs by squeezing them open. They could then use an easy tool to remove the internal circuit board of an immobiliser and Ghost immobilisers 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 communicates directly with the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is done by a discrete and silent CAN data loop that is not detected by diagnostic tools like those used by high-tech thieves. It also does not utilize a traditional key fob with LED indicators, meaning it is able to go unnoticed at a glance.
You may have to turn off autowatch ghost immobiliser‘s Ghost 2 automatic protection at times like valet parking or during a service. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a special mode for this, called “Service Mode’ which is activated by a push of a button on your phone. The car is still operated however its maximum speed will be restricted to 36 mph for added security.
Contact us today to set up an appointment for a demonstration in our workshop. A member of our team will explain how the system works, and give you your Ghost 2 emergency card, installation certificate, and security assurance.
Simple PIN code change process
Ghost is the next-generation device that locks your vehicle without cutting wires or installing key fobs from an aftermarket. It is directly connected to the vehicle’s CAN data network. A personal PIN can be programmed using buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The device doesn’t emit RF signals, so it is unable to be manipulated. This makes it impossible to detect by sophisticated scans of RF and code-grabbing techniques employed by modern thieves.
The PIN code can be changed to block previous drivers, or even add an override number 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 code. This is a great choice for those who do not wish their pin sequence to be disclosed, but wish to leave their car with valet parking or service.
Unlike Thatcham products that require additional key-fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that makes use of the buttons in your vehicle to create a unique and interchangeable PIN code sequence. This sequence is entered via the smartphone app. No extra LED indicators are used, and your vehicle will be protected without any chance of being disabled.
Tested for every vehicle
Unlike key fobs that require you to press buttons the ghost immobiliser is hidden under your dash or steering wheel so that only you know it’s there. The device is connected to the car’s CAN data networks and the personalised PIN code is inserted by using the buttons already on your vehicle. The system then prevents the engine from starting until this code has been entered first. This means that thieves are unable to clone your car’s existing keys or gain access to the OBD port to hack into your vehicle.
Ghost can be utilized in all vehicles including electric cars motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and bicycles. Ghost is also extremely flexible and can be set to disable in various situations. For example, it can be programmed to go into Valet mode when the vehicle is taken to a valet park or a service provider. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a specified 30mph speed limit, and the ghost immobiliser will activate itself when it returns to your home.
The device can be reset at any time to your personal PIN code. This is useful when you forget the code or the device ceases to function which means it’s like new.
It’s also important to note that the device is unnoticeable to anyone who isn’t familiar with it. It does this by running through the buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel, and using the data it sends to determine the exact button that was hit. This makes it a secure and reliable security system that cannot be altered by RF scanning, jamming, or a door lock pick set.
