The Three Greatest Moments In Ghost Immobiliser 2 History
Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving your vehicle with original keys. Our most recent immobiliser connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle and a unique PIN has to be entered in order to start the engine.
In contrast to trackers, Ghost does not transmit any radio frequency signals and can't be detected by diagnostic tools. Ghost does not have LED indicators or buttons that would signal its presence in your vehicle or van.
Anti-key Cloning
The ghost immobiliser is created to fight key hacking and cloning. This device connects to your vehicle's CAN data network and creates an unique pin code push sequence by using the factory buttons on your dashboard and the steering wheel. This will stop the thief from being able start your vehicle. If the wrong PIN is entered, it will prevent your engine from running and making it impossible to drive off with your joy and pride.
Ghost immobilisers employ an innovative technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to defeat. In contrast to physical deterrents such as wheel locks and steering locks which can be cut or jacked the ghost immobiliser is a discreet electronic device that can't be detected by common thieves because it doesn't emit radio signals and works silently.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your car from a variety of threats, including key-hacking relay attacks, key-hacking, and copied copies. It also stops thieves from stealing keys or replacing your ECU because it won't permit them to start the vehicle without entering the correct PIN code.
The ghost immobiliser 2 unlike other immobilisers does not require a remote control or key fob to operate. It can be turned off from the driver's phone using a simple app. This is ideal for the times you have to give your car to valet parking or servicing without key fobs.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest version of the Ghost immobiliser. It is designed to make it as simple and user-friendly as possible and yet be as secure as possible. This is achieved by linking 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 spotted. Ghost 2 immobiliser comes with built-in features that allow you to disarm the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to the vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the most recent method employed 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 are available on the internet for less than PS50. Once they have access, they can do whatever they want, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your car, or even stealing it in under a minute.
If you have an Ghost immobiliser installed, it will stop your car being stolen with this method by requiring that a unique PIN code sequence is entered into your key fob in order to start the engine and then drive away. It does this by communicating with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is indetectable to any RF scanning or code grabbing technology. It has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code.
To utilize an OBD hacking device, you'll must have an operating system that is capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. These can be bought for less than PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You'll also require cables with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus, these are available on eBay and Amazon for about PS50. The next step is to connect the cable into the wire harness of your vehicle for example, the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker gains access to the OBD port on your vehicle, they will send diagnostics to the system using high baud rate which can cause a crash to the car's CAN and prevent the systems from working. This could cause your vehicle's engine to stall or even lock up.
No additional remotes or key fobs required.
A car immobiliser is excellent piece of anti-theft technology used by billions of modern cars around the world. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle by using engine ECU software that prevents cars from starting if the transponder is false.
It is possible for a thief to have the code to disable an immobiliser, to disable it. A thief could easily take the battery off of most key fobs by removing them. They could then use an easy tool to take out the internal circuit board from an immobiliser and replace it with a blank. They will then be in a position to start your vehicle.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that doesn't require additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser communicates with engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a discrete and silent data circuit in CAN that is undetectable with diagnostic tools like the ones used by high-tech thieves. It does not also utilize a traditional key fob with LED indicators, meaning it is able to go unnoticed in plain sight.
You may need to deactivate Autowatch's Ghost 2 auto protection at certain times like during valet parking or a service job. Ghost CAN immobilisers feature a mode called 'Service Mode,' which you can activate by just a click of a button on your phone. The car can still be operated however, the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.

Simple Change of PIN Code
Ghost is a next generation device that can secure 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 programmed using buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The device doesn't emit RF signals, therefore it is unable to be manipulated. This makes it undetectable by sophisticated scanning or code grabbing techniques that modern thieves employ.
The PIN code can be changed to block previous drivers, or even add an override code in case you forget the sequence. When installing the installer will show how to accomplish this. The system comes with a valet-mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that your garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without knowing the code. This is a great choice for customers who don't want their pin number to be divulged, but wish to leave their car with valet parking or service.
Unlike Thatcham products which require additional key fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that uses the buttons in your vehicle to create an unique and interchangeable PIN code sequence. The sequence is entered using the app on your smartphone. No additional LED indicators are thrown out, and your vehicle is protected without risk of being disabled.
Tested for every vehicle
A ghost immobiliser, in contrast to 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 your vehicle's CAN network and a PIN number can be programmed using the buttons on your vehicle. The system won't allow your car to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves are unable to copy the keys to your car or use the OBD to hack into it.
Ghost can be used in all vehicles including electric cars, vans, motorhomes and bikes. It's also extremely versatile and can be programmed to shut down in a variety of situations. For example, it can be programmed to go into Valet mode when the vehicle is being taken to a valet park or servicing company. This means that your car can be operated within a specified 30mph speed limit, and the ghost immobiliser will reactivate itself once it is returned to your home.
The device can also be reset at any time to your personal PIN number. This is useful when you forget the code or the device becomes inoperable, meaning that it's effectively just as good as new.
It is also unnoticed by anyone who doesn't know about it is. It does this by running through the buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel and analyzing the data they send in order to determine the exact button that was pressed. This makes it a completely secure and reliable security system that can't be tampered with by jamming, RF scanning, or door lock pick sets.
