Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning & stopping thieves driving it using the original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to the CAN data network of your vehicle and a unique pin must be entered in order to start the engine.
Ghost, unlike trackers, does not emit radio frequency signals and cannot be identified by diagnostic tools. Ghost does not have LED indicators or buttons that could signal its presence in your vehicle or van.
Anti-key cloning
The ghost immobiliser has been created to fight key cloning and hacking. The device is connected to your vehicle's data network CAN and creates a unique pin code by using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This stops the thief from being able to start your car. If the incorrect PIN is entered it will stop the engine from starting which makes it impossible to leave with your pride and Joy.
A ghost immobiliser uses an innovative technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to defeat. Contrary to physical deterrents, such as wheel locks and steering locks which can be cut or taken, the
ghost installations immobiliser is a discreet electronic device that cannot be detected by common thieves, as it doesn't emit any radio signals and works silently.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your car from a variety of threats, including key-hacking, relay attacks and copied copies. It also has the ability to stop the thief from adding the new key or replacing your ECU, as it will not allow them to start your car without entering the correct PIN code before entering.
The ghost immobiliser 2 unlike other immobilisers, does not require the use of a remote control or key fob to operate. It can be deactivated by the driver's smartphone using a simple app. This is ideal for the times you have to give your car to valet parking or for servicing without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest version of our groundbreaking
ghost immobiliser and tracker immobiliser. It is designed to be as simple and user-friendly as possible, but remains as secure as ever. This is achieved by linking the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, which means there are no wires that can be hidden or easily located. It comes with a built-in feature which allows you to deactivate the Ghost-II simply by connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the newest method employed by professional
auto ghost immobiliser thieves to steal cars. Thieves can access your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than a laptop, an app and a few cables which can be purchased online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they can do anything they like to do, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your car, or taking it away in less than a minute.
If you have an Ghost immobiliser, it can prevent your car from being stolen with this method by needing a unique PIN code sequence is entered on your key fob to start the engine and 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 code grabbing or RF scanning technology. It comes with a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code.
To make use of an OBD hacking device you need to have an operating system that is capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. This can be purchased for under PS100 on eBay or Amazon. Also, you will require a cable that has OBD pins connected to the CAN Bus. These cables can be purchased at Amazon or Ebay for around 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 access to the OBD port of your vehicle, they can send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rate which can cause a crash to the car's CAN, and prevent the system from functioning. This could cause your car's engine to stall or even stop working.
No need for additional remotes or key fobs
The car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology used by billions modern vehicles all over the world. An aftermarket immobiliser helps protect your vehicle through the use of engine ECU software that blocks cars from starting if an untrue transponder signal is sent.
It is possible for thieves to have the code to disable an immobiliser, and bypass it. A thief could easily remove the battery from many key fobs by prying them open. They could then use an easy tool to take out the internal circuit board of an immobiliser and replace it with a blank. They will then be able start your vehicle.
With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes required. The immobiliser communicates directly with 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 doesn't have a traditional keyfob with LED indicator, so it's not visible.
There will be instances that you must deactivate

visit the following site, Ghost 2's automatic security, for example during a valet parking or servicing. The ghost CAN immobiliser comes with a specific mode to do this, referred to "Service Mode' which is activated by the touch of a button on your phone. The car is still operational, but the maximum speed is limited to 36 mph.
If you'd like to know more about the TASSA certified ghost immobiliser, please contact us today to book a demonstration at our workshop. A member of our team will run through the entire process of the system's operation and provide you with owner manuals, installation certification, Ghost 2 emergency card and security assurance.
Simple change of PIN code
Ghost is the latest generation of device that locks your vehicle without cutting wires or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network. A personalised PIN can be programmed using buttons on the steering wheel and dash. The system stops engine start and can't be bypassed as no RF signals are generated from the device. This makes it impossible to detect by sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing techniques used by modern thieves.
The PIN code is able to be changed to lock out earlier drivers or include an override code if you forget the sequence. During installation, the installer will demonstrate how to do this. The system comes with a valet-mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that the garage or mechanic can work on the vehicle without knowing the pin number. This is ideal for customers who want to give their vehicle for valet parking or service, but don't want divulge the pin sequence.
In contrast to Thatcham products that require additional key-fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that makes use of the buttons on your car to create a unique interchangeable PIN code sequence. This sequence is entered through the app on your smartphone. No extra LED indicators are thrown out, and your vehicle will be protected without any risk of being disabled.
Tested for every vehicle
Contrary to key fobs which require you to press buttons and a ghost immobiliser can be discreetly installed under your steering wheel or dash to make sure you are unaware it's there. The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and an individual PIN code is inserted by using the buttons already on your car. The system will not allow your car to start until the code is entered. This means that thieves cannot duplicate the keys of your car or access the OBD to hack into it.
Ghost can be used in all vehicles including electric cars motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and bikes. It's also incredibly versatile and can be programmed to shut down in a variety of situations. For example, it can be set to enter Valet mode when the car is taken to a valet parking or servicing company. This allows you to drive your vehicle within the 30mph limit and the ghost immobiliser will turn on itself when the vehicle returns to your possession.
Another great feature is that the device can be reset to your personal PIN code at any point. This is great if you lose the code or if the device becomes unusable.
The device is inaccessible to anyone who doesn't know about it is. This is because it runs through existing buttons on the dashboard of your car and on the steering wheel and uses the data they transmit to identify the buttons that have been activated. This makes it a safe and secure security system that can't be manipulated by RF scanning or jamming, or a door lock pick set.
