15 Terms Everyone In The Ghost Immobiliser 2 Industry Should Know

Ghost Immobiliser 2

Protects your vehicle from key cloning and stops thieves from driving it using the keys you originally had. Our most recent immobiliser is connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle and a unique PIN has to be entered to begin the engine.

Contrary to trackers Ghost doesn't transmit any radio frequency signals & can't be detected with diagnostic tools. Also, it doesn't have any LED indicators or buttons giving away its presence within your van or car.

Anti-key cloning

The ghost immobiliser was designed to stop key cloning and hacking. This device connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle and generates a unique pin code push sequence by using the factory buttons on your dashboard and the steering wheel. This stops the criminal from being capable of starting your car. If the incorrect PIN is entered, it will prevent your engine from starting and making it impossible to drive off with your joy and pride.

Ghost immobilisers use new technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to defeat. Unlike physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering locks which can be cut or jacked, the ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that can't be detected by common thieves, as it doesn't emit any radio signals and is completely silent.

The next-generation immobiliser protects your vehicle from a range of threats, including key hacking relay attacks, key-hacking, and copied copies. It can also stop the thief from adding a key or replacing your ECU because it won't permit them to start your vehicle without entering the correct PIN code.

The ghost immobiliser 2, unlike other immobilisers does not require the use of a remote control or key fob to operate. It is able to be deactivated via the driver's mobile using a simple app. This is ideal the time you have to give your car to valet parking, or for maintenance without key fobs.

The autowatch ghost immobiliser Ghost-II is the latest evolution of our ground-breaking ghost immobiliser. It is designed to be simple and easy to use, while still being as secure as possible. This is accomplished by integrating the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, meaning there aren't any wires that could be concealed or easily discovered. It also comes with a built-in feature that allows users to deactivate their Ghost-II by simply connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth and you'll be able to enter and drive hassle free.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking has become the latest method used by professional car thieves. Thieves can gain access to your vehicle's OBD with a laptop, a mobile application, and a few cables that can be purchased online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they can do anything they like including resetting your vehicle's fault codes, tuning your car, or even getting it stolen in less than a minute.

If you have an Ghost immobiliser, it can stop your car being stolen using this method, by requiring that a unique PIN code sequence is entered on the fob of your key in order to start the engine and then drive away. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) by using the CAN Data Circuit. This is undetectable by any scanning technology, RF or code grabbing. It even comes with a Service/Valet option that will allow your vehicle to start without the need for a PIN.

To use 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. Also, you will require a cable that has OBD pins connected to CAN Bus. These cables can be purchased on Amazon/Ebay around PS50. The cable has to be spliced into the wiring harness of your car, like the radio wiring harness.

Once the hacker gains access to the OBD port of your vehicle, they are able to send diagnostics to the system using high baud rates, which will crash the car's CAN, and prevent the system from functioning. This can cause your car's engine to stall or even stop working.

No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs

An immobiliser for your car is a great piece of anti theft technology that is used by billions of modern vehicles around the world. An aftermarket immobiliser helps protect your vehicle with engine ECU software that prevents cars from starting when an untrue transponder signal is sent.

It is possible for a thief in the event that they have the code to disable an immobiliser, to bypass it. The battery inside most key fobs is easily removed by prying it open and a burglar can make use of a simple tool to take out the immobiliser's circuit board and replace it with a blank. Then, they will be able to start your car.

With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes required. The immobiliser communicates with the vehicle's engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a discrete and silent data circuit in CAN that is unnoticeable with diagnostic tools, such as the ones used 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 protection for instance, during a valet parking or servicing. The ghost CAN immobiliser has a special mode for this, referred to as 'Service Mode which can be activated with pressing an app on your phone. The car is still operational however, the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.

Simple Change of PIN Code

Ghost is a new generation device that can secure your vehicle without cutting wires or putting in aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network. A personalised PIN can be programmed using buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The device doesn't emit RF signals, therefore it cannot be bypassed. This makes it unrecognisable by sophisticated scanning or code grabbing techniques that modern thieves employ.

The PIN code can be altered to block earlier drivers or include an override code if you forget the sequence. The installer will guide you through how to do this during installation. The system comes with a valet-mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences, so that your garage or mechanic can work on the vehicle without having to know the code. This is a great option for customers who don't want their pin number to be revealed but still want to leave their car with valet parking or service.

Ghost is an unobtrusive system that utilizes the buttons on your vehicle to create an individual and interchangeable PIN sequence. The sequence is entered using the app on your smartphone. There are no additional LED indicators are thrown, and your vehicle is protected without risk of being disabled.

Tested for each vehicle

Ghost immobilisers, unlike key fobs that require you to press buttons, is discretely installed under the steering wheel or dash. You won't even know it's there. The device is connected to your car's CAN data networks and a personalised PIN code is programmed into it using existing buttons on your car. The system then prevents the engine from starting until this code has been entered prior to. This means that thieves are unable to duplicate the keys of your car or access the OBD to hack into it.

Ghost is a great option for all vehicles, including electric cars motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and bikes. It's also extremely flexible and can be programmed to shut down in various situations. For instance, it could be programmed to go into Valet mode when the vehicle is taken to a valet park or service company. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a specified 30mph speed limit and the ghost immobiliser will reactivate itself when 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 completely unnoticeable to anyone who isn't familiar with it. This is due to it running through the buttons on your car's dashboard and steering wheel, and utilizes the information they send to recognise the button that was activated. This makes it a completely safe and reliable security solution that isn't affected by jamming, RF scanning, or door lock pick sets.
