Tips For Explaining Ghost Immobiliser 2 To Your Mom
Ghost Immobiliser 2
Protects your vehicle against key cloning, and stops thieves from driving your vehicle with original keys. Our most recent immobiliser is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and a unique PIN must be entered in order to start the engine.
Ghost unlike trackers, doesn't emit radio frequency signals, and therefore cannot be identified by diagnostic tools. There are also no LED indicators or buttons that can give the impression of its presence in your van or car.
Anti-key Cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was created to stop key cloning. The device connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle and creates an unique pin code sequence that is activated by pressing the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel. This stops the thief from being able to start your car. If the wrong PIN code is entered, your car cannot be started, making it impossible for them to leave with your joy and pride.
ghost immobiliser installation are new technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to beat. Unlike physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut or jacked the ghost immobiliser is an invisible electronic device that cannot be easily detected by regular thieves because it doesn't emit radio signals and operates in a silent manner.
The new generation of immobiliser is equipped to shield your car from a range of threats, including cloned keys, key-hacking and relay attacks. It also has the ability to stop the thief from adding an additional key or replacing your ECU in the sense that it will not allow the car to start without entering the correct PIN number first.
Contrary to other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 doesn't require any additional key fobs or remotes to operate. It can be deactivated via the driver's mobile using a simple app. This is a great option the time you have to give your car away for valet parking, or maintenance without key fobs.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest evolution of Ghost immobiliser. It is designed to be as simple and convenient to use as it is possible, while remaining as secure as ever. This is done by connecting the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, which means there aren't any additional wires to hide or be easily located. It also comes with an integrated feature that allows you to disable your Ghost-II by connecting it to the vehicle's Bluetooth and you'll be able to get in and drive, with no hassle.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the most recent method employed by professional car thieves. Thieves have access to your vehicle's OBD port with no more than a laptop, an application, and a few cables that can be bought online for under PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they are able to do whatever they like including setting fault codes, and tuning your car to stealing your pride and joy in just a few seconds.
It can protect your vehicle from being stolen by requiring a specific PIN sequence to be entered with your key fob before you can start the engine or leave. It does this by interacting with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit, and is completely undetectable to any RF scanning or code grabbing technology. It comes with a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code.
To utilize an OBD hacking device you require an operating system that is capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. This can be purchased for under PS100 on ebay or Amazon. You will also require a cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN Bus. These cables can be purchased on Amazon/Ebay around PS50. The cable needs to be spliced into the wiring harness of your car, like the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has a connection to your vehicle's OBD port, they will send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rate which will crash the CAN and block systems in your car from functioning. This could cause your vehicle's engine to stop or lock up.
No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs
An immobiliser for your car is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology that is used by billions of modern vehicles around the globe. Utilizing engine ECU software to prevent vehicles from starting if a false transponder signal is sent to it, an aftermarket immobiliser is a great way to protect your vehicle.
However, it can be simple for a burglar to get around an immobiliser system in the event that they have access the code that allows them to disable it. A burglar could easily remove the battery from most 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 blank. They will then be in a position to start your vehicle.
With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes needed. The immobiliser communicates with engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a discrete, silent CAN data circuit that is undetectable with diagnostic tools such as the ones used by high-tech thieves. It does not also use a traditional key-fob with LED indicators, which means it is able to go unnoticed in plain sight.
You may need to deactivate Autowatch's Ghost 2 auto protection at certain times, such as during valet parking or a service job. Ghost CAN immobilisers come with a feature called 'Service Mode,' which is activated with the push of a button on your phone. The vehicle can still be operated however its maximum speed will be limited to 36mph for added security.

Simple change of PIN code
Ghost is the latest generation of device that protects your vehicle without cutting wires or installing aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data network and a unique PIN code is programmed into it via buttons on your steering wheel and the dash. The device does not emit RF signals, so it is unable to be manipulated. This makes it undetectable by sophisticated scans using RF or code-grabbing technologies that modern thieves use.
The PIN code can be changed to lock out earlier drivers or include an override code if you forget the sequence. The installer will demonstrate 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 the garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without having to know the pin number. This is ideal for customers who want to hand over their vehicle for valet parking or service, but don't want divulge the pin sequence.
Unlike Thatcham products which 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. This sequence is entered via the app on your smartphone. No additional LED indicators are used, and your vehicle is secured without possibility of being disabled.
Every vehicle is tested
A ghost immobiliser, in contrast to key fobs that require pressing buttons, is hidden under the dash or on the steering wheel. You won't even know it's there. The device is connected to the CAN network in your vehicle and a PIN number can be programmed by using the buttons on your car. The system will then stop your engine from starting unless this code has been entered before. This means that thieves can't clone your car's existing keys or gain access to the OBD port to hack your vehicle.
Ghost can be fitted in any vehicle, including electric cars, vans motorhomes and bicycles. It is also extremely versatile and can be set to disable in various situations. For instance, it could be programmed to go into Valet mode when the vehicle is transported to a valet parking or service company. This permits you to drive your vehicle within a 30mph speed limit and the ghost immobiliser will start to activate itself when your vehicle is returned to your home.
The device can be reset at any time using your personal PIN number. This is beneficial in the event that you forget your code or the device becomes inoperable which means it's like new.
It's also important to note that the device is completely undetectable to anyone who isn't familiar with it. It does this by analyzing the buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard and then using the information it sends to determine the button that was hit. This makes it a completely secure and reliable security system that cannot be compromised by jamming, RF scanning, or door lock pick sets.
