It's The Ghost Immobiliser 2 Case Study You'll Never Forget

Ghost Immobiliser 2

Guards your vehicle from key cloning, and stops thieves from driving the vehicle using original keys. 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.

Ghost unlike trackers, does not emit radio frequency signals and can't be identified by diagnostic tools. Ghost doesn't have LED indicators or buttons to signal its presence in your vehicle or van.

Anti-key cloning

The Ghost immobiliser was designed to prevent key 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 steering wheel. This prevents the thief being able to start your vehicle. If the incorrect PIN is entered it will prevent your engine from running and making it impossible to leave with joy and pride.

A ghost immobiliser uses new technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to defeat. The ghost immobiliser is different from physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering lock that can be cut, is a discreet electronic device. It isn't identified by thieves since it emits no radio signals and is operated in a silent manner.



This next-generation immobiliser will protect your vehicle from a range of threats, including key-hacking relay attacks, key hacking and duplicate copies. It can also stop a thief adding a key or replacing your ECU since it will not allow them to start the car without first entering the correct PIN code.

In contrast to other immobilisers the ghost immobiliser 2 does not require any additional remote or key fobs in order to operate. It can be deactivated from the driver's phone with a simple application. This is ideal for the times you have to hand your car over for valet parking or for servicing without keys.

The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest evolution of Ghost immobiliser. It was designed to make it as simple and easy to use, while still being as secure as it can be. This is accomplished by integrating the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, which means there are no wires to hide or be easily located. It also comes with a built-in feature which allows you to deactivate the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to the vehicle's Bluetooth.

OBD port hacking

OBD port hacking is the latest method employed by professional car thieves to steal vehicles. Thieves have access to your vehicle's OBD by using the help of a laptop, mobile application, and cables that can be purchased online for less than PS50. Once  car ghost immobiliser  have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they are able to do whatever they like from resetting fault codes and tuning your car to taking away your pride and joy in just a few seconds.

It can protect your vehicle from being stolen by requiring a unique PIN number to be entered in conjunction with your key fob before you can start the engine or drive away. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) via the CAN Data Circuit. It is not detected by any scanners for RF or code grabbing. It has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code.

You'll also require an OBD cable that has OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for around PS50. You'll also require a cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN Bus. These cables can be bought on eBay or Amazon for PS50. The next step is to connect the cable into the wiring harness of your car, for example, in the radio wiring harness.

Once the hacker has established a connection to your vehicles OBD port, they can send diagnostics to the system at high baud rates which will crash the CAN and block systems in your car from functioning. This could cause the engine to stall and doors to lock, or even the brakes to be engaged.

No remotes or keys required.

The car immobiliser is a great piece of anti-theft technology utilized by millions of modern vehicles all over the world. Utilizing engine ECU software to stop cars from starting if a false transponder signal is sent to it an aftermarket immobiliser can be an excellent way to safeguard your vehicle.

However, it is easy for thieves to bypass an immobiliser system in the event that they have access the code that allows them to disable it. A thief could easily remove the battery from most key fobs by prying them open. They could then use an easy tool to remove the circuit board inside 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 needed. The immobiliser connects directly to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This is done via a discrete, quiet CAN data loop that is not detected by diagnostic tools, such as those used by high tech thieves. It does not include a traditional keyfob, which has an LED indicators, so it is invisible.

It is possible to disable Autowatch's Ghost 2 automatic protection at times like valet parking or a service. The ghost CAN immobiliser comes with a specific mode for this, called 'Service Mode' which is activated by pressing an app on your phone. The car is still operable, but the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.

Simple PIN code Change Process

Ghost is the latest generation of device that locks your car without cutting wires or installing aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a personalised PIN code is programmed into it using buttons on your steering wheel & the dash. The system stops engine start and can't be bypassed as no RF signals are generated from the device. This makes it inaccessible to sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques that modern thieves employ.

The PIN code sequence can be changed whenever you want to block prior drivers, and it even has an override option in the event of lost sequences. The installer will demonstrate the procedure to accomplish this during installation. The system also includes the option of a valet mode that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence to allow your garage or mechanic can fix the vehicle without needing to know the code. This is ideal for customers who want to give their vehicle for valet parking or service but still don't want to give away the PIN sequence.

Contrary to Thatcham products which require additional key fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system which takes advantage of the buttons in your vehicle to create a unique and interchangeable PIN code sequence. This sequence is entered using the smartphone app, meaning no extra LED indications are being thrown, and your vehicle is protected with no risk of being disabled by hackers or other technology.

Tested for each vehicle

A ghost immobiliser, unlike key fobs that require pressing buttons, is discreetly placed under the dash or steering wheel. Only you will know it's there. The device is connected to the CAN network in your vehicle and a PIN code can be programmed by using the buttons on your car. The system stops the engine from starting until the code is entered before. This means that thieves cannot duplicate the keys on your car or gain access to the OBD port to gain access to your vehicle.

Ghost is a feature that can be found in all vehicles, including electric vehicles, motorhomes, vans and bikes. It's also extremely versatile and can be programmed to shut down in various situations. It is possible to program it to enter Valet mode, for example when the vehicle is transported to a valet company or parking company. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a specified 30mph speed limit. The ghost immobiliser will be activated once it is returned to your possession.

The device can be reset at any time to your personal PIN code. This is useful if you forget the code or the device ceases to function and is as good as new again.

It's also important to note that the device is inaccessible to those who aren't familiar with it. This is because it runs through the buttons on your car's dashboard and steering wheel, and utilizes the information they send to recognise the buttons that have been hit. This makes it a safe and reliable security solution that can't be tampered with by RF scanning, jamming or door lock pick sets.
