Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving it with your original keys. Our most recent immobiliser is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and a unique PIN has to be entered in order to start the engine.
Ghost, unlike trackers, does not emit radio frequency signals, and therefore cannot be detected by diagnostic tools. There are also no indicators in the form of LEDs or buttons that give the impression of its presence in your car or van.
Anti-key cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was developed to prevent key cloning. This device connects with your vehicle's CAN data network and creates a unique pin code using the factory buttons on your dashboard and steering. This prevents the thief being able to start your vehicle. If the wrong PIN code is entered, the engine cannot be started and it will be impossible for them to leave with your joy and pride.
A ghost immobiliser uses an innovative technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to beat. The ghost immobiliser, unlike physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering locks that are able to be cut, is a discrete electronic device. It isn't identified by thieves since it doesn't emit radio signals and operates silently.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your car from a variety of threats, such as key-hacking relay attacks, key-hacking, and duplicate copies. It can also stop the thief from adding a key or replacing your ECU because it won't permit them to start the car without first entering the correct PIN code.
Contrary to other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 does NOT require any additional key fobs or remotes to operate. It is deactivable using an app that is installed on the smartphone of the driver. This makes it perfect for those occasions when you have to give your car over for valet parking or maintenance without the key fobs.
The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest evolution of our ground-breaking ghost immobiliser. It is designed to be as simple and easy to use as is possible, yet remains as secure as ever. ghost ii immobiliser is done by integrating the Ghost-II into the vehicle's data network CAN, meaning that there are no wires to hide or easily identified. It comes with built-in features that allow you to deactivate the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to your vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the newest method being used by professional car thieves to steal cars. Thieves can gain access to your vehicle's OBD using an laptop, mobile application, and a few cables that are available online for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they will be able to do whatever they like, from setting fault codes, and tuning your car to stealing your pride and joy in under a minute.
If you have a Ghost immobiliser installed, it will protect your vehicle from theft using this method, by making sure that a unique PIN sequence is entered on the fob of your key in order to start the engine and then drive away. It does this by interacting with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is totally undetectable to any scan or code grabbing technology. It has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start with no PIN code.
You will also need cables with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for around PS50. You will also need a cable with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay for around PS50. You then need to splice the cable into the wire harness of your car for example, the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has access to the OBD port on your vehicle, they can send diagnostics to the system using high baud rates, which will crash the car's CAN and stop the systems from working. This can cause the engine to stall or even lock doors, and even the brakes to engage.
No remotes or keys required.
The car immobiliser is a great piece of anti-theft technology utilized by millions of modern cars across the globe. Utilizing engine ECU software to stop cars from starting if a false transponder signal is detected by it, an aftermarket immobiliser is an excellent way to safeguard your vehicle.
It is possible for a criminal to know the code to deactivate an immobiliser, and bypass it. The battery in most key fobs can be removed by removing it, so a thief can use a simple tool to remove the immobiliser's inner circuit board and replace it with a blank. Then, they will be able to start your car.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that does not require any additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser connects to the vehicle's engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a subtle quiet data circuit in CAN that is unnoticeable with diagnostic tools, such as those used by high-tech thieves. It also does not make use of a traditional key-fob that has LED indicators, meaning it is able to go unnoticed at sight.
You may have to turn off Autowatch's Ghost 2 protection at certain times like valet parking or during a service. Ghost CAN immobilisers have a mode called "Service Mode,' which you can activate with the push of a button on your phone. The car is still operated, but its maximum speed will be restricted to 36mph for greater security.

Simple process to change the PIN code
Ghost is a next-generation device that can secure your vehicle without cutting wires or adding aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly with the vehicle's CAN data network. A personal PIN can be created using buttons on the steering wheel and dash. The system prevents engine start and cannot be bypassed as no RF signals are generated from the device. This makes it inaccessible to sophisticated scans using RF or code-grabbing technologies that modern thieves use.
The PIN code can be altered to block earlier drivers or include an override code in case you forget the sequence. The installer will show you the process to do this during installation. The system has a valet-mode feature that allows you 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 those who do not want their pin number to be disclosed, but wish to leave their car with valet parking or service.
In contrast to Thatcham products that require additional key-fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that makes use of the buttons in your vehicle to create an unique and interchangeable PIN code sequence. The sequence is entered via the app for smartphones, meaning no extra LED indications are thrown and your car is protected with no risk of being blocked by hackers or other technology.
Tested for every vehicle
In contrast to key fobs that require you to press buttons, a ghost immobiliser is hidden under your steering wheel or dash so that only you know that it's there. The device is connected to the car's CAN data networks and a personalised PIN code is programmed into it by using the buttons already on your vehicle. The system won't permit your vehicle to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves are unable to clone your car's existing keys or access the OBD port to gain access to your vehicle.
Ghost is a great option for all vehicles, including electric cars motorhomes, vans, and bicycles. It's also extremely flexible and can be programmed to deactivate in various scenarios. It can be programmed to enter Valet mode, for example when your vehicle is transported to a valet company or parking company. This allows you to drive within a 30mph speed limit, and the ghost immobiliser will start to activate itself when your vehicle is returned to your home.
Another great feature is that the device can be reset to your personal PIN code at any point. This is beneficial when you forget the code or the device becomes inoperable and is as good as new again.
It is also unnoticed by anyone who doesn't know about it is. This is because it runs through the buttons on your car's dashboard and steering wheel, and uses the data they transmit to identify which button has been hit. This makes it a safe and secure security system that can't be manipulated through RF scanning or jamming, or door lock pick set.
