Ghost Immobiliser 2
Protects your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving it with 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.
Unlike trackers Ghost does not transmit any radio frequency signals & can't be detected using diagnostics tools. It also has no indicators in the form of LEDs or buttons that give the impression of its presence in your van or car.
Anti-key cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was created to prevent key cloning. This device connects with your vehicle's data network CAN and creates a unique pin code using the factory buttons in your dashboard and steering. This stops the thief from being able start your vehicle. If the incorrect PIN is entered it will prevent the engine from starting, making it impossible for you to drive away with your joy and pride.
Ghost immobilisers are new technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to beat. Contrary to physical deterrents, such as wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut or jacked The ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that can't be recognized by ordinary thieves since it doesn't emit radio signals and operates in a silent manner.
This next generation immobiliser is capable of protecting your vehicle from a myriad of threats like keys that are duplicated, key-hacking, and even relay attacks. It also has the ability to stop the thief from adding a new key or replacing your ECU, as it will not allow the car to start without entering the correct PIN number first.
The ghost immobiliser 2 unlike other immobilisers does not require an external remote or key fob to operate. It can be deactivated from the driver's phone using a simple app. This is ideal the time you have to give your car to valet parking or maintenance without keys.
The Autowatch Ghost-II represents the latest version of the Ghost immobiliser. It was designed to be as simple and easy to use as is possible, yet remains as secure as ever. This is accomplished by connecting the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network, meaning there are no extra wires that could be concealed or easily discovered. It also comes with an inbuilt feature that lets users to deactivate their Ghost-II by simply connecting to the vehicle's Bluetooth, so you can get in and drive, hassle free.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the latest technique used by professional car thieves. Thieves have access to your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than an laptop, an app, 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 to tuning your car, or getting it stolen in less than a minute.
If you have a Ghost immobiliser, it can stop your car being stolen with this method by needing a unique PIN code sequence is entered alongside the fob of your key in order to start the engine and then drive away. It does this by communicating with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is indetectable to any code grabbing or RF scanning technology. It even has a Service/Valet mode which will allow your vehicle to be started without the need for a PIN.
You will also need a cable with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These cables can be found on Amazon/Ebay for around PS50. You will also need an OBD cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus. These can be found on Amazon/Ebay for around PS50. The next step is to connect the cable into the wiring harness of your vehicle for example, in the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has established a connection to your vehicles OBD port, they can send diagnostics requests to the system at high baud rates that can crash the CAN, and prevent systems within your vehicle from functioning. This can cause the engine to stop and doors to lock, or even the brakes to be engaged.
No remotes or keys required.
A car immobiliser is great piece of anti theft technology used by millions of modern vehicles all over the world. Using engine ECU software to prevent cars from starting if a fake transponder signal is transmitted to it, an aftermarket immobiliser is an excellent way to safeguard your vehicle.
However, it is easy for a thief to get around an immobiliser system if they have access to the code to deactivate it. The batteries in the majority of key fobs is easily removed by removing it, so a thief can use a simple tool to take out the immobiliser's circuit board and replace it with the blank. Then, they'll be able to start your vehicle.
The TASSA approved Ghost 2 is an immobiliser that doesn't require additional keys or remotes. The immobiliser is directly connected to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit).

It also doesn't use a traditional key-fob with LED indicators, meaning it's not visible at sight.
It is possible to disable Autowatch's Ghost 2 protection at certain times like valet parking or a service. Ghost CAN immobilisers come with a feature called "Service Mode,' which you can activate with the push of a button on your phone. The car is still operable however, the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.
If you'd like to know more about the TASSA accredited ghost immobiliser, please contact us today to book a demonstration in our workshop. A member of our team will explain the process and provide you with your Ghost 2 emergency card, installation certificate, and security assurance.
Simple change of PIN code
Ghost is the next-generation device that secures your car without cutting wires, or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network. A personal PIN can be programmed using buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The system stops engine start and can't be bypassed because no RF signals are emitted from the device. This makes it undetectable by sophisticated scanning or code grabbing technology that modern thieves employ.
The PIN code is able to be changed to block previous drivers, or even add an override number if you forget the sequence. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to do this. The system also comes with the valet mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence so that your mechanic or garage can fix the vehicle without needing to know the code. This is ideal for those who want to give their car to valet parking or service, but don't want give away the PIN sequence.
Ghost is a discrete system that uses the buttons on your vehicle to create a unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered through the app on your smartphone. There are no additional LED indicators are used, and your vehicle is secured without possibility of being disabled.
Tested for every vehicle
Unlike key fobs that require you to press buttons on them and a ghost immobiliser can be discreetly installed under the dash or steering wheel so that only you know that it's there. The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and the personalised PIN code is programmed into it using existing buttons on your vehicle. The system stops the engine from starting until the code has been entered before. This means that thieves cannot duplicate the keys on your car or access the OBD port to hack into your vehicle.
Ghost can be used in all vehicles, including electric cars motorhomes, vans, and bikes. It is also extremely versatile and can be set to disable in various situations. For instance, it can be programmed to go into Valet mode when the vehicle is transported to a valet parking or servicing company. This means that your car can be operated within a set 30mph speed limit and the ghost immobiliser will activate itself when it is returned to your property.
The device can also be reset at cost of ghost immobiliser any time to your personal PIN code. This is helpful when you forget the code or the device is inoperable, meaning that it's effectively as good as new again.
It's also worth noting that the device is undetectable to anyone who isn't familiar with it. It does this by analyzing the buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel, and using the data they transmit to identify which button was hit. This makes it a completely secure and reliable security option that can't be tampered with by jamming, RF scanning or door lock pick sets.
