Protects your vehicle from key cloning & stopping thieves driving it with the keys you originally had. Our latest immobiliser is connected to the CAN data network in your vehicle and a unique PIN must be entered to begin the engine.
Contrary to trackers Ghost does not transmit radio frequency signals and cannot be detected using diagnostics tools. Ghost doesn't have LED indicators or buttons that would signal its presence in your vehicle or van.
Anti-key cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was created to prevent key cloning. This device connects to your vehicle's CAN data network and creates a unique pin code sequence that is activated by pressing the buttons from the factory on your dashboard as well as the steering wheel. This will stop the thief from being able to start your vehicle. If the incorrect PIN code is entered, your car cannot be started which makes it impossible for them to drive away with your pride and joy.
Ghost immobilisers use an innovative technology that is very difficult for thieves to beat. In contrast to physical deterrents such as wheel locks and steering locks that can be cut off or taken The ghost immobiliser is a discreet electronic device that isn't recognized by ordinary thieves because it doesn't emit any radio signals and is completely silent.
This next generation immobiliser is able to protect your car from a myriad of threats including key-hacking, cloned keys and relay attacks. It also has the ability to stop thieves from acquiring an additional key or replacing your ECU in the sense that it will not allow the vehicle to start without entering the correct PIN code before entering.
The ghost immobiliser 2, unlike other immobilisers does not require a remote control or key fob to operate. It is deactivable using an app that is installed on the smartphone of the driver.

It also comes with an inbuilt feature that allows you to disarm the Ghost-II simply by connecting it to your vehicle's Bluetooth.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the latest method employed by professional auto thieves to steal vehicles. Thieves can access your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than an laptop, an app, and a few cables that can be bought online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they are able to do whatever they want including resetting your vehicle's fault codes, tuning your car, or even taking it away within a matter of minutes.
It can protect your vehicle from being taken away by requiring a unique PIN sequence to be entered in conjunction with your key fob prior to you can start the engine or drive away. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) by using the CAN Data Circuit. It is not detected by any scanners for RF or code grabbing. It even comes with a Service/Valet option that allows your vehicle to start without the need for a PIN.
You'll also require cables with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These cables can be found on eBay or Amazon for around PS50. You'll also require a cable with OBD pins which are connected to the CAN bus. These are available on eBay and Amazon for around PS50. The cable has to ghost immobiliser fitting be connected to the wiring harness of your car, for example the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has access to the OBD port of your vehicle, they will send diagnostics to the system using high baud rates that will cause a crash of the car's CAN and prevent the system from functioning. This can cause the engine to stop, doors to lock and even the brakes to activate.
No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs
The car immobiliser is a great piece of anti-theft technology that is used by billions modern vehicles across the globe. An aftermarket immobiliser helps protect your vehicle by using engine ECU software that stops cars from starting when an untrue transponder signal is sent.
However, it can be easy for a thief 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 many key fobs by squeezing them open.

The immobiliser communicates with the vehicle's engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) through a discreet quiet data circuit in CAN that is undetectable with diagnostic tools, such as those employed by high-tech thieves. It doesn't include a traditional keyfob, which has an LED indicator, so it is invisible.
There will be instances when you need to deactivate Autowatch Ghost 2's auto-protection for example, when you are doing a valet parking or service job.

If you'd like to learn more about the TASSA certified ghost immobiliser, contact us now to schedule an appointment in our workshop. A member of our team will explain how the system works and provide you with your Ghost 2 emergency card, installation certificate, and security guarantee.
Simple PIN code Change Process
Ghost is a next-generation device that can secure your vehicle without cutting wires or installing aftermarket key fobs. It connects directly with the vehicle's CAN data network. A personalised PIN is programmed using buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The device does not emit RF signals, which means it is unable to be manipulated. This makes it undetectable by sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques that modern thieves employ.
The PIN code sequence can be changed anytime you want to block prior drivers, and it even has an override code in the event of a sequence that is not remembered. The installer will demonstrate the process to do this during installation. The system has a valet-mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that the mechanic or garage can service the vehicle without knowing the pin number. 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 car to create a unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. The sequence is entered using the smartphone application. There are no additional LED indicators are thrown out, and your car is secured without possibility of being disabled.
Every vehicle is tested
Contrary to key fobs which require you to press buttons on them, a ghost immobiliser is hidden under your dash or steering wheel so that you don't even know it's there. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network, and a personalised PIN code is programmed into it using buttons that are already present on your car. The system stops the engine from starting until the code has been entered prior to. This means that thieves can't copy the keys to your car or use the OBD to hack into it.
Ghost is a feature that can be found in any vehicle, including electric vehicles, motorhomes, vans and bicycles. It's also extremely versatile and can be programmed to turn off in various situations.
