Ghost Immobiliser 2
Secures your vehicle from key cloning and stops thieves from driving it with the keys you originally had. Our latest immobiliser connects to your vehicles CAN data network & a unique PIN code must be entered for the engine to start.
Ghost, unlike trackers, does not emit radio frequency signals and cannot be identified by diagnostic tools. There are also no indicators in the form of LEDs or buttons that give away its presence within your vehicle or van.
Anti-key Cloning
The ghost immobiliser was designed to stop key cloning and hacking. 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 stops the thief from being able start your vehicle. If the incorrect PIN code is entered, the engine isn't able to start which makes it impossible for them to leave with your joy and pride.
A ghost immobiliser is a new technology that is extremely difficult for thieves to beat. Unlike physical deterrents like wheel locks and steering locks which can be cut or taken, the ghost immobiliser is a discrete electronic device that cannot be detected by common thieves since it doesn't emit radio signals and operates in a silent manner.
The next-generation immobiliser protects your vehicle from a range of threats, including key hacking relay attacks, key-hacking, and cloned copies. It also has the ability to stop the thief from adding a new key or replacing your ECU by ensuring that it does not allow them to start your car without entering the correct PIN code first.
Contrary to other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 doesn't require any additional remote or key fobs for operation. It is deactivable through an app that is installed on the smartphone of the driver. This makes it ideal for the times you need to hand your car to valet parking or maintenance without key fobs.
The Autowatch Ghost-II is the latest version of our groundbreaking ghost immobiliser. It is designed to be as easy and convenient to use as possible, but remains as secure as ever. This is accomplished by linking the Ghost-II with the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that there are no extra wires that can be hidden or easily discovered. It also comes with an inbuilt feature that lets you to disarm your Ghost-II by connecting it to the vehicle's Bluetooth which means you can get in and drive, hassle free.
OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the latest method being used by professional car thieves to steal cars. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD port with no more than an laptop, an app and a few cables, which can be purchased online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they will be able to do anything they like, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes, tuning your car, or taking it away in less than a minute.
It can protect your vehicle from being taken away by requiring a unique PIN sequence to be entered along 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. This is undetectable by any scanners for RF or code grabbing. It comes with a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code.
You'll also require a cable with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus. These cables can be found on eBay and Amazon for around P50. You'll also require cables with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus, these can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay for about PS50. Then, you need to splice the cable into the wiring harness of your vehicle for example, in the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has gained access to the OBD port of your vehicle, they are able to send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rate, which will crash the car's CAN and stop the system from functioning. This can cause your car's engine to stall or shut down.
No need to purchase additional remotes or key fobs
The car immobiliser is a great piece of anti-theft technology utilized by millions of modern cars across the globe. An aftermarket immobiliser safeguards your vehicle with engine ECU software that prevents cars from starting when a false transponder is transmitted.
It is possible for a criminal, if they know the code to deactivate an immobiliser, and bypass it. A thief could easily take the battery off of most key fobs by squeezing them open. They could then employ an instrument 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 required. The immobiliser connects to the vehicle's engine ECU (Engine Control Unit) via a subtle, silent CAN data circuit that is not detectable by diagnostic tools such as the ones employed by high-tech thieves. It also does not use a traditional key-fob with LED indicators, so it is able to go unnoticed at sight.
It is possible to disable Autowatch's Ghost 2 automatic protection at certain times, such as during valet parking or during a service. The ghost CAN immobiliser comes with a specific mode for this, called 'Service Mode that is activated by pressing an app on your smartphone. The car is still operable however the maximum speed is limited to 36mph.

Simple change of PIN code
Ghost is the next-generation device that protects your car without cutting wires, or installing aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicles CAN data network and a unique PIN code is programmed into it via buttons on your steering wheel and the dash. The system prevents engine start and cannot be re-enabled since no RF signals are emitted from the device. This makes it undetectable by sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing techniques that modern thieves employ.
The PIN code can be altered to block previous drivers or even include an override code if you forget the sequence. The installer will demonstrate how to do this during installation. The system has a valet-mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that the mechanic or garage can service the vehicle without knowing the pin number. This is a great option for customers who don't want their PIN sequence to be divulged, but would like to leave their vehicle with valet parking or service.
Ghost is a discrete system that uses the buttons on your vehicle to create an unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. The sequence is entered via the app on your smartphone, which means there are no additional LEDs displayed and your vehicle is protected with no risk of being blocked by hackers or other technology.
Every vehicle is tested
Contrary to key fobs which require you to press buttons the ghost immobiliser is discreetly installed under the dash or steering wheel so that only you know it's there. The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN network and a PIN number can be programmed using buttons on your vehicle. The system won't allow your vehicle to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves cannot duplicate the keys on your car or access the OBD port to gain access to your vehicle.
Ghost is a great option for all vehicles that use electric vehicles, vans, motorhomes and bikes. It is also extremely versatile and can be programmed to turn off in various situations. For instance, it could be set to enter Valet mode when the vehicle is being taken to a valet park or servicing company. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a specified 30mph speed limit, and the ghost immobiliser will reactivate itself when it is returned to your possession.
The device can be reset at anytime to your personal PIN number. This is useful if you forget the code or the device becomes inoperable and is as good as new again.
It's also important to note that the device is unnoticeable 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 it sends to determine the exact button that was pressed. This makes it a safe and reliable security system that cannot be tampered by RF scanning or jamming, or door lock pick set.
