Watch Out: How Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation Is Taking Over And What You Can Do About It

Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation Ghost immobilisers are a recent technology in vehicle security. They are groundbreaking in the way they protect your car from hacking, key-cloning and even wheel jacking. The system requires the correct PIN code in order to start your car. This is accomplished by pressing the buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel. TASSA Approved The brand new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device designed to combat recent car crime trends, including key cloning and hacking. This sophisticated system can connect directly to your vehicle's CAN data network, stopping your vehicle from being started or driven without the proper code. The system is completely undetectable and does not use radio frequencies or key fobs. Instead, it lets you create a unique sequence of PINs by using buttons on your dashboard or the steering wheel, which you are able to modify at any point. The PIN can be as long as up to 20 presses long for maximum security. A secure emergency code is also provided. The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to identify when the PIN is entered. This then sends a signal to the vehicle, which disables the ignition and engine, as well as shutting off critical components like the starter motor and fuel pump. The system also has valet mode, allowing you to deactivate the system and prevent your car from being driven by valets or service center personnel who do not have the correct key. The Ghost device is different from conventional immobilisers, which can be deactivated by using professional diagnostic tools. It uses the onboard network to communicate with ECUs, and it cannot be tampered. It's a sealed device, which means it is inaccessible to access the circuits, which makes it virtually impossible for thieves to detect the clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays produce. This technology is not vulnerable to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves. Additionally, because it is based on the CAN data network, it's undetectable to any other diagnostic tools. This means it's an ideal anti-theft solution for any modern vehicle.

Insurance Approved The Ghost is a security gadget installed aftermarket to protect against the types of thieves interested in stealing vehicles. It stops the engine from starting when a certain sequence of buttons is pressed. The only person who can know the sequence is you. If your vehicle is stolen the thieves won't be able to start it, and will leave your vehicle in peace in fear. The ghost also features silent mode, that will shut down the vehicle when it's not being used and can be turned off by the press of a button. The system is TASSA (Tracker and Aftermarket security systems association) insurance approved, meaning it will be recognised by some insurance companies as an additional security feature on your vehicle. It can be added alongside other Thatcham approved security measures like trackers to protect your vehicle from being stolen and also gives you peace of mind. The system also communicates with the ECU of your vehicle via the CAN data loop, which is completely inaudible to diagnostic tools. The Ghost cannot be tampered with by a criminal simply by inserting a new key to the vehicle or replacing the ECU. The system will only start your vehicle if you enter the correct pin code. This unique PIN is only known to you and is able to be changed at any time. The Ghost is a discreet immobiliser that can be added to the majority of vehicles without the need for wiring or the addition of aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a personalised PIN code of your choice is programmed into it using the buttons on the steering wheel and dashboard. This code will stop the vehicle from starting until the correct sequence is chosen first. In the event that the code is guessed there are emergency codes that can be reset using your mobile phone. In addition to this it is possible to use an easy-to-use application available for iOS and Android that minimises the need to enter your pin on every occasion, providing even more security that is hassle-free. The shrewd In contrast to the GPS tracker that only aids in locating your vehicle after it's stolen, an immobiliser system stops the vehicle from being stolen in the first place. TheKeyLab is achieved by preventing the engine from running until the correct code is retrieved from the key fob or an app downloaded onto the smartphone. This is the best way to prevent wheel jacking and other thefts since the thief will be forced to leave your car alone or risk getting caught. The ghost immobiliser, which is a tiny weatherproof device, is tucked away into the wiring harness of your car. It connects to the CAN data network and is hidden away so thieves can't detect it or disarm it through simple wire cutting. The system also comes with a service mode which can be turned on so that your garage can work on your vehicle without needing to know the passcode required for it to begin. Once the device is installed in your vehicle, it can be disarmed and armed using an app on your smartphone. You can alter the PIN code at any time you want to ensure that you're the only person who has access to your car. This is beneficial when you are planning to sell your car in the future in order to increase the resale price. The Ghost immobiliser also has a great feature: it is discreet and won't leave any marks on the inside body of your vehicle which makes it a great accessory to any car. It's easy to install, works quietly and won't disrupt any other systems in your car. An immobiliser that is discreet will improve the look and feel your car. This is especially appealing to those who use their cars to transport valuable items, since it can deter any potential thieves from targeting them. The ghost immobiliser works together with other anti-theft technology like trackers to provide unrivalled security for your car. Low Maintenance Ghost immobilisers function by connecting directly to the CAN data network. They are virtually undetectable, as they don't use LED indicators or additional key fobs. It doesn't emit radio signals, and is silent, meaning that thieves won't hear it. The device can be concealed in a variety of locations (even underneath the floor mats) and is a great option for those who wish to protect their car without compromising on aesthetics. This device stops you from starting your car unless you enter an individual password. This is done using a combination of buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel in a particular sequence. This will stop hackers from cloning or hacking into your system, and stop them from starting the vehicle. Thieves can also attempt to increase your signal to gain access to your vehicle, however the Ghost will detect this and prevent your car from starting until you enter the correct sequence of disarming. The Ghost is distinct from other security systems which can be activated using the incorrect code. It will continue to block your car from starting until you enter the correct passcode. The Ghost will remain in service mode until you switch it back into “service” which is activated by pressing the same button combination that you used to arm it (this can be done when you visit your dealer for maintenance or warranty work). This is to stop it from being taken off by unauthorised persons and to ensure it is rearmed when required. If you decide to switch vehicles in your ownership it is possible to transfer the Ghost to the new vehicle provided the new vehicle is compatible. The latest Ghost also comes with QR finger print stickers that connect to the International Security Register, meaning that should your Ghost is stolen for parts, it will be traced back to you and your vehicle. This will deter criminals from stealing vehicles fitted with Ghost as they will know that the vehicle is secure and they will be at risk of being arrested and caught.
