Simple PIN code change process

With the increasing rate of vehicle theft, many owners are seeking to improve their security. There are a myriad of aftermarket security devices available from tracking systems to immobilisers and alarms. However, not all of these are equally efficient in protecting your vehicle. A tracking system may aid in finding your car if it is stolen, but it will not prevent the crime. An immobiliser, on the other hand is exactly what says on the tin: it shuts down the engine of your vehicle to prevent it from being started. The autowatch ghost installers birmingham (click to find out more) Ghost immobiliser is one of the most advanced options available on the market, making it nearly impossible for thieves to take your vehicle.

This can be accomplished by using the heater, window or indicator stalk buttons. In addition option, there is an app for mobile devices that can act as an emergency PIN code bypass and allow the driver to operate the car without the button sequence. This is a great solution for those who want to offer your car to valet parking or servicing. The immobiliser will stay active.

Weatherproof small device

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a high-tech security system that protects your pride & joy from key hacking and cloning. It also prevents ECU swapping. It is a small, weatherproof device that communicates with the ECU of your vehicle directly via the CAN bus to disable the motor. It can be plugged into the vehicle without the need for additional wiring and has been extensively tested to ensure it is compatible with all vehicles. It also is resistant to jamming devices, which are a common technique that car thieves use to get around immobilisers.

The advantage of using CAN data is that it operates in a silent manner in comparison to conventional systems. It isn’t detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing techniques and cannot be recognized by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost immobiliser near me doesn’t emit LED indications and uses the buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel or centre console panels to create a unique, customizable disarm sequence. You can even create a sequence that is as long as 20 presses to increase security. The iPhone app permits one, authorized connection with a pairing code that is unique to the Ghost and the communication between the two is encrypted.

The ghost alarm installation also prevents car thieves from using the key to a new car or replacing the ECU to bypass the immobiliser to start the engine. The engine can only be started when a valid PIN code is entered. It can be temporarily operated in Valet/Service mode (with the appropriate parameters, like a 30mph speed limit) which means you can give your car to an attendant or valet without needing to enter an entry code.

Tested for each vehicle

The Autowatch Ghost is the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that can be connected to the wiring of your vehicle and connects to your engine control unit (ECU). The device is able to intercept signals and stop your car from starting normally until you enter a customized code. The system can be activated and deactivated through your smartphone’s application without the need for wires.

The factory-installed immobilisers function by using a transponder that is embedded in the key. This sends a message to the ECU. If the correct code is sent, the car will start however, if the transponder is swapped with one from a different vehicle, the immobiliser will not recognise it. This allows the vehicle start and be stolen. The Ghost immobiliser has been developed by a South African company at the top of the line in vehicle security technology. It shields your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and even key theft. The only way that a burglar could steal your vehicle is physically towing it away and even then they wouldn’t be capable of driving it.

Ghost uses buttons on your vehicle, including the indicator stalk, steering wheel, as well as the door panels, to generate unique PIN codes that needs to be entered in order to use your car. This is done without extra hardware, such as key fobs. It can take up 20 to 20 presses. It is also unrecognizable by devices for diagnosis and transmits radio frequency signals, so thieves cannot make use of sophisticated RF scanners or code-grabbing techniques to determine if the system has been set up.

Ghost is more difficult to get rid of than car alarms, which require disarming using a series of buttons. This makes it an excellent alternative to a GPS tracker, which can help locate your car after it has been taken.

Emergency PIN code override

You do not have to look far on social media to find stories or videos about cars that have been stolen using the latest technology tools. This includes key-cloning devices and hacking tools that allow them to start the car without the original keys.

The Ghost immobiliser was specifically designed to prevent this, and give you an additional layer of security to prevent your vehicle from being targeted by thieves. It generates a unique pin code when pressing the buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and centre console. The unique pin code must be entered in conjunction with your original key fob in order to prevent the vehicle from starting. The unique PIN for override can be found on the black card that you will receive after installation. It is simple to remember as there are no LED indicators.

The device is hidden within the vehicle’s wiring and does not emit radio signals. Therefore, it cannot be detected using diagnostic software that can determine the type of security system you have installed. This makes it an excellent alternative to the tracking device.

In contrast to other security systems that rely on a relay located in the engine bays, CANBUS immobilisers communicate via CAN databus (brand dependent) with the ECU and BCM of the car. This enables them to shut down the vehicle completely with an electronic block of commands for both the ECU and the engine.

They can also be connected to a separate alarm immobiliser, tracker or alarm. This must be specified prior to the installation. They are also service/valet-mode compatible and are a great alternative to a tracker when you are taking your car in for repair at the dealership.

Service/Valet mode

In recent times, there has been an increase in vehicles being stolen without the owners keys.

It stops your vehicle from being driven even if you keys have been copied.

It communicates directly with your car’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) through the CAN data loop. It’s completely silent as it doesn’t utilize radio frequencies or keys fobs. It cannot be detected using diagnostics or any other hacking device. It also shields against the possibility of adding the key to a new one or replacing the ECU to bypass the system since only the correct PIN code will allow the engine to start.

The device is hidden within your car using existing buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console and door panels. A unique and reversible PIN code sequence up to 20 digits has to be entered before you are able to start your car.

This is the first aftermarket immobiliser CAN bus that has been developed that can prevent your car being started or driven away without a PIN code being entered before. If you are driving away with the device arming the indicator will flash on your dashboard and flash continuously for about 300m. Entering your PIN code will deactivate the anti-hijack. Your car will continue to run normally. If you do not enter your PIN code at this point, the indicator will continue to flash and will require another PIN code for every attempt to start your vehicle.
