TASSA Approved
The brand new TASSA verified Ghost-II CAN immobiliser from Autowatch is a revolutionary device that was designed to tackle the latest car criminality trends, such as key hacking and cloning. The smart system is connected directly to the CAN network of your vehicle, preventing it from being turned on or driven in the event that you don't have the right code. The system is completely undetectable and does not utilize radio frequencies or an electronic key fob, rather it lets you create an individual PIN sequence using existing buttons in your vehicle, like the ones on your dashboard or steering wheel, which you can change at any time. The PIN can be up to 20 times long for maximum security. A secure emergency code is also provided.
The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network in order to determine when the PIN is entered. This then sends a message to the vehicle which disables the ignition and engine, and shuts down critical components like the starter motor and fuel pump. The system also provides the option of a "valet mode" that allows you to turn off the system and prevent your car from being driven by valets or service centre personnel who do not have the correct key.
The Ghost device is distinct from traditional immobilisers that can be disabled with professional diagnostic tools. It makes use of the onboard network to communicate with ECUs and cannot be altered. It's a sealed device, so it's impossible to monitor the circuits. This makes it nearly impossible for thieves to hear the distinctive click sound that traditional immobilisers relays produce.
This technology is not vulnerable to jamming tools used by high-tech thefts and is not detected by other diagnostic tools because it uses the CAN data networks. This makes it an ideal anti-theft option for any modern vehicle.
