OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the most recent method employed by professional car thieves. Thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD with the help of a laptop, mobile app, and some cables that can be bought online for less than PS50. Once they have access to your vehicle's OBD port, they can do whatever they like, from setting fault codes, and tuning your vehicle to taking your joy and pride away in less than a minute.
It can prevent your car from being stolen by requiring a specific PIN sequence to be entered with your key fob prior to you can start the engine or leave. It does this by interacting with the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) on the CAN Data circuit and is indetectable to any scan or code grabbing technology. It also has a Service/Valet mode which will allow your vehicle to be started without the need for a PIN code.
You'll also require an OBD cable that has OBD pins that are connected 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 can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay for about PS50. You then need to splice the cable into the wire harness of your vehicle, for example, in the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has a connection to your vehicles OBD port, they are able to send diagnostics to the system at a high baud rate which will crash the CAN, and prevent systems within your vehicle from functioning. This could cause the engine to stall or even lock doors, and even the brakes to activate.
No remotes or keys required.
The car immobiliser is a fantastic piece of anti-theft technology that is utilized by millions of modern vehicles across the globe. Utilizing engine ECU software to stop cars from beginning if a false transponder signal is sent to it an aftermarket immobiliser is a great way to protect your vehicle.

If you'd like more information about the TASSA accredited ghost immobiliser, please contact us today to arrange a demonstration in our workshop. A member of our team will explain how the system works and will give you a Ghost 2 emergency card, installation certificate, and security assurance.
Simple process to change the PIN code
Ghost is the latest generation of device that protects your car without cutting wires or installing key fobs from an aftermarket. It connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data network, and a unique PIN code is programmed into it by pressing buttons on your steering wheel & dash. The device doesn't emit RF signals, therefore it cannot be bypassed. This makes it difficult to be detected using sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing techniques used by modern thieves.
The PIN code sequence can be altered anytime you want to lock out previous drivers. It even comes with an override option in the event of lost sequences. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to accomplish this. The system also has the option of a valet mode that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence so that your mechanic or garage can service the car without having to know the pin code. This is a great option for customers who don't want their pin number to be revealed but still want to leave their car with valet parking or service.
Unlike Thatcham products that require additional key-fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that makes use of the buttons on your car to create a unique interchangeable PIN code sequence. The sequence is entered via the app on your smartphone, which means no extra LED indications are displayed and your vehicle is protected with no risk of being disabled by hackers or any other technology.
Every vehicle is tested
In contrast to key fobs that require you to press buttons, a ghost immobiliser is hidden under the dash or steering wheel so that only you know it's even there. The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and the personalised PIN code is programmed into it by using the buttons already on your car. The system will not allow your vehicle to start until this code is entered. This means that thieves are unable to clone the keys of your vehicle or gain access to the OBD to hack into it.
Ghost can be used in all vehicles that use electric vehicles motorhomes, vans, motorhomes and bicycles. Ghost is also extremely flexible and can be set to disable in a variety of situations. For instance, it can be set to enter Valet mode when the car is taken to a valet park or a service provider. This means that your vehicle can be operated within a set 30mph speed limit. The ghost immobiliser will be activated once it is returned to your property.
The device can be reset at anytime to your personal PIN number. This is great if you lose the code, or in the event that the device becomes unusable.
It's also worth noting that the device is undetectable to anyone who isn't familiar with it. This is due to it running through existing buttons on your car's dashboard and steering wheel, and uses the data they send to identify the buttons that have been hit. This makes it a safe and reliable security system that cannot be altered by RF scanning or jamming, or a door lock pick set.
