Protect Your Car From Being Stolen With a Ghost Immobiliser
Many people put a lot of time and money in their vehicles. So when they get stolen, it's an incredibly troubling experience.
Autowatch Ghost is the latest generation of vehicle security devices that eliminates the need for keys for alarms and immobilisers. It is connected to the vehicle's Can data network. Additionally, a personalised pin code is encoded into the device. This pin code must be entered in order to start the engine.
CAN Bus Immobiliser
Modern automobiles have a variety of different systems that are connected together. They use a standard communication system known as the Controller Area Network. The CAN bus is made up of multiple layers, each with its own set of rules regarding the types of signals that can be transmitted to which ECUs at any one time. This is the system that thieves use to gain access to vehicles and do anything they need to do.
There are a few ways to take on the CAN system, which is why car thieves have so many different tricks up their sleeves. The'relay' attack is probably the most successful. This works by transmitting an electronic signal from the car's ignition to an external transmitter, telling it to start the engine and open the doors.
However, this method isn't 100% infallible. It is possible to stop a relay attack by putting an electronic device between the car and its CAN system. This device will intercept signal from the CAN system and then send its own spoofed message to an ECU on the vehicle's data bus. This device tricked the ECU into thinking that a valid, working key is present. It will then open and start the vehicle.
Even the most sophisticated immobilisers will not stop this type theft when thieves are able to get around them. Therefore, car manufacturers are trying to find new ways of protecting vehicles against them. One solution is to bolster the security of the CAN system by adding additional layers. This can be costly and may not be universally effective.
Other solutions include tampering the hardware of the car by changing its firmware or adding aftermarket software. But this can be hard to achieve without making the vehicle less safe. A seasoned expert has come up with how to shield your vehicle from the most frequent types of theft.

The solution was an easy trick that relied on the vehicle's headlights. The wiring connecting the headlights to the CAN system can be easily accessed using a small tool by a thief.
No Key Fobs
Modern cars no longer need keys to open the doors or start the engine. To accomplish this, they utilize electronic fobs that emit a signal. There's been a recent increase in thefts using this method, with thieves using portable amplifiers to boost the signals of the fobs in order to gain access to vehicles and then steal valuables inside.

A thief could also try to remove the ECU and replace it with a new one in place of the original, but this would require cutting wires and removing components from the dashboard. This is an arduous and risky task. The Ghost's modification is also difficult to be detected by a burglar, as the Ghost does not transmit any signals similar to other security devices.
