Protect Your Car From Being Stolen With a Ghost Immobiliser

Many people put a lot of time and money into their cars. If they are stolen and subsequently lost, it is a disheartening incident.

Autowatch Ghost is a new generation device that can secure your vehicle without the need for alarms or immobiliser key fobs. It is connected to the Can data network of your vehicle. the pin code has to be entered to begin the car.

CAN Bus Immobiliser

Modern cars come with a range of systems that are all connected. To communicate with one another using an established system known as the Controller Area Network (CAN). The CAN bus is made up of multiple layers each with its own set of rules about what signals can be sent to which ECUs at the same time. This is the system that thieves use to gain access to vehicles and do whatever they want.

There are a number of ways to target the CAN that's why there are so many techniques used by car thieves. The "relay" method is perhaps the most successful. This is accomplished by sending a signal via the key to a transmitter that's inside the car, instructing it to open the doors and start up.

This method isn't 100% secure. It is possible to stop the relay attack by placing an electronic device between the car and its CAN system. This device will intercept signal from the CAN system and transmit its own spoofed message to another ECU on the vehicle's data bus. This trick will fool the other ECU into thinking that an authentic key exists and allow it to unlock and start the engine.

As a result, even the most sophisticated immobilisers can't stop this type of theft if thieves are able to override them. Car makers are presently working on innovative ways to protect cars from theft. One solution is to add more layers of security to the CAN system. This is costly and may not be universally effective.

Other solutions include tampering the hardware of the car by changing the firmware or installing aftermarket software. This can be a challenge to achieve without making the car less safe. Fortunately, an expert has discovered a way to safeguard against the most prevalent forms of theft from cars.

Dr Ken Tindell of Canis Automotive Labs recently published an article on his blog about his investigation into the reason his Toyota RAV4 was stolen at night. The solution turned out be a simple method that relies on the headlights of the vehicle. The wiring that connects the headlights to the CAN system could be easily accessed by a small tool by a thief.

No Key Fobs

Modern automobiles don't require a physical key to open the doors or turn on the engine. To do this, they use electronic fobs that emit signals. This method has led to a recent increase in thefts. Thieves utilize portable amplifiers to boost the signals of fobs, which allows them to gain access to vehicles and steal valuables.

This is an extremely risky and time-consuming process. This modification is also impossible for a criminal to spot since the Ghost does not transmit signals similar to other security devices.
