https://thehackernews.com/2018/07/bl...erability.html You don't need the app to hack it. In layman's terms a roll jam or 'man in the middle' attack could be implemented. Atop that it could be exploited while the car is powering down. Unless it is permanently in low energy state in which case a proximity attack is always possible. By making their product more convenient they have actually made it worse. If you can get one without BT then do it. |

You can have the Ghost set to allow the engine to be started without the PIN and the car will shut down if the transmission is put into D. Good for cold mornings if you want to warm the engine with the car locked.

The engine can only be started once without the PIN. Engaging D without the PIN causes the Ghost to send a signal to the ECU that the cat has been in a serious collision and to shut down the vehicle systems as a safety precaution. The engine cannot be restarted until the PIN has been entered. On the basis that my house is fully alarmed I think it's almost impossible that the keys could be stolen in the first place while I was asleep. If the car was already running in the drive, I'm already awake.

I highly doubt that this car is going to be written off. Instead, it's going to be recovered, forensically tested for who knows how long, assessed by the insurance company and in all likelihood deemed economically repairable (as most of the parts appeared to be with the car in the lock-up still), repaired and finally returned to the owner............to be swiftly sold or part exchanged by said owner (at his/her own considerable cost) because his pride and joy has been driven by some scrote who's possibly/probably driven it hard then taken a shit on the front seat for good measure This is why I'd rather prevent the car going in the first place and things like Ghost go a long way to helping with that aim, GAP is gonna be no use to you whatsoever when the car gets recovered and returned. |

I'm with you though .. while gap is good to have and I've taken it out myself, I would prefer not to have my car taken at all, so the ghost is about the best option. |

Yes agree with that thinking, in that I'd rather prevent it being taken in the first place, than try to recover once it's gone. The ghost install is not too expensive, and no ongoing costs like a good tracker.
I've got GAP, and that's there for peace of mind for much more than theft. You could easily be involved in an expensive collision for example. Current insurer hasn't mentioned needing a tracker, so I'm fairly settled on going for the Ghost system. Next job is to think about dashcams!

I occasionally forget the PIN before selecting D and the engine cuts out, as it should. Enter the PIN and the car can be started. As the Ghost is on the CAN bus it is interacting with the ECU, and the engine can be started after the PIN has been entered, - perhaps the code received by the ECU is temporary.

I guess 'recovery' have only one method that they use, and it isn't suitable for a car that could be resurrected. I.e. low loader and we'll stuff the loose parts into the interior for transport. Car was stolen via comfort access by the way, which could make a difference in how the car is processed. As they don't have the keys, the park it up and come back for it method is not an option. They drive them straight to a lock up with possibly a BMW tracking disablement en route. Good advert for the tracking device, as the thieves had tracker detection gear. Apparently, the tracker wakes up and pings then goes to sleep, so almost impossible to detect as it is not giving off signals constantly. It also has its own power source. Once the company know it has been stolen, they can escalate the pings frequency remotely and turn on RF. Clever stuff. |
