Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning & door lock picking. It uses the factory buttons on your vehicle (such as the steering wheel control, centre console, and door panel) to create a unique pin code push.
This makes it nearly impossible to determine the sequence so that the vehicle cannot be started or driven away. Additionally, it stops signal jamming & device spoofing.
No Key Fobs or LED Signs
Car theft is a massive issue with a lot of thieves targeting vehicles with no keys. If they can intercept the signal from your car keys or even copy your key fob they could use it to begin your vehicle and then drive away with it. This is why it's a great idea to have an immobiliser added to your car or van. It's a simple device that stops the engine from starting without a key or an immobiliser code. There are many kinds of immobilisers available on the market. Some are designed to be hidden in your vehicle while others are weatherproof and can be placed in a location that is more noticeable.
One of the most effective and most well-known types is a Ghost immobiliser. It is an weatherproof device that connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It functions in a similar manner as your key fob, but does not have any LED indicators or even an indicator on the steering wheel to signal its presence. It sits within your vehicle or van and is in direct communication with the ECU.
The system is also tamperproof, which means it is impossible for a criminal to remove or modify the ghost unit. The system is also tamper-proof, which means that thieves cannot take away or alter the Ghost unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser is an excellent solution as it protects your van or car from hacking, key cloning and key theft. This is accomplished by using a pin code that only you are aware of. You choose a disarm sequence that you can set yourself and can be as long or as short as you want. Then, you enter it into the Ghost app on your smartphone when you are driving. The system can be transferred to a different vehicle if you switch cars throughout the life of owning it.
These systems are often linked to the OBD port which allows them to recognize your key fob or key. Hi-tech thieves, however, have discovered ways to hack these systems to start the vehicle, even if keys are not present. It is for this reason that it's recommended to install a ghost immobiliser. The device will be able to stop your Mercedes from starting unless an exact PIN code push sequence is entered. This can be set by you, and is only known to you and your installer.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser stops your vehicle from starting if you don't enter the correct pin code. It's designed to protect your vehicle from key cloning as well as other common kinds of theft.
Ghost immobilisers operate quietly and slyly over the CAN data network, in contrast to other security systems equipped with key fobs or LED indicators. This means that thieves are unable to detect a ghost immobiliser, even if they use advanced scans using RF or code-grabbing technologies.
The device sits in the engine bay, connected to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It is able to communicate with factory buttons in your vehicle and allows you to design a unique sequence of buttons to start your car. This can be entered via the steering wheel or door ghost immobiliser, tracker panels, or even the centre console. It can be changed at any time and can include up to 20 numbers in the PIN.
Modern vehicles are stuffed with CAN bus data, which means thieves can use different methods to hack your car and disable security systems. One of these methods is through the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port. With the right tools thieves are able to access the OBD port of your car and utilize a laptop to disable your car's alarm and then code a new key, then drive away. This kind of hack is highly effective and can be completed within minutes.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. This system cannot be detected by vehicle diagnostics and also there aren't radio waves. It's nearly impossible for thieves find it and alter it. The ghost is also resistant to jamming devices which can be used to disable other security systems within your car.
Another excellent feature of the ghost is the ability to switch it into Service mode, enabling you to turn your vehicle over to valet parking or servicing without giving anyone keys or buttons. The ghost will then exit Service mode depending on the speed and time, or by entering the pin code that you have set up. This is a great way to protect your vehicle from high-tech car thieves while working or on vacation.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser is an CAN bus device, which means it sits within the vehicle's CAN data networks so it isn't detected by any diagnostic tools that thieves use to scan & hack into modern cars. It doesn't transmit radio signals, such as trackers, and therefore isn't able to be detected by anyone except you or your certified installer.
Contrary to other car security systems that rely on LED indicators or key fobs the Ghost immobiliser works by utilising the buttons already in your vehicle (either the steering wheel or the dashboard, or door locks) to create a unique sequence of disarming that you choose. The sequence can be adjusted to any length you wish and must be entered before the J can be driven.
You can change your PIN at any time, making sure that even if you hand someone else your keys or forget your PIN for a day or two your car is still secure. This is particularly important when you drop your car off for service or cleaning, or if you have to take it to local garages for repairs. You can still drive your vehicle without worrying about a criminal stealing it.
The smart thief proof technology in the Ghost device is a real game changer and makes it a fantastic alternative to traditional physical deterrents, such as a steering wheel lock or wheel clamp. The fact that it does not depend on any external components or emit any signal makes it much more difficult to thwart than any other immobiliser available today.
We do not recommend altering the CAN data wiring in any way. It is essential that you use an TASSA registered Ghost Installations team to complete your installation. Our team are fully qualified and insured, giving you assurance that your new Ghost Car Security system is an authentic Tassa approved product.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser to secure your Lexus. It guards against key-cloning hacking as well as theft. It creates an unobtrusive pin code push sequence that uses the original buttons of your vehicle. Only you are able to start your vehicle. The system is fully concealed, sealed and tucked into the vehicles harness making it completely undetectable to thieves. If a thief did manage to gain access they would be unable to driving away by speed or entering the PIN code. You can also switch it into service mode to temporarily begin and drive your car. This is done via the app or the Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and is able to be removed at any time.
Key cloning online is widespread and allows thieves to steal cars without even having the original keys. Installing ghost immobiliser problems is essential especially if your car is expensive.
A ghost immobiliser is different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. The standard factory-fitted immobilisers utilize chips inside the ECU to communicate with a key or fob and allow the car to start. Ghost immobilisers prevent this by adding an additional layer of security to your vehicle, making it impossible to start the engine without having a unique pin number or code sequence being entered. This also stops hacking, device spoofing and signal jamming which are all methods that could be used to unlock a normal immobiliser that is fitted by the manufacturer.
The best thing about ghost immobilisers is that it is near impossible to bypass or hack. This is due to the fact that it is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a way that it is not visible to thieves. This is an advantage, as it prevents a stolen vehicle from being driven again because it won't start.
This will also prevent the towing of a vehicle since the Ghost will automatically lock once it reads that trigger speed of zero miles per hour. This is a great benefit, since it stops thieves from being in a position to take your ghost and take away your car.
