Stop/Start

Ghost Immobilisers stop vehicles being stolen by preventing the engine from starting unless it receives the correct PIN code. This is accomplished without altering the vehicle, and is undetectable by thieves. The unit communicates with the ECU on the CAN data bus, which allows it to lock the vehicle. This system is like the one automobile manufacturers have been using in their vehicles for a long time however, the criminal can't add a new key or use key relay technology to bypass it, as they could with factory-installed systems.

Ghost Ghost can be fitted to any vehicle, van motorhome, caravan, or bicycle that has an engine. It is compatible with all the popular brands of vehicles. The same system is also compatible with electric vehicles. It is an excellent alternative to steering wheel locks and wheel clamps that can be installed with a minimum of effort.

If the Ghost is activated, it will block all buttons in your car, preventing the ignition being started without a PIN number. You can enter the code by hand or using the Android or Apple app. If a code that is incorrectly entered the app will show an indicator light and the Ghost will not allow the vehicle to be started again.

It is extremely easy to install and takes an average of 20-30 minutes for each vehicle. It is also easy to remove should you decide to change your vehicle or hand it in to valet parking or service. It is a TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) an insurance-approved system, and is recognized by some insurers. It also features a secure emergency Pin Code Override, and a Service/Valet mode that can be activated by pressing a button on the app or by using your key fob.

Disarm

Unlike the mechanical anti-theft devices, which can be removed, ghost immobilisers are hidden and integrated into the car. They are virtually impossible to hack or bypass and, even if they are discovered, thieves is unable to start the engine. Ghost immobilisers are able to prevent key cloning, as well as devices spoofing signals and signal jamming. These are the methods thieves use to gain access into cars with standard immobilisers.

The immobiliser sends a message to the ECU. If a wrong code is received, the vehicle cannot be launched as the engine won't start up. Although it is possible to disable the ghost immobiliser by using a software tool it how much is a ghost immobiliser lengthy and complicated. The software must be installed and operated by a authorised installer.

The Ghost immobiliser is a small device that is tucked away in the vehicles wiring loom and is invisible to the naked eye once installed. It is not visible on diagnostic systems, there are no LED indicators and it does not connect to the engine via the OBD port. It communicates in a silent manner via the CAN data circuit.

The system will not allow the vehicle to start unless it is given an input PIN code defined by the user. This can be entered using buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, or on the centre console. This is a more secure method of protecting your vehicle since it doesn't require the use of keys or a remote control.

In addition, Ghost has a service mode which can be activated using the application on your mobile phone. This allows you to give your keys to someone else for service or valet parking, without needing to enter an arm-disarm sequence.

Whether your Ghost is in service mode or not you should never attempt to remove the system by yourself as it can affect your engine and cause damage. It is recommended to contact a TASSA-verified installer who can safely and properly remove the system.

In the event that the system is removed and is sold on the black market, this will connect it back to its original owner.

Anti-Hijack

Ghost Immobiliser 2 has a highly effective anti-hijack function. This system functions as a smart key and is one of the most secure methods to protect your vehicle from thieves. The Ghost system will automatically switch on the hazard lights and stop the engine when the ignition is switched on and the vehicle is in a stationary position. This allows the driver or passenger time to press a security button (depending on the vehicle) before the system is activated and the engine is once again allowed to start.

The Ghost system, unlike many competitors, has an electronic timer and controller that will close the valve for shut-off of fuel 14 after a predetermined time. This happens regardless of whether the ignition remains on. This delay period must be sufficient to allow the owner of the vehicle to drive away and be a sufficient distance from the stalled car before the system is activated.

The Ghost comes with an additional level of security to prevent common hacking methods used to gain entry to modern cars, such as relay attacks and key range extending. The Ghost system communicates in a quiet manner and does not emit signals that can be snatched by thieves using code-grabbing technology or RF scanning.

The Ghost system features the valet or service mode which allows your vehicle to be temporarily started and driven, without the need for PIN code. This is ideal for parking your vehicle and have to leave it for a brief period of time, such as for instance, to put your items in the boot, open a garage door. The system will end service mode based on speed and time or by using the easy PIN code entry procedure and give you assurance that only YOU are able to use your vehicle!

Keyless Entry

Many customers are now seeking additional security measures due to the increasing trend of contactless car theft. This is especially applicable to those who have invested time or money in personalizing their vehicles and own expensive or rare vehicles. An add-on immobiliser can be an effective way to avoid this kind of theft since it can stop your vehicle from starting unless the right pin code is entered alongside your key fob.

Immobilisers are made to block various vehicle circuits such as ones that control the starter motor and the fuel pump. They also are able to shut off the car alarm in order to draw attention and scare off any potential thieves.

These devices communicate directly with the engine control unit using the CAN data network. They stop the thief from gaining access to it by installing a new ECU or using key programmers. These immobilisers are installed discretely inside your vehicle, leaving no trace and are totally inaccessible to the tools sophisticated thieves use.

As opposed to other systems that require a specific application, or a tag to be carried on the person of the driver and a Ghost immobiliser is only disarmed by pressing a pattern of the existing electronic buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and centre console, allowing you to select a customized pin sequence. The pin can be easily changed, making the device as secure as a bank card. It's also more difficult to crack because it takes up to 20 presses.

Ghost also offers Valet/Service mode, which permits you to deactivate it if you are going to hand over your vehicle to valet parking or service. This allows the system to operate within the parameters such as a 30 mph speed limit. It is then reactivated by using the original key or the appropriate entry code.
