Ghost 2 Immobiliser Problems

It is designed to safeguard vehicles from key cloning and hacking to protect them from key cloning and hacking, the Ghost 2 immobiliser is a discrete device that is able to be installed without damaging your vehicle. It prevents your vehicle from starting unless you enter the correct sequence of buttons within your vehicle similar to a password on the phone.

Stop/Start

Ghost immobilisers stop vehicles from being stolen by stopping the engine from running until it receives the right PIN code. This is accomplished without any modifications to the vehicle, and is completely undetectable by thieves. The unit communicates directly with the ECU via the CAN databus in order to disable the vehicle. This system is very similar to the one that automobile manufacturers have used in their cars for many years, however, the thief cannot add a new key or use key relay technology to bypass it as they can with factory fitted systems.

Ghost is compatible with any vehicle with an engine, including motorhomes, cars, vans and caravans, as well as bikes. The same system is compatible with electric vehicles. It is an excellent alternative to steering wheel locks and wheel clamps that can be installed with little effort.

When the Ghost is activated, it will disable all buttons on your car and prevent the ignition from being started without the PIN code. You can enter the code by hand or using the Android or Apple app. If the wrong code is entered, the app will display an indicator light and the Ghost will not allow the vehicle to start again. This is a great method to discourage thieves. If the vehicle can't be started and they are unable to get it started, they will leave.

The Ghost is a weatherproof, small device that can be hidden behind the most difficult-to-access parts of your vehicle. It is incredibly easy to install, taking an average of 20-30 minutes for each vehicle. It is also very easy to remove if you decide to move your vehicle around or return it for service or valet parking. It is a TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) insurance-approved system that is recognized by some insurers. It also comes with a safe emergency Pin Code override and features the Service/Valet Mode which can be activated with an app button or using your key fob.

Disarm

Contrary to the mechanical devices, which are able to be removed and reinstalled, ghost immobilisers are concealed and integrated into the car. Even if they were discovered and stolen, thieves would not be able to start the vehicle. They are nearly impossible to bypass or hack. This is because a ghost immobiliser prevents key hacking, signal jamming and device spoofing - techniques that are used frequently by thieves to get into vehicles with standard immobilisers.

An immobiliser operates by sending a code to the ECU (electronic control unit). If the wrong code is received the vehicle will not be started as the engine will not fire up. It is possible to disable a ghost immobiliser using the aid of a software program, however it is very difficult and time consuming to accomplish this. Only an authorized installer can install and use the software.

The Ghost immobiliser is a small system that sits within the vehicles wiring loom and is invisible to the naked eye after it has been installed. It is not visible on diagnostic systems, there aren't LED indicators and it will not connect to the engine through the OBD port. It communicates silently through the CAN data loop.

The system will prevent the vehicle from starting until it is given a specific PIN code sequence. This code is entered using buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, or the centre console. This is a more secure way to safeguard your car since it doesn't require the use of keys or a remote control.

In addition to this ghost 2 immobiliser near me has a service mode which can be activated by using the application on your mobile phone. This will allow you to give your keys to a person for valet parking or servicing without having to enter the disarm sequence.

You should never remove the system from your Ghost yourself, regardless of whether it's in service mode. This could cause damage to the engine. It is recommended to speak with an TASSA certified installer who can remove the system in a safe and secure manner. Our most recent GHOST II immobilisers also include the QR fingerprint stickers that is hidden in various areas of your vehicle, which are linked to our global security register. In the event that the system is removed and then sold on the black market this will link it back to its original owner.

Anti-Hijack

Ghost Immobiliser 2 has a very useful anti-hijack feature. This system works like an intelligent key and is one of the most secure methods to protect your vehicle from thieves. The Ghost system will automatically turn on the hazard light and stop the car's engine when the ignition is switched on and the vehicle is in a stationary position. This allows the driver and passengers enough time to press the hidden security button before the system is activated.

The Ghost system, unlike many competitors, utilizes a timer and controller unit which shuts down the valve that shuts off fuel after a set period of time. This happens regardless of whether the ignition is on. This delay time period must be long enough to allow the owner of the vehicle who was hijacked of the vehicle to drive away from the scene of the hijacking and a sufficient distance from the stalled vehicle before the system is able to reactivate.

The Ghost offers an additional level of security that prevents common hacking methods used to gain entry to modern vehicles like relay attacks and key range expanding. This is due to the fact that the Ghost system is completely silent and does not emit signals that can be detected by a criminal using codes or RF scanning technology.

The Ghost system also has the Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to be started temporarily and driven without the need for an PIN code. This is a great option for those who park their car and only need to leave it for a brief time for a few minutes, like to open the garage door or put groceries in the boot. The system will be able to exit service mode depending on the speed and time or via the simple PIN code entry procedure, giving you complete assurance that only you can utilize your vehicle!

Keyless Entry

Many customers are seeking out additional security measures because of the increasing trend of contactless car theft. This is particularly relevant for those who have invested time or money in personalizing their vehicles and own expensive or rare vehicles. Immobilisers with add-ons can be an effective way to deter this kind of theft since they prevent your car from starting until the correct pin code is entered, along with your key fob.

Immobilisers are made to block a variety of vehicle circuits which include those that control the starter motor and fuel pump. They also can shut the car alarm to draw attention to and frighten away any potential thieves.

These devices are directly connected to the engine control unit through the CAN data network. They hinder thieves from gaining access to it by installing a new ECU or using key programmers. The immobilisers can be installed in a discreet manner inside your vehicle, leaving no traces and are invisible to the tools high-tech thieves employ.

The Ghost immobiliser is different from other systems that require the driver to wear a tag or an app. Instead, you can choose your personal pin sequence by pressing the pattern on your steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. The pin can be easily changed and makes the device as secure as a bank card. It can also be more difficult to break since it requires as many as 20 presses.

Ghost also has a Valet/Service mode that allows you to disable it if you intend to surrender your vehicle to valet parking, or service. This allows the system to operate within the parameters such as a 30 mph speed limit. The system can be activated using the original key or entry code.

This makes it the most effective and secure aftermarket CAN immobiliser on the market, and is insurance approved by Thatcham as an optional accessory for your car when installed by one of our certified installers. The Ghost 2 immobiliser comes with six QR fingerprint labels as well as an ISR contact card that contains your unique QR codes, along with a secure emergency code.
