ghost immobiliser london 2 Immobiliser Problems

The Ghost 2 immobiliser, designed to safeguard cars from hacking or key cloning, is a discrete device that can be installed without causing damage to your vehicle. It stops you from starting your car unless you have entered the correct sequence of buttons in your vehicle. This is similar to a mobile password.

Stop/Start

Ghost immobilisers protect vehicles from being stolen by stopping the engine from running until it receives the right PIN code. This is done with no modification to the vehicle and is completely undetectable by thieves. The unit communicates with the ECU on the CAN data bus, which allows it to lock the vehicle. This system is similar to the ones used by car manufacturers for years. However, thieves cannot escape it using a new key, or key relay technology, like they can with factory fitted systems.

Ghost is compatible with all vehicles with an engine, which includes motorhomes, vans, cars, caravans, and bikes. The same system is compatible with electric cars. It's a great alternative to locking the steering wheel and wheel clamps that can be installed with a minimum of effort.

When the ghost immobiliser tracker is activated, it will block all buttons in your vehicle and prevent the ignition from being started unless a PIN code has been entered prior to. This can be accomplished using the Android or Apple mobile app or by entering the code using your key fob. If a wrong code is entered the app will show an indicator light and the Ghost will not allow the vehicle to start again. This is a great method to deter thieves. If the vehicle cannot be started, they will move on.

The Ghost is a weatherproof small device that can be tucked away in the most difficult to access parts of your vehicle. It is extremely simple to install, taking an average of 20-30 minutes for each vehicle. It is also easy to remove if you decide to switch your vehicle or hand it in for service or valet parking. It is a TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) an insurance-approved system, and is recognized by a few insurance companies. It is also equipped with an emergency Pin Code override and features the Service/Valet Mode which can be activated with an app button or by using your key fob.

Disarm

Ghost immobilisers like mechanical anti-theft devices that are able to be removed, are hidden in the car. Even if they were discovered and stolen, thieves would not be able to start the car. They are virtually impossible to bypass or hack. This is because a ghost immobiliser blocks key blocking, signal jamming, and device spoofing - methods that are used frequently by thieves to gain access to cars fitted with standard immobilisers.

An immobiliser functions by sending a code to the ECU (electronic control unit). If the incorrect code is received, the vehicle cannot be started because the engine will not fire up. It is possible to disable a ghost immobiliser with a software tool, but it's extremely difficult and time-consuming to accomplish this. Only an authorised installer can install and use the software.

The Ghost immobiliser, a tiny device, is hidden in the vehicle's wiring loom. It is not visible to the naked eye once installed. It is not visible on diagnostic systems. There are no indicators with LEDs, and it doesn't communicate with the engine via the OBD port. It communicates in silence via the CAN data loop.

The system will stop the vehicle from starting unless it is able to receive a user-defined PIN code sequence. This code is entered using buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, or centre console. This is a safer way to protect the car, since it doesn't require the use of a remote or key fob.

Ghost also has a service mode that can be activated via the mobile application. This allows you to give your keys to someone else for valet parking or service, without having to enter a disarm sequence.

It is not recommended to remove the system from your Ghost by yourself, no matter whether it is in service mode. This could damage your engine. It is recommended that you contact an TASSA verified 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 different areas of your vehicle. these are linked to our international security register - in the event the system is removed and is sold on the black market, this will link it back to its original owner.

Anti-Hijack

The anti-hijack function is a key feature of the Ghost Immobiliser 2. It functions like smart keys and is one of the most secure methods to ensure your car is safe from theft. The Ghost system will automatically activate the hazard light and stop the car's engine when the ignition is on and the vehicle is stationary. This allows the driver or passengers time to press a hidden security button (depending on the vehicle) before the system is activated and the engine is again allowed to start.

The Ghost system, unlike most competitors, utilizes a timer and controller unit which shuts down the valve that shuts off fuel after a predetermined time. This is regardless of whether the ignition is on. This delay period must be long enough for the owner of the vehicle to leave the vehicle and a distance sufficient from the vehicle that is stalled before the system can be activated.

In addition to the standard CANbus immobiliser blocking features of the Ghost system, it also comes with an additional security level that blocks common hacking methods employed to gain access to modern cars such as relay attacks, key range extending and ECU swapping. The Ghost system communicates in a quiet manner and does not emit signals that can be detected by thieves using RF scanning or code-grabbing technology.

The Ghost system also comes with the Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to be temporarily re-started and driven without the need for an PIN code. This is great when you park your vehicle and need to leave it for a brief amount of time, for instance, to put your groceries in the boot or open a garage door. The system will be able to exit service mode based on speed and time or via the simple PIN code entry procedure and give you peace of mind that only YOU can utilize your vehicle!

Keyless Entry

With the rise of theft of cars using contactless technology numerous customers are seeking out additional security options. This is particularly true for those who have invested time or money in personalizing their vehicles and own expensive or rare vehicles. Immobilisers with add-ons can be a good way to deter this kind of theft as they can prevent your vehicle from starting until correct pin code has been entered along with your key fob.

Immobilisers are designed to impede a variety of vehicle circuits which include ones that control the starter motor and the fuel pump. They can also disable the alarm for cars in order to attract attention and ward off potential thieves.

These devices communicate directly with the engine control unit through the CAN data network and hinder thieves from gaining access to it by installing a new ECU or using key programmers. These immobilisers can be fitted discretely inside your vehicle, leaving no marks and are completely invisible to the tools hi-tech thieves use.

The Ghost immobiliser differs from other systems that require drivers to carry an app or tag. Instead, you are able to select your personal pin sequence by pressing an image on your steering, door panel, and centre console. The pin can easily be changed and makes the device as secure as a bank card. It is also more difficult to crack because it requires up to 20 press.

Ghost also has the option of a valet/service mode that lets you deactivate the system when your vehicle will be handed over for valet parking or services which allows it to operate within predetermined guidelines, such as 30mph speed limits, so you don't have to worry about your car being driven at a reckless speed. It can then be reactivated by using the original key or the key that corresponds to the entry code.

It is also accepted by Thatcham for insurance purposes. The Ghost 2 immobiliser is also equipped with six QR fingerprint labels and an ISR contact card that contains your unique QR code as well as an emergency number that is secure which are kept in your purse or wallet of your car.
