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 can be fitted without causing damage to your car. It stops your car from starting until you press the correct sequence of buttons inside your vehicle like the password you enter on a mobile phone.

Stop/Start

Ghost Immobilisers protect vehicles from being stolen by blocking the engine from starting until it is issued the correct PIN code. This is accomplished without altering the vehicle, and is undetectable by thieves. The unit is directly connected to the ECU via the CAN databus to lock a vehicle. This is similar to the one used by car makers for a long time. However, thieves cannot escape it using a new key or key relay technology, like they can do using factory-installed systems.

Ghost is compatible with any vehicle with an engine, including motorhomes, vans, cars and caravans, as well as bikes. The same system is compatible with electric cars. It is an excellent alternative to locking the steering wheel and wheel clamps and can be installed with a minimum of effort.

When the Ghost is activated, it will disable all buttons on your car and prevent the ignition being started without a PIN code. You can enter the code manually or through the Android or Apple app. If the incorrect code is entered the app will show an indicator light. The Ghost will then not allow the vehicle to be restarted. This is a great deterrent, and if the vehicle can't be initiated, the criminal will continue to pursue a new victim.

The Ghost is small weatherproof device that is able to be concealed in the most difficult-to-access areas of your car. It is extremely easy to install, taking an average of 20-30 minutes for each vehicle. It is also simple to remove if you choose to switch vehicles, or even give it to the valet or service center parking. It is a fully TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) insurance approved system that is endorsed by a few insurance companies. It is also equipped with a secure 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 can be removed Ghost immobilisers are hidden and are integrated into the car. They are virtually impossible to hack or bypass and even if discovered, a burglar will not be able to start the engine. This is because a ghost immobiliser prevents key blocking, signal jamming, and device spoofing, all of which are methods that are commonly used by thieves to gain entry into cars fitted with standard immobilisers.

An immobiliser functions by sending a code to the ECU (electronic control unit). If a wrong code is received the vehicle will not be launched as the engine will not start up. It is possible to disable a ghost immobiliser by using the aid of a software program, however it would be extremely difficult and time-consuming to accomplish this. The software can only be installed and operated by a authorized installer.

The Ghost immobiliser, a small system, is hidden within the wiring loom of your vehicle. It is invisible to the naked eye once installed. It will not show up on diagnostic systems, there are no LED indicators and it will not communicate with the engine via the OBD port. It communicates in silence via the CAN data loop.

The system will block the vehicle from starting until it receives a user defined PIN code sequence. This is entered through buttons on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console. This is a better way to protect the car, as it doesn't require an additional remote control or key fob.

In addition to this Ghost has the option of a service mode that can be activated using the application on your mobile phone. This allows you to hand over your keys to someone else for valet parking or servicing without having to enter the disarm sequence.

No matter if your Ghost is in service mode or not, you should never attempt to remove the system yourself as it can affect your engine and cause damage. It is recommended to speak with a TASSA-verified installer who can safely and effectively remove the system.

Anti-Hijack

The anti-hijack feature is a key feature of the Ghost Immobiliser 2. This system is a smart key that protects your car from theft. If the ignition switch is turned to on, and the vehicle is stationary for 30 seconds, the Ghost system will stop the engine and switch the hazard lights on. This gives the driver or passenger time to press a security button (depending on the vehicle) before the system reactivates and the engine is again allowed to start.

The Ghost system, unlike other competitors, uses a timer and controller unit that shuts off the valve for shut-off of fuel 14 after a set period of time. This is even if the ignition remains on. This delay period must be long enough for the hijacked vehicle owner to leave the vehicle and a distance sufficient from the stalled car before the system can be activated.

In addition to the standard CANbus immobiliser blocking capabilities of the Ghost system, it comes with an extra security level that blocks common hacking methods used to gain access to modern vehicles like relay attacks, key range extending and ECU swapping. This is because the ghost immobiliser range rover system communicates in a quiet manner and does not emit signals that could be detected by thieves using codes or RF scanning technology.

The Ghost system also comes with the option of a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to be started temporarily and driven without the need for a PIN code. This is a great option for those who park their car and only require it to be left for a short time for a few minutes, like to open the garage door or place groceries in the boot. The system will be able to exit service mode based on speed and time or through the simple PIN code input process and give you security knowing that only YOU are able to use your car!
