Ghost 2 Immobiliser Problems

The Ghost 2 immobiliser, designed to safeguard cars from key cloning or hacking is a small device that can be put in place without causing any damage to your vehicle. It stops your car from starting unless you enter an exact sequence of keys inside your vehicle similar to the password of mobile phones.

Stop/Start

Ghost immobilisers prevent vehicles from being stolen by preventing the engine from starting until it has received the correct PIN code. This is done without altering the vehicle, and is undetectable by thieves. The unit communicates with the ECU via the CAN data bus to disable the vehicle. This is similar to the ones used by car manufacturers for many years. However, thieves cannot escape it using a new key or key relay technology, like they can with factory fitted systems.

Ghost Ghost can be fitted to any car, van motorhome, caravan, or bicycle with an engine. It's compatible with all popular makes of vehicles. The same system is also compatible with electric vehicles. It's a great alternative to steering wheel locks and wheel clamps that can be installed with minimal effort.

When the ghost 2 immobiliser installation is activated, it will disable all buttons on your car and prevent the ignition from starting without a PIN code. This can be done using the Android or Apple mobile apps or by manually entering the code through your key fob. If the incorrect code is entered, the app will display an indicator light. The Ghost will then not allow the vehicle be started again. This is a great way to deter thieves. If the vehicle is unable to be started the thieves will be able to move on.

The Ghost is a weatherproof, small device that can be hidden away in the most inaccessible parts of your vehicle. Installation takes between 20-30 minutes for each vehicle. It is also simple to remove if you decide to change vehicles, or even give it to the valet or service center parking. It is an TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) insurance-approved system, and is recognized by some insurers. It also comes with a secure emergency Pin Code override and features a Service/Valet mode that can be activated by pressing the application's button or with your key fob.

Disarm

ghost immobiliser liverpool immobilisers, unlike mechanical anti-theft devices that are able to be removed, are hidden inside the vehicle. They are virtually impossible to hack or bypass and even if discovered, a burglar cannot start the engine. This is because a ghost immobiliser prevents key cloning, signal jamming and device spoofing - methods that are frequently used by thieves to get into cars fitted with standard immobilisers.

The immobiliser transmits a code to the ECU. If the wrong code is received, the vehicle will not start as the engine won't start. Although it is possible to disable the ghost immobiliser with software, this would be very lengthy and complicated. The software can only be installed and used by a authorized installer.

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

The system will not allow the vehicle to start until it is given an input PIN code defined by the user. This can be entered using buttons on the steering wheel, door panels or centre console. This is a safer method of protecting your vehicle as it does not require a key fob or remote control.

In addition, Ghost also has an option for service that can be activated through the application on your mobile phone. This allows you to give your keys to someone else to use for service or valet parking, without having to enter an arm-disarm sequence.

You should never remove the system from your Ghost by yourself, no matter whether it is in service mode. This could damage the engine. It is recommended that you contact a TASSA certified installer who will be able to remove the system safely and correctly. Our newest GHOST II immobilisers also include the QR fingerprint stickers that is hidden in various areas of your vehicle, they are linked to our global security register. In the event that the system is removed and then sold on the black market it will be linked back to its original owner.

Anti-Hijack

The anti-hijack feature is a key feature of the Ghost Immobiliser 2. This system is a smart key that shields your vehicle from theft. When the ignition switch is turned to on and the vehicle remains stationary for a period of 30 seconds then the Ghost system will automatically stall the engine and switch the warning lights on. This allows the driver and passengers enough time to press the secure button before the system is activated.

Contrary to many other systems that simply stop the engine whenever the ignition switch is turned on, the Ghost system uses a special controller and timer unit which will close the valve that cuts off fuel in the event that it is activated within a set period of time even if the ignition is still switched on! This delay period should be long enough to allow the person who was hijacked to get away, and stay a safe distance from the vehicle that is stalled before the system is reactivated.

The Ghost comes with an additional level of security that prevents common hacking techniques used to gain access to modern vehicles like relay attacks and key range expanding. This is because the Ghost system communicates silently and does not emit signals that can be detected by a criminal using codes or RF scanning technology.

The Ghost system features the valet or service mode that allows your car to be re-started and driven without the need for PIN code. This is a great option when you park your vehicle and only require it to be left for a short time, such as to open the garage door or place 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 input process that gives you total peace of mind that only YOU can use your car!

Keyless Entry

Many consumers are now looking for extra security measures because of the growing trend of contactless car theft. This is particularly applicable to those who have invested time or money to personalize their vehicle or own expensive vehicles. A supplementary immobiliser is an effective way to avoid this kind of theft since it will stop your vehicle from starting unless the correct pin code is entered alongside your key fob.

Immobilisers are designed to be used on a variety vehicle circuits including ones that control starter motors as well as fuel pumps. They can also shut off the car alarm to attract attention and ward off potential thieves.

These devices are directly connected to the engine control unit via the CAN data network. They stop the thief from gaining access to it by installing a replacement ECU or by using key programmers. The immobilisers can be installed discretely inside your vehicle, leaving no trace and are totally invisible to the tools hi-tech thieves use.

The Ghost immobiliser is unlike other systems which require drivers to carry tags or an app. Instead, you can select your personal pin sequence by pressing a pattern on your door, steering panel, and the centre console. The pin can be changed as frequently as you want, which means it is as secure as a credit card. It can be even more difficult to hack due to it requiring up to 20 press.

Ghost also comes with a Valet/Service mode, which permits you to deactivate it if you plan to hand over your vehicle to valet parking, or for service. This allows the system to function within certain parameters like a 30-mph speed limit. It can then be reactivated using the original key or the key that corresponds to the entry code.
