Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation

A Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle against key hacking and cloning. It also helps prevent door lock picking. It uses the buttons that are factory-installed on your vehicle (such as the steering wheel control, the centre console, and door panel) to create an unique pin code that you can push.

This makes it almost impossible to figure out the sequence so that the vehicle cannot be started or driven away. It also stops the device from spoofing signals and jamming.

No key fobs or LED indicators

Many thieves target vehicles that are keyless. If they can get your vehicle's key signal, or copy your key fob they could use it to allow your vehicle to start and drive away. Installing an immobiliser on your car or van is a good idea. It's an easy device that blocks the engine from starting without the use of a key or immobiliser code. There are a variety of different kinds of immobilisers that are available. Some are designed to be hidden in your vehicle while others are weatherproof and are able to be installed in a location which is more visible.

One of the best and most popular types is a Ghost immobiliser. It is weatherproof and connects to your vehicle's CAN network. It functions in the same manner to your key fob but does not have any LED indicators or even a button on your steering wheel to give away its presence. It is hidden inside your vehicle or van and is in direct communication with the ECU.

It also isn't pickable by any vehicle diagnostic tools and will repeatedly block your vehicle from starting until the correct PIN code is entered. The system is also tamperproof, which means that thieves are unable to remove or alter the Ghost unit.

The Ghost Immobiliser is a excellent protection for your vehicle or van against key cloning and hacking. This is done using a PIN code only you know. You can select your own disarm sequence that can be as short or as long as you want. Then, you enter it into the Ghost app on your phone whenever you're planning to drive. If you switch cars in the course of ownership, the system can be transferred.

These systems are typically connected to the OBD port, so that they can recognize your key fob or key. However, hi-tech thieves have discovered ways to hack these systems and cause the vehicle to start even though the key isn't in. This is the reason that it's recommended to install an immobiliser that is ghost. The device will prevent your Mercedes from starting until an exact PIN code push sequence is entered. This can be set by you & is only accessible to you and your installer.

No OBD Port Hacking

The ghost immobiliser stops your car from being started without the correct pin code. It is designed to guard against key cloning and other common forms theft.

Ghost immobilisers operate quietly and slyly via the CAN data network, which is different from other security systems that use key fobs or LED indicators. This means that thieves can't detect a ghost immobiliser even if they use advanced scanning RF or code grabbing technologies.

The device sits in the engine bay and is connected to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It connects to the factory buttons on your vehicle and allows you to create a unique button sequence that will allow the car to start up. It can be entered through the steering wheel as well as the door ghost immobiliser and tracker panels, as well as the centre console. It can be changed at any point and contain up to 20 digits in the PIN.

Modern vehicles are filled with CAN bus data which means that thieves are able to employ a variety of methods to gain access to your vehicle and disable its security systems. One of these methods is through the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port. With the right tools thieves can access the OBD port in your vehicle and then use a laptop in order to disable your car's alarm and then code a new key, then drive away. This kind of hack is highly effective and can be completed in just a few minutes.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. This is undetectable by vehicle diagnostics and there are no radio signals, which makes it almost impossible for thieves to locate and tamper with the system. The ghost is also invulnerable to jamming devices which can be used to disable security systems in your vehicle.

You can also switch the ghost into Service mode. This allows you to give your car away for valet parking or for service without giving anyone your buttons or key fobs. The ghost will exit the Service mode based upon the speed, time or the pin code that you have set. This is a great way to protect your car from high-tech car thieves while at work or out on vacation.

No Key Theft

The ghost 2 immobiliser is a CAN bus device which means it is part of the vehicle's CAN data network which means it is not detected by any diagnostic tools that criminals use to scan and hack into modern cars. It does not transmit any radio signals, such as trackers, and therefore is not able to be detected by anyone except you or your certified installer.

Unlike other car security systems that rely on LED indications or key fobs the Ghost immobiliser works by utilising the buttons already in your vehicle (either the steering wheel or the door lock, or dashboard) to create a unique disarm sequence you decide to use. This sequence can be set to any length you like and must be entered before the J can be driven.

You can change your PIN whenever you'd like, meaning that your vehicle will be secured even if else gets your keys or even if you forget your PIN for a few days. This is especially helpful when you are dropping your car off to be cleaned or serviced or you have to bring it to a local garage to be repaired - you can continue driving it without worrying about someone stealing your car.

The Ghost device's smart thief-proof technology is a game changer. It's an excellent alternative to physical deterrents like a wheel clamp or steering wheel lock. It is more difficult to bypass because it doesn't rely on any external components and doesn't emit any signal.

The only way in which the ghost immobiliser fitter can be defeated is by physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network, which we do not recommend at all. This is why it's essential to make sure that the installation is done by a certified TASSA Ghost Installations registered team. Our staff is fully trained and insured, giving you confidence that your new Ghost Car Security system is authentic Tassa approved product.

No Key Cloning

The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser to protect your Lexus. It safeguards your vehicle from key-cloning, hacking and key theft. By using the original buttons of your vehicle, it creates a discrete pin code sequence that you can control, so only you can start your car. The system is completely hidden, sealed and tucked into the harness of your vehicle and is therefore inaccessible to thieves. If a criminal could gain access, they would be prevented from driving away by speed or entering the PIN code. It is also possible to put it into service mode, which allows you to temporarily start and drive your vehicle. This is done via the app or the Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and is able to be removed at any point.

Online key cloning is very frequent and allows thieves to steal cars without having the original keys. This is why having an immobiliser installed is so important, especially if you have spent a lot of money on your pride and joy.

Ghost immobilisers are different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. Immobilisers that are factory-fitted use an internal chip in the ECU to communicate with a fob or a key and then start the car. Ghost immobilisers provide an extra layer to your vehicle's security, making it impossible for the engine to start without entering a specific code or pin number. This also prevents hacking devices, device spoofing, and signal jamming, which are all methods that can be used to unlock a regular immobiliser that is fitted by the manufacturer.

The most appealing thing about a ghost immobiliser is that it is nearly impossible to bypass or hack. It is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a manner that can't be seen by thieves. This is a great benefit, since it stops the vehicle that was stolen from being driven again because it can't start.

This also stops a car from being tow away since the Ghost will automatically lock once it reads the trigger speed of 0mph. This is another great benefit since it stops thieves from being able to remove the ghost, and then take your car away.
