Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation

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

This makes it almost impossible to figure out the sequence, so that the vehicle cannot be driven away or started. Additionally, it helps prevent signal jamming and device spoofing.

No key fobs or LED indicators

Many thieves target keyless vehicles. If they are able to intercept your vehicle's key signal, or duplicate your key fob, they can use it for your car to start, and drive away. This is why it's a great idea to have an immobiliser installed on your van or car. It's a basic device that stops the engine from starting if you do not have a key or immobiliser code. There are a variety of different kinds of immobilisers that are available. Some are designed to be hidden within your car whilst others are weatherproof and are able to be installed in a location that is more noticeable.

One of the best and most common types is a Ghost immobiliser. It is an immobiliser ghost that is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It functions in a similar manner to your key fob but doesn't have any LED indications or even an indicator on the steering wheel to signal its presence. It is hidden inside the vehicle or van and communicates directly with the ECU.

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

The Ghost Immobiliser provides great protection for your car or van against key cloning and hacking. This is done by using a PIN code that only you are aware of. You can select a disarm sequence that you set and it can be as long or as short as you like. You then enter this into the Ghost app on your phone whenever you are driving. If you change cars in the course of ownership, the system can be transferred.

These systems are usually connected to the OBD port which allows them to recognise your key fob or key. However, hi-tech thieves have found ways to hack these systems and cause the vehicle to start even though the key isn't in. This is why it's suggested that you get an immobiliser that is ghost-like. The device can stop your Mercedes from starting unless the correct PIN code is entered. You can set this and only you and your installer know it.

No OBD Port Hacking

The ghost immobiliser prevents your car stolen with ghost immobiliser from starting without entering the correct pin code. It is designed to protect against key cloning, and other forms of theft that are common.

Contrary to other security systems which feature keys-fobs or LED indicators, ghost immobilisers are snoopy and operate in a silent manner using the CAN data network. This means that thieves can't detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser, even if they are using advanced RF scanning and code grabbing technology.

The device sits in the engine bay and is connected to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It connects to factory buttons on your vehicle which allows you to design a unique button sequence that will allow start-up of your car. This can be entered through the steering wheel, the door ghost immobilisers, the tracker panels or the centre console. The PIN can be changed at anytime and can have up to 20 digits.

Modern vehicles are filled with CAN bus data, which means that thieves are able to employ a variety of methods to break into your car and disable its security systems. One method is to use the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the right tools thieves are able to access the OBD port in your car and utilize a laptop to disable the alarm on your car and then code a new key, then drive away. This method is extremely effective and can be done in a matter of minutes.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. This system cannot be detected by vehicle diagnostics, and there are no radio waves. It is almost impossible for thieves to find it and alter it. In addition the ghost is immune to jamming devices that can be used to disable other security systems within your vehicle.

You can also switch the ghost into Service mode. This lets you offer your car for valet parking or service, without giving anyone your keys or buttons fobs. The ghost will then leave Service mode according to speed and time or by entering the pin code you have set up. This is a great method to protect your vehicle from high tech car thieves while you are at work or away on vacation.

No Key Theft

The ghost 2 immobiliser is an CAN bus device. This means it sits within the vehicle's CAN data networks meaning it cannot be identified by any diagnostic tool that thieves use to scan and attack modern cars. It also doesn't transmit any radio signals, like a tracker, so it is not visible to anyone else than you or your certified installer.

Contrary to other car security systems which rely on LEDs or key fobs, the Ghost immobiliser uses the buttons already in your vehicle (either the steering wheel or the dashboard, or door locks) to create a unique disarm sequence that you choose. The sequence can be adjusted to any length you like and must be entered before the J can be driven.

You can change your password whenever you'd like, so that your vehicle will still be secure even if someone else gets your keys or even if you forget your PIN for several days. This is especially useful when you are dropping your car off to be cleaned or serviced, or if you need to bring it to a local garage to be repaired - you can still drive it with no worries about a criminal stealing your vehicle.

The Ghost device's thief-proofing technology is an absolute game changer. It's an excellent alternative to physical deterrents, such as a wheel clamp or steering wheel lock. The fact that it doesn't rely on any external components or emit any signals makes it far more difficult to thwart than any other immobiliser currently available.

We do not recommend altering your wiring for CAN data in any way. This is why it's crucial to ensure that the installation is done by an approved TASSA Registered Ghost Installations team. Our team is fully qualified and insured. This gives you assurance that your ghost immobiliser car Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa approved product.

No Key Cloning

The Ghost 2 is a new immobiliser for your Lexus. It guards against key-cloning hacking and theft. It creates a distinct pin code push sequence using the original buttons on your vehicle. Only you are able to start your car. The system is completely hidden by being sealed and hidden in the vehicle harness which makes it inaccessible to thieves. If a burglar could gain access, they would be stopped from driving away based on speed or entering the PIN code. You can also put the car into service mode to temporarily start and drive your vehicle. This is done via the app or using a Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and is able to be removed at any time.

Key cloning online is widespread and allows criminals to steal cars without having the original keys. This is why having an immobiliser installed is essential, especially when you've spent a lot on your beloved vehicle.

A ghost immobiliser differs from the factory immobiliser that comes in your vehicle. Immobilisers that are factory fitted depend on a chip within the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the fob or key and start the engine. Ghost immobilisers stop this by adding an extra layer of security to your vehicle that makes it impossible to start the engine without having a unique pin number or code sequence being entered. It also blocks hacking devices, device spoofing, and signal jamming. These are all methods that could be used to unlock a regular immobiliser that is fitted by the manufacturer.

The greatest benefit of ghost immobilisers is that it is near impossible to hack or bypass. This is because the ghost immobiliser is linked to CAN bus, and it operates in a manner that is invisible to thieves. This is an advantage, as it prevents a stolen car from being driven back because it can't start.

This will also stop a car from being towd since the Ghost will lock automatically once it reads that trigger speed of zero miles per hour. This is an excellent benefit, as it prevents a thief to be in a position to take your ghost and tow away your vehicle.
