Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation

A Ghost immobiliser helps protect your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and door lock picking. It works by using the vehicles buttons that are factory-installed (such as the steering wheel control, door panel & centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence that you can change each time you use the.

It is virtually impossible to guess this sequence, which is why the vehicle can't be started. Additionally, it helps prevent signal jamming & device spoofing.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators

Car theft is a huge problem with many thieves targeting keyless vehicles. If they are able to intercept the signal from your vehicle keys or even copy your key fob, they could use it to begin your vehicle and then take off with it. This is the reason it's a good idea to have an immobiliser added to your vehicle or van. It's just a simple device that prevents the engine from starting if the driver doesn't have a key or an immobiliser code. There are many different kinds of immobilisers that are available. Some are designed to be hidden within your car whilst others are weatherproof and can be placed in a position that is more visible.

One of the most effective and most popular kinds is a Ghost Immobiliser. This device is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It works in a similar way like your key fob, however it does not have any LED indicators or even an indicator on the steering wheel to give away its presence. It's installed in your vehicle or van and connects to the ECU directly.

It is also not able to be picked by any diagnostic tool for vehicles and will keep preventing your vehicle from beginning until the correct PIN code is entered. The system is also tamper-proof, meaning that it's impossible for a thief to alter or remove the ghost unit.

The Ghost Immobiliser is a excellent security measure for your car or van from key cloning and hacking. This is accomplished by using a PIN code that only you know. You can select your own sequence to disarm that can be as short or long as you'd like. You then enter this into the Ghost app on your smartphone when you want to drive. The system can be transferred to a new vehicle if you switch cars throughout the life of owning it.

These systems are typically connected to the OBD port and are able to identify your key fob and key. However, high-tech thieves have found ways to hack these systems and start the vehicle, even if keys are not present. This is the reason it's suggested to install an immobiliser with ghosts installed. The device can prevent your Mercedes from being started unless a certain PIN code is entered. You can set this, and only you and your installer are aware of it.

No OBD Port Hacking

The ghost immobiliser stops your car from starting without the proper pin code. It is designed to guard against key cloning, and other forms of theft that are common.

Unlike other security systems that have LED indicators or key-fobs, ghost immobilisers are snoopy and operate completely silently using the CAN data network. This means that thieves are unable to detect a ghost immobiliser, even using advanced scans using RF or code-grabbing technologies.

The device is located in the engine bay, connected to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It connects to factory buttons on your vehicle, allowing you to create unique sequence of buttons that is used to authorize the start-up of your vehicle. This can be done through the steering wheel, the door ghost immobiliser panels, tracker panels or the centre console. The PIN can be changed at any time and can be as long as 20 number of digits.

Modern cars are awash with CAN bus data, which means that thieves can employ a variety of methods to gain access to your vehicle and disable its security systems. One method involves the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the right tools, thieves are able to access the OBD port on your vehicle and utilize a laptop to deactivate your car's alarm and then code a new key, then drive away. This hack is very efficient and can be completed in a matter of minutes.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by communicating with the ECU through the CAN data network. It is not detected by vehicle diagnostics, and there are no radio signals, which makes it virtually impossible for thieves to discover and tamper with the system. The ghost is also resistant to jamming devices that can be used to disable security systems within your car.

Another great feature of the ghost is the ability to switch it into Service mode, which allows you to turn your vehicle over for valet parking or servicing without giving anyone keys or buttons. The ghost will then leave Service mode according to speed and duration or by entering the pin code that you have set up. This is an excellent way to protect your car from high-tech car thieves while working or 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 detected by any diagnostic tools that thieves use to scan & hack into modern vehicles. It does not transmit any radio signals, similar to a tracker, so it cannot be detected by anyone except you or your expert installer.

Ghost immobiliser is distinct from other security systems for cars that depend on key fobs or LED indicators. It utilizes the buttons on your vehicle to generate a unique sequence of disarming. The sequence can be as short or long as you like, and it needs to be entered before your J can be driven.

You can change your PIN at any time, ensuring that even if you hand someone else your keys or forget your PIN for a day or two your vehicle is still safe. This is particularly useful for when you are dropping your vehicle off to be serviced or cleaned or you have to bring it to a local garage to be repaired - you can still drive it without worrying about a criminal taking your vehicle.

The smart thief proof technology in the Ghost device is a real game changer, and is a great alternative to traditional physical deterrents, such as a steering wheel lock or wheel clamp. The fact that it doesn't rely on any external components or emit any signal makes it more difficult to thwart than any other immobiliser on the market today.

We do not recommend altering the wiring for CAN data in any way. It is therefore vital that you use a TASSA certified Ghost Installations team to complete your installation. Our team is highly qualified and insured. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your Ghost Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa approved product.

No Key Cloning

The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser that secures your Lexus. It protects against key-cloning hackers and theft. It creates an unobtrusive pin code sequence by using the original buttons of your car. Only you are able to start your car. The system is completely concealed by being sealed and hidden inside the harness of the vehicle which makes it inaccessible to thieves. If a burglar did manage to gain access they would be stopped from driving away based on speed or entering the PIN code. You can also switch it into service mode to temporarily begin and drive your vehicle. This is done via the app or using the Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and can be removed at any point.

Online key cloning is very widespread and allows criminals to steal cars without even having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is important especially if your car is expensive.

Ghost immobiliser Install immobilisers are different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. Immobilisers that are factory fitted rely on a chip in the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the fob or key and start the engine. Ghost immobilisers stop this by putting an additional 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. This prevents hacking as well as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other methods of unlocking the factory-installed immobiliser.

The best thing about a ghost immobiliser is that it is nearly impossible to bypass or hack. This is because the ghost immobiliser is linked to the CAN bus, and it operates in a manner that isn't visible to thieves. This is an enormous benefit as it means that a vehicle that has been stolen won't be capable of being stolen and again since it won't be able to start.

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