ghost immobiliser london 2 Immobiliser Problems

The Ghost 2 immobiliser, designed to protect cars from key cloning or hacking is a small device that can be installed without causing damage to your vehicle. It stops you from starting your car unless you enter the correct sequence of keys in your vehicle. This is similar to the mobile password.

Stop/Start

Ghost immobilisers protect vehicles from being stolen by stopping the engine from starting until it has received the correct PIN code. This is done without modification to the vehicle and is completely undetectable by thieves. The unit communicates with the ECU via the CAN data bus to disable the vehicle. This system is similar to the one that automobile manufacturers have used in their vehicles for a long time, however, the thief can't add a new key or use key relay technology to bypass it, as they can with factory fitted systems.

Ghost is compatible with any vehicle with an engine, which includes motorhomes, cars, vans, caravans, and bikes. The same system is compatible with electric vehicles. It's a great alternative to steering wheel locks and wheel clamps, and can be installed with a minimum of effort.

When the Ghost is activated, it will block all buttons in your vehicle and stop the ignition from starting until a PIN code has been entered before. You can enter the code manually or through the Android or Apple app. If the incorrect code is entered, the app will display an indicator light. The Ghost will then not allow the vehicle to start again. This is a great way to deter thieves. If the vehicle can't be started the thieves will be able to move on.

The Ghost is tiny weatherproof device that can be hidden in the most difficult-to-access parts of your car. The installation process takes between 20 and 30 minutes for each vehicle. It is also simple to take off if you decide to change vehicles, or even give it to an auto repair shop or valet parking. It is an TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association), insurance approved system, and is recognized by certain insurance companies. It also has an emergency Pin Code override and features a Service/Valet Mode that can be activated by pressing a button on the app or with your key fob.

Disarm

In contrast to the mechanical anti-theft devices, which can be removed Ghost immobilisers are hidden and integrated into the vehicle. They are nearly impossible to bypass or hack and even if found, a thief is unable to start the engine. Ghost immobilisers are able to prevent key cloning as well as signal jamming and devices spoofing. These are the methods thieves use to gain access into vehicles equipped with standard immobilisers.

The immobiliser sends a message to the ECU. If the wrong code is received the vehicle will not be started because the engine won't start up. It is possible to disable a ghost immobiliser with a software tool, but it would be very difficult and time consuming to accomplish this. Only an authorised installer can install and use the software.

The Ghost immobiliser is a tiny system that sits within the wiring loom of the vehicle and is inaccessible to the naked eye after it has been installed. It is not visible on diagnostic systems. There are no LED indicators, and it isn't able to communicate with the engine through the OBD port. It communicates in a silent manner via the CAN data circuit.

The system will block the vehicle from starting unless it receives a user defined PIN code sequence. This code is entered using buttons on the steering wheel and door panels as well as the central console. This is a much safer method of protecting your vehicle as it does not require the use of a key fob or remote control.

Ghost also has a service mode that can be turned on via the mobile application. This will allow you to give your keys to someone for servicing or valet parking without entering the disarm sequence.

No matter if your Ghost is in service mode or not you should never attempt to remove the system by yourself since it could impact the engine and cause damage. It is recommended that you contact a TASSA certified installer who can remove the system in a safe and secure manner. Our most recent GHOST immobilisers have a specific fingerprint QR sticker hidden in various parts of your vehicle. These are linked to our security register. If the system is removed and later is sold on the blackmarket this will allow you to trace the owner of the system.

Anti-Hijack

The anti-hijack feature is a very important feature of the Ghost Immobiliser 2. This is a clever key that shields your vehicle from theft. The Ghost system will automatically switch on the hazard lights and stop the engine when the ignition is on and the vehicle is in a stationary position. This gives the driver and passengers time to press the security button before the system is activated.

In contrast to other systems that simply stall the engine whenever the ignition switch is turned on, the Ghost system has a unique controller and timer that will shut off the valve for cutting off fuel 14 in the event that it is activated within a set period of time, even if the ignition is still turned on! The delay time must be sufficient to allow the person who was hijacked to drive away and stay a safe distance from the vehicle that is stalled before the system is activated.

The Ghost has an additional layer of security that blocks common hacking methods used to gain entry into modern cars like relay attacks and key range expanding. The Ghost system communicates in a quiet manner and does not emit signals that can be detected by thieves with RF scanning or code-grabbing technology.

The Ghost system has a service / valet mode that allows your vehicle to be re-started and driven, without the need for a PIN code. This is ideal if you are parking your car and need to leave it for a brief period of time, for instance, to put your items in the boot, open a garage door etc. The system will end the service mode based upon speed and time or through an easy PIN code input process. This gives you complete security that only YOU can drive your car!

Keyless Entry

Many customers are seeking out additional security measures due to the growing trend of thefts from cars using contactless. This is especially applicable to those who have put in time and money into customising their vehicles or own expensive automobiles. An add-on immobiliser can be an affordable method to stop this kind of theft because it can stop your vehicle from starting until the proper pin code is entered alongside your key fob.

Immobilisers are designed to intercept the various circuits in a vehicle, including ones that control the starter motor and the fuel pump. They can also turn off the alarm for cars in order to draw attention and ward off potential thieves.

These devices communicate directly with the engine control unit via the CAN data network. They prevent the thief from bypassing it by installing a new ECU or by using key programmers. The immobilisers can be installed discreetly in your vehicle, leaving no traces and are completely invisible to the tools sophisticated thieves use.

In contrast to other systems that require a particular application, or a tag to be carried on the driver's person and a ghost vehicle immobiliser immobiliser can only be deactivated by pressing a sequence of existing electronic buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and central console, allowing you to choose a personal pin sequence. The pin can be changed as often as you'd like, meaning it's as secure as a credit card, and can be more difficult to crack due to the fact that it requires at least 20 presses.

Ghost also offers Valet/Service mode that allows users to deactivate it when you are going to surrender your vehicle for valet parking or service. This allows the system to operate within the parameters, such as a 30-mph speed limit. The system can be activated with the original key or entry code.

Installed by our certified installers and certified installers, it is the most secure and reliable aftermarket CAN-immobiliser available. It is also fully certified by Thatcham for insurance purposes. The Ghost 2 immobiliser is also supplied with six QR fingerprint labels as well as an ISR contact card containing your unique QR code and an emergency number that is secure that can be kept in the purse or wallet of your vehicle.
