Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle against key cloning and hacking. It also helps prevent door lock picking. It is operated by using the vehicle's buttons that are factory-installed (such as the steering wheel control, door panel and centre console) to create an individual pin code sequence that you can change each time you use it.
It is virtually impossible to predict this sequence, and the vehicle is not able to start. It also prevents the device from spoofing signals and jamming.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications
Car theft is a major problem with many thieves targeting vehicles with no keys. If they can get the vehicle's key signal or copy your key fob, they can use it for your car to start, and drive away. This is why it's a good idea to have an immobiliser fitted on your van or car. It's an easy device that prevents the engine from starting without an ignition key or code. There are several types of immobilisers that are available. Certain immobilisers are designed to be hidden inside your car, whereas others are weatherproof. They can be installed at a higher-visibility area.
One of the most effective and most well-known kinds is a Ghost Immobiliser. It is an immobiliser that is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It functions in a similar manner like a key fob however, it doesn't have LED indicators or buttons on the steering wheel that would signal its presence. It is hidden inside your car or van and is in direct communication with the ECU.
It's also inaccessible to any diagnostic tools for vehicles 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 modify the Ghost Unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser is a fantastic solution because it shields your car or van from hacking, key cloning and key theft. car ghost immobiliser is done using a PIN code you alone know. You can select your own sequence of disarming and it can be as short or as long as you like. Then, you enter it into the Ghost application on your phone to begin driving. The system can be transferred to a new vehicle if you change cars throughout the life of ownership.
These systems are usually connected to the OBD port, so that they can recognise your key fob or key. However, hackers with high-tech devices have discovered ways to hack into these systems and make the vehicle start despite the fact that the key isn't present. This is the reason that it's recommended to install an immobiliser that is ghost. The device will be able to stop your Mercedes from starting until a specific PIN code push sequence is entered. You can set this and only you and your installer know it.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser works by preventing your car from starting if you do not enter the correct pin code. It is designed to guard against key cloning, and other types of theft common to.
Contrary to other security systems which include LED indicators or key-fobs, ghost immobilisers are hidden 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 use advanced technology for RF scanning and code grabbing technology.
The device is located in the engine bay and connected to the ECU. It is able to communicate with buttons on the factory of your vehicle, and allows you to create a unique sequence of buttons to start your car. It can be entered through the steering wheel, door ghost immobiliser and tracker panels, or even the center console. The PIN can be changed at anytime and can include up to 20 digits.
Modern vehicles are stuffed with CAN bus information, which means thieves have various methods to hack your car and disable the security systems. One of them is the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the right tools thieves can access the OBD port on your vehicle and use a laptop in order to disable the alarm on your car and code a new key then drive away. This kind of hack is very effective and can be completed in just a few minutes.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by communicating with the ECU via 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. In addition, the ghost is also immune to jamming devices that can be used to disable other security systems inside your vehicle.
You can also put the ghost into Service mode. This allows you to give your car away for valet parking or service, without giving anyone your buttons or key 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 at work or away on holiday.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser is an CAN bus device. This means it sits within the vehicles CAN data network meaning it cannot be detected by any diagnostic tools that thieves use to scan and hack into modern cars. It does not transmit any radio signals like a tracker, so it is inaccessible to anyone other than you or your certified installer.
Unlike other car security systems that rely on LED indicators or key fobs the Ghost immobiliser makes use of the buttons that are already present in your vehicle (either the steering wheel or the door lock, or dashboard) to create a unique disarm sequence that you choose. This sequence can be as long or short as you want, 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 another person your keys or forget your PIN for a few hours or so, your vehicle is still safe. This is particularly important when you drop your vehicle off for cleaning or service, or if you have to take it to local garages for repairs. You can still drive your vehicle without worrying about a burglar taking it.
The Ghost device's thief-proofing technology is a game changer. It's a great alternative to physical deterrents like wheel clamps or a steering wheel lock. The fact that it doesn't depend on any external components or emit any signals makes it more difficult to thwart than any other immobiliser currently available.
The only way in which the Ghost can be defeated is through physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network, which we would not recommend at all. This is why it's so important to ensure that the installation is done by an approved TASSA Registered Ghost Installations team. Our team is certified and insured. This provides you with assurance that your Ghost Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa-approved item.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser that secures your Lexus. It shields your car from hacking, key-cloning and key theft. It creates a discrete pin code sequence by using the original buttons of your car. Only you are able to start your vehicle. The system is completely hidden and sealed into the harness of your vehicle and is therefore inaccessible to thieves. If a burglar was able to access the system, they would be prevented from driving away based on speed or entering the PIN code. You can also put it into service mode so that it can temporarily start and drive your car. This can be done through the app or using a Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and is able to be removed at any time.
Modern modern day key cloning devices are very easy to purchase on the internet and gives criminals the ability to steal your car without ever having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is essential, especially if your car is expensive.
A ghost immobiliser is very different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. Standard factory-fitted immobilisers use an internal chip in the ECU to communicate with a fob or key and then start the car. A ghost immobiliser prevents this by adding an extra layer of security to your vehicle. It 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 to unlock a factory fitted immobiliser.
The best part about ghost immobilisers is that it is nearly impossible to bypass it or hack it. This is because the ghost immobiliser is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a way that isn't visible to thieves. This is a major advantage because it means that a vehicle that was stolen won't be allowed to be stolen and again since it won't be able to start.
This will also stop a car from being towd as the Ghost will automatically lock once it reads that trigger speed of zero mph. This is an additional benefit as it will stop thieves from being able to remove the ghost and then take your car away.
