Ghost 2 Immobiliser Problems

The Ghost 2 immobiliser, designed to safeguard cars from hacking or key cloning, is a discreet device which can be installed without causing damage to your vehicle. It prevents you from starting your vehicle unless you press the correct sequence of buttons in your vehicle. It is similar to the mobile password.

Stop/Start

Ghost Immobilisers protect vehicles from being stolen by blocking the engine from starting until it has the correct PIN code. This is done without modifying the vehicle, and is largely undetectable by thieves. The unit communicates directly with the ECU via the CAN databus in order to disable a vehicle. This is similar to the one used by car makers for many years. However, thieves cannot escape it using a new key or key relay technology, like they could with factory-installed systems.

Ghost is compatible with any vehicle that has an engine, which includes motorhomes, cars, vans, caravans, and bikes. The same system is compatible with electric vehicles. It is an excellent alternative to steering wheel locks and wheel clamps, and can be installed with minimal effort.

When the Ghost is activated it will stop all buttons in your car and prevent the ignition from being started without the PIN code. This can be done using the Android or Apple mobile app or by entering the code via your key fob. If the wrong 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 method to deter thieves. If the vehicle is unable to be started and they are unable to get it started, they will leave.

The Ghost is small, weatherproof device that can be hidden in the most difficult-to-access areas of your car. The installation process takes between 20 and 30 minutes for each vehicle. It is also simple to remove if you decide to switch vehicles, or to give it to an auto repair shop or valet parking. It is a fully TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) insurance approved system that is recognised by a few insurance companies. It also has an emergency security feature that is secured by Pin Code Override, and a Service/Valet mode which can be activated by pressing a button on the app or by using your key fob.

Disarm

Ghost immobilisers are not mechanical anti-theft devices that are able to be removed, are concealed in the car. Even if they were to be found and stolen, thieves would not be able start the car. They are virtually impossible to bypass or hack. This is because a ghost immobiliser blocks key cloning, signal jamming and device spoofing - techniques that are used frequently by thieves to gain access to cars fitted with standard immobilisers.

The immobiliser transmits a code to the ECU. If the incorrect code is received, the vehicle will not start since the engine won't fire up. It is possible to disable a ghost immobiliser with the aid of a software program, however it's very difficult and time consuming to do so. Only an authorized installer can install and use the software.

The ghost immobiliser fitting birmingham immobiliser is a tiny device that is part of the wiring loom of the vehicle and is invisible to the naked eye after it has been installed. It does not appear on diagnostic systems. There are no LED indicators and it doesn't communicate with the engine through the OBD port. It communicates without sound via the CAN data circuit.

The system will not allow the vehicle to start unless it is provided with an input PIN code defined by the user. This is entered through buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, or on the centre console. This is a more secure method to safeguard your car as it doesn't require the use of a remote or key fob.

Ghost also has a service-mode that is activated through the mobile application. This allows you to give your keys to someone else for service or valet parking, without the need to enter an arm-disarm sequence.

You should not remove the system from your Ghost by yourself, regardless of whether it's in service mode. This can damage your engine. It is recommended to speak with a TASSA-verified installer who can safely and correctly remove the system. Our newest GHOST immobilisers have a specific fingerprint QR sticker hidden in various areas of your vehicle. They are connected to our security register. In the event that the device is removed and then is sold on the blackmarket, this will allow you to trace the original owner.

Anti-Hijack

The anti-hijack function is a key feature of the Ghost Immobiliser 2. This is a clever key that protects your car from theft. The Ghost system will automatically turn on the hazard light and stall the car's engine when the ignition is on and the vehicle is in a stationary position. This allows the driver and passengers enough time to press the security button before the system can be activated.

The Ghost system, unlike other competitors, uses an electronic timer and controller that shuts off the valve that shuts off fuel after a predetermined period of time. This is even if the ignition remains on. This delay period should be long enough to allow the person who was hijacked to leave the vehicle and be a sufficient distance from the car that it is stuck before the system is reactivated.

The Ghost has an additional level of security to prevent common hacking techniques used to gain access into modern cars, such as relay attacks and key range extending. This is due to the fact that the Ghost system communicates silently and does not emit any signals that could be detected by a thief using codes or RF scanning technology.

The ghost 2 immobiliser installation system features the valet or service mode that allows your car to temporarily be started and driven, without the need for PIN code. This is great if you are parking your vehicle and need to leave it for a brief period of time, for example to put groceries in the boot or open a garage door. The system will be able to exit service mode depending on the speed and time or through the simple PIN code input process that gives you total peace of mind that only YOU can use your vehicle!

Keyless Entry

With the rise of contactless car theft, many customers are looking into extra security options. This is especially applicable to those who have invested time or money in personalizing their vehicle and own rare/expensive vehicles. A supplementary immobiliser is a cost-effective way to prevent this type of theft as it can stop your vehicle from starting unless the proper pin code is entered on your key fob.

Immobilisers are designed to be used on different vehicle circuits, including those that control starter motors and fuel pumps. They also are able to shut off the car alarm in order to draw attention and deter any potential thieves.

These devices communicate directly with the engine control unit via the CAN data network. They stop the thief from gaining access to it by installing a replacement ECU or using key programmers. These immobilisers can be fitted in a discreet manner inside your vehicle, leaving no traces and are inaccessible to the tools high-tech thieves employ.

Unlike other systems that require a separate application, or a tag to be carried on the driver's person and a Ghost immobiliser is only disarmed by pressing a series of the existing electronic buttons on your steering wheel, door panel and centre console, allowing you to choose a custom pin sequence. The pin can be changed as frequently as you'd like, meaning the device is as secure as a credit card, and is even more difficult to break due to it requiring up to 20 presses.

Ghost also has the option of a valet/service mode that allows you to deactivate the system if your vehicle is going to be handed over for valet parking or for service which allows it to operate within predetermined parameters such as a 30mph speed limit, so you don't have to worry about your vehicle being driven recklessly. It can be activated with the original key or the key that corresponds to the entry code.

This makes it the most effective and secure aftermarket CAN immobiliser available on the market, and is insurance-approved by Thatcham as an add-on for your car when installed by one of our authorised installers. The Ghost 2 immobiliser is also supplied with six QR fingerprint labels, an ISR contact card with your unique QR code as well as a secure emergency code which you keep in the wallet/purse of your vehicle.
