Ghost 2 Immobiliser Problems The Ghost 2 immobiliser, designed to protect cars from key cloning or hacking is a discreet device which can be installed without damaging your vehicle. It prevents you from starting your car unless you have entered the correct sequence of keys in your vehicle. This is similar to a mobile password. Stop/Start Ghost Immobilisers protect vehicles from being stolen by preventing the engine from starting until it is issued the correct PIN code. This is done without modification to the vehicle and is completely undetectable to thieves. The unit communicates directly with the ECU via the CAN databus to immobilise the vehicle. This system is very similar to the one car manufacturers have been using in their cars for many years however, the criminal isn't able to add a key or use key relay technology to bypass it as they can with factory fitted systems. Ghost is compatible with all vehicles with an engine, including cars, vans, motorhomes, caravans, and bikes. The same system is compatible with electric cars. It is a great alternative to wheel clamps and steering wheel locks. If the Ghost is activated it will stop all buttons in your car, preventing the ignition being started without a PIN code. You can enter the code manually or through the Android or Apple app. If a code that is incorrectly entered, the app will display an indicator light and the Ghost will not allow the vehicle to start again. This is a great deterrent, and when the vehicle isn't started, the burglar will continue to pursue a new target. The Ghost is tiny weatherproof device that can be concealed in the most difficult to reach areas of your vehicle. It is incredibly easy to install and takes an average of 20-30 minutes for each vehicle. It is also very easy to remove if you decide to move your vehicle around or return it for valet parking or service. It is a fully TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) insurance approved system that is endorsed by a number of insurance companies. It also has an emergency security feature that is secured by Pin Code Override, and a Service/Valet mode that can be activated by pressing a button within the app or using your key fob. Disarm Ghost immobilisers are not mechanical devices to prevent theft that can be removed, are concealed inside the vehicle. They are nearly impossible to bypass or hack and even if discovered, a burglar will not be able to start the engine. This is because ghost immobilisers prevent key blocking, signal jamming, and device spoofing - methods that are frequently used by thieves to get into vehicles with standard immobilisers. An immobiliser works by sending a code to the ECU (electronic control unit). If a wrong code is received the vehicle will not be started because the engine will not start up. While it is possible to disable the ghost immobiliser using an application program, this is very time-consuming and difficult. The software must be installed and used by a authorised installer. The Ghost immobiliser is a tiny device that is part of the wiring loom of your vehicle and is invisible to the naked eye once installed. It doesn't show up on diagnostic systems. There are no LED indicators, and it does not communicate with the engine via the OBD port. It communicates in silence via the CAN data loop. The system will prevent the vehicle from starting until it is able to receive a user-defined PIN code sequence. The code is entered by pressing buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, or centre console. This is a more secure way to safeguard your car since it doesn't require keys or remote control. Ghost also has a service-mode that can be turned on via the mobile application. This will allow you to hand over your keys to someone else for valet parking or servicing without having to enter the disarm sequence. You should never remove the system from your Ghost yourself, regardless of whether it is in service mode. This could damage the engine. It is best to contact a TASSA-verified installer who can safely and properly remove the system. Our latest GHOST II immobilisers also include a special QR fingerprint sticker that is hidden in various locations of your vehicle. they are linked to our global security register - in the event the system is removed and is sold on the black market, this will link it back to its original owner. Anti-Hijack The anti-hijack function is a key feature of the Ghost Immobiliser 2. This is a sophisticated key that shields your vehicle from theft. The Ghost system will automatically activate the hazard light and stop the car's engine when the ignition is switched on and the vehicle is stationary. This gives the driver and passengers enough time to press the hidden security button before the system is reactivated. Unlike many competitor systems that simply stall the engine when the ignition is switched to on The Ghost system has a unique controller and timer that will shut off the fuel cut-off valve 14 if it is activated after the set time, even in the event that the ignition is turned on! The delay time frame must be long enough to allow the victim of the vehicle to drive away from the site of the incident and to maintain a sufficient distance from the stalled vehicle before the system can reactivate. In addition to the standard CANbus immobiliser blocking features of the Ghost, it has an extra level of security that prevents common hacking techniques employed to gain access to modern cars such as relay attacks key range extending, key range hacking and ECU swapping. This is because the Ghost system communicates silently and does not emit any signals that could be detected by a criminal using code grabbing or RF scanning technology. The Ghost system also comes with a Service / Valet mode that allows your vehicle to be started temporarily and driven without the need for an PIN code. This is perfect if you are parking your vehicle and need to leave it for a short amount of time, for instance, to put your groceries in the boot, or open a garage door etc. The system will end service mode depending on the speed and time or via the simple PIN code input process, giving you complete security knowing that only YOU are able to utilize your vehicle! ghost immobiliser installation With the growing trend in theft of cars using contactless technology numerous people are considering additional security options. This is especially true for those who have put time or money in personalizing their vehicle or own expensive vehicles. An immobiliser add-on can be an effective way to avoid this type of theft as it will stop your vehicle from starting until the proper pin code is entered alongside your key fob. Immobilisers are designed to intercept various vehicle circuits, including ones that control the starter motor and the fuel pump. They also can shut the car alarm to draw attention and scare off any potential thieves. These devices connect directly to the engine control unit using the CAN data network and stop the thief from gaining access to it by installing a replacement ECU or using key programmers. These immobilisers are installed discreetly in your vehicle, leaving no marks and are totally inaccessible to the tools sophisticated thieves use. As opposed to other systems that require a specific application, or a tag to be carried on the person carrying it the Ghost immobiliser can only be deactivated by pressing a sequence of existing electronic buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and centre console, allowing you to choose a personal pin sequence. The pin can be changed as often as you'd like, meaning it is as secure as a credit card and can be more difficult to crack due to it requiring up to 20 press. Ghost also offers Valet/Service mode, which allows you to disable it if you plan to surrender your vehicle for valet parking, or service. This allows the system to operate within parameters such as a 30 mph speed limit. The system can be activated by using the original key or entry code.
