Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation

A Ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It also helps stop door lock picks. It uses the buttons that are factory-installed on your vehicle (such as the steering wheel control, centre console, and door panel) to create an unique pin code that you can push.

This makes it virtually impossible to figure out the sequence so that the vehicle cannot be driven away or even started. Additionally, it stops the jamming of signals and device spoofing.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators

Car theft is a huge issue with a lot of thieves targeting vehicles that are keyless. If they can intercept the signal from your car keys, or even copy your key fob, they can use it to start your vehicle and then drive away with it. Installing an immobiliser into your car or van is a good idea. It's an easy device that blocks the engine from starting without an ignition key or code. There are  ghost immobiliser 2  of immobilisers available that are available. Some are designed to be hidden inside your vehicle, while others are weatherproof and can be fitted in a position that is more noticeable.

Ghost Immobilisers are among the most popular and best types. It is weatherproof and connects to your vehicle's CAN network. It works in a similar way like your key fob, however it doesn't have any LED indications or even an indicator on the steering wheel to give away its presence. It is mounted in your van or car and connects to the ECU directly.

It also isn't pickable by any vehicle diagnostic tools and will keep preventing your vehicle from starting until the correct PIN code is entered. The system is also tamper-proof, meaning that a thief cannot remove or modify the Ghost Unit.

The Ghost Immobiliser is an excellent solution as it protects your van or car from hacking, key cloning and key theft. This is done using a PIN code that you alone know. You select a sequence to disarm that you can program yourself and can be as short or long as you like. You can then enter this into the Ghost app on your phone when you are driving. The system can be transferred to a different vehicle if you switch cars in the course of owning it.



These systems are often linked to the OBD port, so that they can recognise your key fob or key. However, hi-tech thieves have found ways to hack into these systems to make the vehicle start despite the fact that the key isn't there. This is why it's recommended to get a ghost immobiliser installation. The device can stop your Mercedes from starting unless an appropriate PIN code is entered. You can alter this and only you and your installer know it.

No OBD Port Hacking

The ghost immobiliser prevents your vehicle from starting without the proper pin code. It is designed to protect against key cloning and other types of theft common to.

Ghost immobilisers operate silently and slyly through the CAN data network, which is different from other security systems that use LED indicators or key fobs. This means that thieves are unable to detect a ghost immobiliser even if they use advanced scans using RF or code-grabbing technologies.

The device is located in the engine bay, and is connected to the ECU. It connects to the factory buttons on your vehicle which allows you to design an individual button sequence that will allow start-up of your car. It is entered through the steering wheel, door ghost immobiliser and tracker panels, or even the central console. The PIN can be changed at any time and can be as long as 20 number of digits.

Modern cars are loaded with CAN bus data, which means thieves can use different methods to hack your car and disable the security systems. One method is to use the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the right tools, thieves can access your car's OBD port and make use of a laptop to disable the alarm, create new keys, and then drive it away. This type of hack is very effective and can be completed within minutes.

The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. The system isn't detected by vehicle diagnostics and also there aren't radio waves. It's nearly impossible for thieves find it and tamper. In addition, the ghost is also immune to jamming devices that can be used to disable other security systems within your car.

You can also enter the ghost into Service mode. This allows you to offer your car to valet parking, or service, without giving anyone your keys or button fobs. The ghost will exit the Service mode based on the speed, duration or the pin code that you have set. This is an excellent way to protect your vehicle from high-tech car thieves while working or on vacation.

No Key Theft

The ghost 2 immobiliser uses CAN bus technology which means it is embedded within the vehicle's CAN data network. This means it is not detectable by any diagnostic tools that thieves use to scan and hack into modern vehicles. It does not transmit any radio signals, like a tracker so it is not visible to anyone else than you or your certified installer.

Ghost immobiliser is distinct from other security systems for cars that rely on key fobs or LED indicators. It utilizes the buttons inside your vehicle to generate a unique sequence of disarming. This sequence can be as short or long as you wish & it must be entered before your J can be driven.

You can change your PIN at any time, ensuring that even if you give someone else your keys or forget your own PIN for a few hours or so, your vehicle is still safe. This is especially useful when you're preparing to drop your car off to be serviced or cleaned or you have to take it to the local garage to be repaired - you can still drive it with no worries about a criminal taking your vehicle.

The advanced thief proofing technology of the Ghost device is a game changer and is a great alternative to traditional physical deterrents like the locking of a steering wheel or wheel clamp. The fact that it doesn't depend on any external components or emit any signals makes it much more difficult to thwart than any other immobiliser system available today.

We do not recommend altering the wiring for CAN data in any way. It is essential to use an TASSA registered Ghost Installations team to carry out your installation. Our team is highly qualified and insured. This gives you assurance that your Ghost Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa-approved item.

No Key Cloning

The Ghost 2 is a new immobiliser for your Lexus. It protects against key-cloning hacking as well as theft. It creates a discrete pin code push sequence using the original buttons on your vehicle. Only you are able to start your car. The system is fully concealed, sealed and hidden within the harness of the vehicle, making it totally undetectable to thieves. If a thief managed to gain access to the system, they will be prevented from leaving the vehicle based on speed or entering the code. It is also possible to put it into service mode, allowing you to temporarily start & drive your vehicle. This can be accomplished using the app or using a Bluetooth tag that is available separately. It can also be removed at any time.

Key cloning online is widespread and allows thieves to take cars without having the original keys. This is why having an immobiliser is crucial, particularly when you've invested a lot of money on your pride and joy.

Ghost immobilisers are different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. Standard factory-fitted immobilisers use chips inside the ECU to communicate with a fob or key, and start the car. Ghost immobilisers stop this by putting an additional layer of security to your vehicle. It makes it impossible to start the engine without a specific pin number or code sequence being entered. This stops hackers as well as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other methods of unlocking the factory-installed immobiliser.

The greatest benefit of ghost immobilisers is that it is nearly impossible to bypass it or hack it. This is because the ghost immobiliser is linked to the CAN bus, and it operates in a way that isn't visible to thieves. This is a major benefit because it means that a vehicle that has been stolen will not be allowed to be stolen again as it won't be able to start.

This also prevents a car being towd away because the Ghost will automatically lock once it detects the trigger speed of 0mph. This is an additional benefit because it prevents a thief from being able to remove the ghost, and then tow your vehicle away.
