A Ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and door lock picking. It utilizes the buttons that are factory-installed on your vehicle (such as the steering wheel control, the centre console, and door panel) to generate a unique pin code push.
It is nearly impossible to predict this sequence, and the vehicle can't be started. It also helps prevent signal jamming and device spoofing.
No key fobs or LED indicators
Car theft is a massive problem with many thieves targeting vehicles with no keys. If they can get your vehicle key signal or copy your key fob they can use it for your vehicle to start and drive away. Installing an immobiliser into your car or van is a great idea. It's an easy device that blocks the engine from starting without an ignition key or code. There are many different kinds of immobilisers available. Some are designed to be hidden within your vehicle while others are weatherproof and can be fitted in a location that is more visible.
One of the best and most popular kinds is a Ghost Immobiliser. It is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It works in a similar manner as your key fob, but does not have any LED indicators or even a button on your steering wheel to indicate its presence. It sits within your vehicle or van and is in direct communication with the ECU.
It's also inaccessible to any vehicle diagnostic tools and will block your vehicle from starting until the correct PIN code is entered. The Ghost Unit is also tamper-proof which means that thieves cannot remove or modify the Ghost Unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser provides great protection for your car or van from key cloning and hacking. This is accomplished by using a PIN code you alone are aware of. You can choose your own sequence to disarm and it can be as short or long as you like. Then, you enter it into the Ghost app on your smartphone when you're planning to drive. The system can be transferred to a different vehicle if you change cars in the course of ownership.
These systems are typically connected to the OBD port and are able to recognize your key fob or key. However, hi-tech thieves have found ways to hack into these systems and make the vehicle start even though the key isn't there. It is for this reason that it is suggested to install a ghost immobiliser. The device will stop your Mercedes from starting until the correct PIN code push sequence is entered. This can be set by you & is only accessible to you and your installer.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser works by preventing your vehicle from starting if you don't enter the correct pin code. It is designed to guard against key cloning, as well as other types of theft common to.
Unlike other security systems that include LED indicators or key-fobs, ghost immobilisers are snoopy and operate silently on the CAN data network. This means that thieves are unable to detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser, even if they are using advanced scans using RF and code-grabbing technology.
The device sits in the engine bay and is connected to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It connects with the buttons that are factory-installed in your vehicle, and allows you to create an unique sequence of buttons to start your vehicle. This can be done through the steering wheel, the door ghost immobiliser 2 immobiliser panels, tracker panels, or through the central console. It can be changed at any time and can include up to 20 digits in the PIN.
Modern vehicles are filled with CAN bus data, which means that thieves can employ a variety of methods to break into your car and disable security systems. One of them is the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port. With the appropriate tools, thieves can access your car's OBD port and use a laptop to deactivate the alarm, then code new keys and 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. This is not detected by vehicle diagnostics and there are no radio signals, making it virtually impossible for thieves to locate and alter the system. The ghost is also invulnerable 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 give your car away for valet parking, or service, without giving anyone your buttons or key fobs. The auto ghost immobiliser will then leave Service mode based on speed and time, or by entering the pin code that you have set up. This is an excellent way to protect your car from high-tech car thieves at work or out on vacation.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser is an CAN bus device. This means it sits within the vehicles CAN data network so it isn't identified by any diagnostic tool that thieves use to scan & attack modern cars. It does not transmit any radio signals, similar to a tracker, so it cannot be detected by anyone but you or your certified installer.
autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser immobiliser differs from other car security systems which rely on key fobs, or LED indicators. It makes use of the buttons inside your vehicle to create a unique sequence of disarming. This sequence can be as long or short as you want, and it must be entered before your J can be driven.
You can change your password whenever you want, so that your vehicle will still be safe even if someone other person gets your keys or even if you forget your PIN for a few days. This is especially useful when you're dropping your car off to be serviced or cleaned or to bring it to a local garage for repairs - you can still drive it without worrying about a criminal taking your vehicle.
The ghost car immobiliser device's smart thief-proof technology is an innovative device. It's an excellent alternative to physical deterrents like wheel clamps or a steering wheel lock. The fact that it does not rely on any external components or emit any signal makes it far more difficult to break than any other immobiliser available today.
The only way that the Ghost can be defeated is physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network. This is something we would not recommend in any way. It is imperative that you choose an TASSA registered Ghost Installations team to perform your installation. Our team are fully qualified and insured, giving you assurance that your new Ghost Car Security system is an authentic Tassa approved product.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser to protect your Lexus. It guards against key-cloning hacking and theft. It creates a discrete pin code push sequence that uses the original buttons of your vehicle. Only you can start your car. The system is completely hidden, sealed and tucked inside the harness of the vehicle, making it untraceable to thieves. If a thief could gain access to the system, they will be prevented from leaving the vehicle based on speed or entering the code. It can also be put into service mode, allowing you to temporarily start & drive your vehicle. This is accomplished via the app or by using a Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and can be removed at any point.
Modern modern day key cloning devices are very easy to purchase online and can allow criminals to take your car and steal it without having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is important especially if your car is costly.
A ghost immobiliser is very different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. Immobilisers fitted by the factory rely on a chip in the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the key or fob and start the engine. Ghost immobilisers add an additional layer of vehicle's security, making it impossible for the engine to start without entering a unique pin number or code. This stops hackers as well as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other methods of unlocking the factory-installed immobiliser.
The best thing about ghost immobilisers is that it is nearly impossible to bypass or hack. It is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a manner that it is not visible to thieves. This is an advantage, as it prevents a stolen car from being used again since it can't start.
This will also stop a car from being towd since the Ghost will automatically lock once it detects a trigger speed of zero mph. This is a great advantage, as it prevents thieves from being in a position to take your ghost and take away your car.
