Ghost 2 Immobiliser Problems

It stops you from starting your car unless you enter the correct sequence of buttons in your vehicle. This is similar to the mobile password.

Stop/Start

Ghost Immobilisers stop vehicles being stolen by blocking the engine from starting until it is issued the correct PIN code. This is accomplished without any modifications to the vehicle, and is totally undetectable to thieves. The unit communicates directly with the ECU via the CAN databus in order to disable the vehicle. This is similar to that used by car manufacturers for years. However, thieves are unable to bypass it with a new key, or key relay technology, as they can do with factory-installed systems.

A Ghost can be fitted to any car, van, motorhome, caravan or bicycle that has an engine and is compatible with all major brands of vehicles. The same system can also be used on electric cars. It is an excellent alternative to steering wheel locks and wheel clamps that can be installed with minimal effort.

When the Ghost is activated, it will block all the buttons in your vehicle and stop the ignition from being started unless a PIN code has been entered first. This can be done using the Android or Apple mobile app or by entering the code using your key fob. If a code that is incorrectly entered the app will show an indicator light and the Ghost will not allow the vehicle to be started again. This is a great deterrent and if the vehicle can't be started the thief will move on to another victim.

The Ghost is a small, weatherproof device that can be hidden away in the most inaccessible areas of your vehicle. It is extremely simple to install with an average of 20-30 minutes for each vehicle.

Disarm

In contrast to the mechanical anti-theft devices, which are able to be removed and reinstalled, ghost immobilisers are concealed and integrated into the vehicle. They are virtually impossible to bypass or hack and, even if they are discovered, a burglar will not be able to start the engine. This is because a ghost immobiliser prevents key blocking, signal jamming, and device spoofing - methods that are used frequently by thieves to gain entry into vehicles with standard immobilisers.

An immobiliser works by sending an instruction to the ECU (electronic control unit). If the incorrect code is received, the vehicle will not start since the engine won't start. It is possible to disable a ghost immobiliser with an application program, but it would be extremely time-consuming and difficult to accomplish this. Only an authorised installer can install and use the software.

The Ghost immobiliser, which is a tiny device, is hidden in the wiring loom of the vehicle. It is inaccessible to the naked eyes once installed. It is not visible on diagnostic systems, there aren't LED indicators and it will not communicate with the engine via the OBD port. It communicates in silence via the CAN data loop.

The system will block the vehicle from starting until it is given a specific PIN code sequence. This is entered through buttons on the steering wheel and door panels as well as the central console. This is a more secure way to safeguard your car as it does not require keys or a remote control.

The Ghost offers an additional level of security that prevents common hacking methods used to gain entry to modern vehicles like relay attacks and key range extending. This is due to the fact that the ghost ii immobiliser system is completely silent and does not emit any signals that can be picked up by thieves using RF scanning or code grabbing technology.
