Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It also helps to prevent door lock picking. It uses the vehicle's factory buttons (such as the steering wheel control, door panel & centre console) to create a unique pin code sequence that you can change each time you use the.
It is virtually impossible to predict this sequence, so the vehicle is not able to start. It also helps prevent the device from spoofing signals and jamming.
No Key Fobs or LED Signs
Many thieves target vehicles with keys. If they are able to intercept the vehicle's key signal or copy your key fob they could use it to allow your car to start and drive away. This is why it's a good idea to have an immobiliser fitted to your car or van. It's an easy device that prevents the engine from starting without a key or an immobiliser code. There are many kinds of immobilisers available that are available. Some are designed to be hidden inside your vehicle, while others are weatherproof and can be placed in a location that is more noticeable.
Ghost Immobilisers are one of the most sought-after and most reliable kinds. This is an immobiliser that is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It operates in a similar way like a key fob but it doesn't have any LED indicators or buttons on the steering wheel to signal its presence. It is installed in your van or car, and communicates with the ECU directly.
The system is also tamper-proof, meaning it is not possible for a burglar to take away or alter the ghost unit. The system is also tamper-proof, so it's impossible for thieves to alter or remove the ghost unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser is a fantastic solution because it shields your car or van from hacking, key cloning and key theft. It does this by using an individual PIN code that only you know. You can choose your own disarm sequence and it can be as short or long as you want. You can then enter this into the Ghost app on your smartphone when you're planning to drive. If you change vehicles during the ownership period the system can be transferred.
These systems are typically connected to the OBD port, so that they can identify your key fob and key. Hi-tech thieves, however, have found ways to hack these systems and then start the vehicle even if keys are not present. This is why it's suggested to get a ghost immobiliser installation. The device will be able to stop your Mercedes from starting until a specific PIN code push sequence is entered. You can set this and only you and your installer will know it.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser stops your car from being started without the proper pin code. It is designed to guard against key cloning and other forms of theft that are common.
Unlike other security systems that include key-fobs or LED indicators ghost immobilisers are snoopy and operate silently on the CAN data network. This means that thieves are unable to find a ghost immobiliser even when they employ advanced scanning RF or code grabbing technologies.
The device is located in the engine bay and is connected to the ECU. It connects to factory buttons on your vehicle, allowing you to create a unique button sequence that is used to authorize the start-up of your vehicle. It is entered through the steering wheel as well as the door ghost immobiliser and tracker panels, as well as the central console. The PIN can be changed at any time and can be as long as 20 numbers.
Modern cars are filled with CAN bus information that means thieves can use different ways to hack your vehicle and disable security systems. One method involves the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port. With the appropriate tools, thieves can access your car's OBD port and utilize a laptop to disable the alarm, then code new keys, and then drive it away. This type of hack is highly efficient and can be accomplished in just a few minutes.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. This is undetectable by vehicle diagnostics and there are no radio signals, which makes it nearly impossible for thieves to discover and tamper with the system. Ghosts are also resistant to jamming devices which can be used to disable security systems inside your car.
You can also switch the ghost into Service mode. This allows you to offer your car for valet parking, or service, without giving anyone your buttons or key fobs. The ghost will leave the Service mode according to speed, time or entering the pin code you have set. This is a great method to safeguard your car from thieves who use high-tech technology while working or on vacation.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser is a CAN bus device which means it is part of the vehicle's CAN data networks so it isn't detected by any diagnostic tools that thieves use to scan & hack into modern cars. It does not transmit any radio signals, similar to trackers, and therefore isn't able to be detected by anyone other than you or your expert installer.
In contrast to other security systems for cars that rely on LED indicators or key fobs, the Ghost immobiliser works by utilising the buttons that are already present in your vehicle (either the steering wheel, ghost immobiliser dashboard or door locks) to create a unique disarm sequence you decide to use. The 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, making sure that even if you give someone else your keys or forget your own PIN for a couple of days, your car is still secure. This is especially helpful when you are dropping your car off to be serviced or cleaned or you have to bring it to a local garage to be repaired - you can continue driving it without worrying about a criminal taking your vehicle.
The smart thief proof technology of the Ghost device is a game changer and makes it an excellent alternative to traditional physical deterrents, such as a steering wheel lock or wheel clamp. It is more difficult to bypass because it does not use any external components and doesn't emit any signal.
The only way the Ghost can be defeated is physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network, which we would not recommend in any way. This is why it's crucial to ensure that your installation is carried out by a TASSA registered TASSA Registered Ghost Installations team. Our team is fully qualified and insured. This provides you with peace of mind knowing your Ghost Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa-approved item.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser to secure your Lexus. It shields your car from hacking, key-cloning and key theft. Utilizing the original buttons on your vehicle, it creates a discreet pin code push sequence that you control, so only you can start your vehicle. The system is fully concealed, sealed and tucked into the vehicles harness making it completely undetectable to thieves. If a thief could gain access to the system, they will be prevented from driving away based upon the speed of their vehicle or entering the code. It is also possible to put it into service mode, allowing you to temporarily begin and drive your vehicle. This can be done with the app or using a Bluetooth tag that is available separately. It can also be removed at any point.
Online key cloning is very common and allows criminals to steal cars without even having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is crucial, especially if your car is costly.
A ghost immobiliser is very different to the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. Immobilisers that are factory fitted depend on a chip inside the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the key or fob and start the engine. Ghost immobilisers add an extra layer to your vehicle's security that makes it impossible for the engine to start without entering a specific code or pin number. This also prevents hacking, device spoofing and signal jamming, which are all methods that can be used to unlock a normal factory fitted immobiliser.
The best thing about a ghost immobiliser is that it is near impossible to hack or bypass. It is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a way that it is not visible to thieves. This is an advantage, as it keeps a stolen vehicle from being driven again because it can't start.
This also stops a car from being tow away since the Ghost will automatically lock when it reads the trigger speed of 0mph. This is another great benefit as it will stop thieves from being able to take away the ghost and tow your vehicle away.
