Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser shields your vehicle against key hacking and cloning. It also helps prevent door lock picking. It works by using the vehicles buttons from the factory (such as steering wheel control, door panel & the centre console) to create a unique pin code push sequence that is changeable each time you use it.
This makes it almost impossible to guess the sequence so that the vehicle can't be driven away or started. It also stops signal jamming and device spoofing.
No key fobs or LED indicators.
Car theft is a huge issue with a lot of thieves targeting keyless vehicles. If they can get your vehicle key signal or copy your key fob, they could use it to get your car to start and drive away. Installing an immobiliser in your van or car is a smart idea. It's a basic device that stops the engine from starting if you don't have a key or an immobiliser code. There are a few different types of immobilisers on the market. Some are designed to be hidden in your car whilst others are weatherproof and are able to be installed in a place that is more visible.
One of the best and most well-known kinds is a Ghost Immobiliser. It is weatherproof and connects to your vehicle's CAN network. It operates in a similar way like a key fob however, it does not have LED indicators or buttons on the steering wheel that would signal its presence. It sits within your car or van and connects directly with the ECU.
The system is also tamper-proof meaning that it is impossible for a burglar to take out or alter the ghost unit. The system is also tamper proof so it's impossible for a thief to remove or modify the ghost unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser provides excellent security measure for your car or van against key cloning and hacking. It does this by using a unique PIN code that only you are aware of. You can pick your own sequence to disarm and it can be as short or long as you'd like. Then, you enter it into the Ghost application on your phone to begin driving. The system can be transferred to a different vehicle if you switch cars in the course of ownership.
The majority of these systems are connected to the OBD port so that it can recognise your key or fob. However, hackers with high-tech devices have discovered ways to hack into these systems and make the vehicle start even though the key isn't in. This is the reason that it's recommended to install an immobiliser that is ghost. The device can prevent your Mercedes from being started unless a certain PIN code is entered. This can be set by you and is only known to you and your installer.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser blocks your vehicle from starting without the correct pin code. It is designed to protect against key cloning, as well as other forms of theft that are common.
Ghost immobilisers operate quietly and slyly over the CAN data network, unlike other security systems with LED indicators or key fobs. This means that thieves can't detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser, even if they are using advanced RF scanning and code grabbing technology.
The device is located in the engine bay and connected to the ECU. It connects to the factory buttons on your vehicle, allowing you to create an individual button sequence that will allow the car to start up. This can be done through the steering wheel, door ghost immobilisers, the tracker panels, or through the central console. The PIN can be changed at any time and can be as long as 20 numbers.
Modern vehicles are flooded with CAN bus data, which means that thieves can use various methods to break into your car and disable security systems. One of these methods is through the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port. With the right tools thieves can gain access to the OBD port of your vehicle and use a laptop in order to deactivate your car's alarm, code new key and then drive away. This hack is very efficient and can be accomplished in a matter of 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 does not emit radio waves. It is almost impossible for thieves to locate it and then tamper with it. The ghost is also resistant to jamming devices, which could be used to disable security systems within your car.
You can also put the ghost into Service mode. This lets you offer your car for valet parking or for service, without giving anyone your keys or button fobs. The ghost will exit Service mode according to the speed, time or the pin code you've set. This is a great method to protect your vehicle from thieves who use high-tech technology while you are at work or away on holiday.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser is based on CAN bus technology, which means that it is embedded within the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that it is inaccessible to any diagnostic tools employed by thieves to scan and hack into modern vehicles. It does not transmit any radio signals like a tracker so it is inaccessible to anyone other than you or your certified installer.
Ghost immobiliser is distinct from other security systems for cars that depend on key fobs or LED indicators. It uses the buttons inside your vehicle to create a distinct sequence of disarming. The sequence can be set to any length you like and must be entered prior to the J can be driven.
You can change your PIN at any time, making sure that even if you give another person your keys or forget your own PIN for a couple of days, your car is still secure. This is especially helpful when you're preparing to drop your vehicle off to be cleaned or serviced or to take it to a local garage for repairs - you'll be able to still drive it with no worries about a criminal stealing your vehicle.
The thief-proofing technology in the Ghost device is a real game changer and makes it an excellent alternative to traditional physical deterrents such as a steering wheel lock or wheel clamp. The fact that it does not rely on any external components or emit any signals makes it far more difficult to thwart 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 do not recommend at all. It is imperative to use an TASSA registered Ghost Installations team to carry out your installation. 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 a new immobiliser for your Lexus. It safeguards against key-cloning hacking as well as theft. Utilizing autowatch ghost immobiliser on your vehicle, it creates a discreet pin code push sequence that you control and only you are able to start your car. The system is completely concealed and sealed in the vehicle harness and is therefore inaccessible to thieves. If a burglar was able to access the system, they would be stopped from driving away by speed or entering the PIN code. It can also be put into service mode, which allows you to temporarily start and drive your vehicle. This is done via the app or the Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and can be removed at any time.
Online key cloning is very widespread and allows criminals to steal vehicles without having the original keys. This is why having an immobiliser installed is essential, especially if you have spent a lot of money on your prized possession.
A ghost immobiliser is very different to the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. Standard factory-fitted immobilisers use an internal chip in the ECU to communicate with a fob or key, and start the car. Ghost immobilisers prevent this by adding an extra layer of security to your vehicle that makes it impossible to start the engine without having a unique pin number or code sequence entered. This also stops hacking or device spoofing as well as signal jamming which are all methods that could be employed to unlock a standard factory fitted immobiliser.
The greatest benefit of a ghost immobiliser is that it is near impossible to bypass or hack. This is because the ghost immobiliser is connected to the CAN bus, and it operates in a way that is invisible to thieves. This is a huge benefit because it means that a vehicle that has been stolen won't be capable of being stolen in the future since it won't be able start.
It also prevents a vehicle from being towed away as the Ghost will automatically lock once it has the trigger speed of 0mph. This is a huge benefit, since it stops thieves from being able to remove your ghost, and then take away your car.
