Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser helps protect your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and door lock pick. It uses the buttons on the factory of your vehicle (such as the steering wheel control, the 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 can't be started or driven away. It also prevents signal jamming and device spoofing.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications
Car theft is a massive issue with a lot of thieves targeting keyless vehicles. If they can get your vehicle's key signal, or copy your key fob, they can use it for your car to start, and drive away. This is why it's a great idea to have an immobiliser added to your vehicle or van. It's an easy device that prevents the engine from running without a key or an immobiliser code. There are several types of immobilisers on the market. Some immobilisers are designed to be hidden inside your car, while others are weatherproof. They can be installed at a higher-visibility location.
One of the best and most popular types is a Ghost immobiliser. It's a weatherproof device that connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It functions in a similar manner as a key fob however, it does not have LED indicators or buttons on the steering wheel that would indicate its presence. It is installed in your van or car and connects to the ECU directly.
It's also inaccessible to any diagnostic tool for vehicles and will block your vehicle from starting until the correct PIN code is entered. The system is also tamperproof, which means that thieves are unable to remove or modify the Ghost Unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser is a fantastic solution as it protects your van or car from hacking, key cloning and key theft. This is accomplished by using a PIN code that only you know. You select a sequence to disarm that you can program yourself and it can be as short or long as you like. Then, you type it into the Ghost application on your smartphone to begin driving. The system can be transferred to a new vehicle if you move during the lifetime of ownership.
These systems are typically connected to the OBD port, so that they can recognise your key fob or key. However, hackers with high-tech skills have found ways to hack these systems and start the vehicle even if the key isn't present. It is for this reason that it is suggested to install a ghost immobiliser. The device will stop your Mercedes from starting unless a specific 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 prevents your car from starting without the correct pin code. It is designed to safeguard your vehicle against key cloning and other common forms of theft.
In contrast to other security systems that have keys-fobs or LED indicators, ghost immobilisers are hidden and operate completely silently on the CAN data network. This means that thieves cannot detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser, even if they use advanced technology for RF scanning and code grabbing technology.
The device is located in the engine bay, connected to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It is connected to the factory buttons on your vehicle, allowing you to create a unique button sequence that allows start-up of your car. This can be done through the steering wheel, the door ghost immobiliser panels, tracker panels, or even the centre console. It can be changed at any point and include up to 20 digits in the PIN.
Modern vehicles are filled with CAN bus data which means that thieves are able to use various methods to hack into your car and disable its security systems. One of them is the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the right tools, thieves can access the OBD port of your vehicle and make use of a laptop to disable your car's alarm, code new key and then drive away. This method is highly effective and can be accomplished in a matter of minutes.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. This system is not detectable by vehicle diagnostics, and there are no radio waves. It's almost impossible for thieves to find it and alter it. The ghost is also resistant to jamming devices which can be used to disable other security systems in your vehicle.
Another fantastic feature of the ghost is the ability to enter it into Service mode, allowing you to turn your vehicle over to valet parking or for servicing without giving anyone keys or buttons. The ghost will then exit Service mode according to speed and time or by entering the pin code you've set up. This is a great way to safeguard your vehicle from thieves who use high-tech technology while you are working or on holiday.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser is based on the CAN bus system, which means that it is embedded within the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that it is inaccessible to any diagnostic tools that thieves use to hack and scan modern vehicles. It doesn't transmit radio signals, similar to a tracker, so it cannot be detected by anyone other than you or your certified installer.
Unlike other car security systems that rely on LED indications or key fobs, the Ghost immobiliser works by utilising the buttons in your vehicle (either the steering wheel, dashboard or door locks) to create a unique sequence of disarming that you choose. This sequence can be set to any length you wish and must be entered prior to the J can be driven.
You can change your PIN at any time you'd like, meaning that your vehicle will still be secure even if someone other person gets your keys or in the event that you forget your password for a few days. This is particularly important when you drop your car off for service or cleaning, or if you have to take it to an auto repair shop in the area to make repairs. You can still drive your car without worrying about a criminal stealing it.
The thief-proofing technology in the Ghost device is a game changer, and makes it a fantastic alternative to traditional physical deterrents, such as the locking of a steering wheel or wheel clamp. It is harder to deter because it does not use any external components and does not emit any signal.
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. This is why it is essential to make sure that your installation is completed by an approved TASSA Ghost Installations team that is registered. Our team is highly qualified and insured. This will give you peace of mind knowing your Ghost Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa-approved product.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser to protect your Lexus. It protects against key-cloning hacking as well as theft. It creates a discrete pin code push sequence using the original buttons of your car. Only you can start your vehicle. The system is completely concealed, sealed and tucked into the vehicles harness making it totally undetectable to thieves. If a criminal managed to gain access to the system, they will be prevented from driving away based upon the speed of their vehicle or entering the code. You can also put it into service mode so that it can temporarily start and drive your vehicle. This can be accomplished using the app or a Bluetooth tag that is sold separately. It is also able to be removed at any time.
Key cloning online is frequent and allows criminals to steal vehicles without having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is crucial particularly if your vehicle is expensive.
ghost immobiliser fitting near me is very different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your vehicle. Standard factory fitted immobilisers depend on a chip within the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the key or fob and to start the engine. Ghost immobilisers prevent this by adding an additional layer of security to your vehicle. It makes it impossible to start the engine without having a unique pin number or code sequence entered. This also prevents hacking, device spoofing and signal jamming, which are all methods that could be employed to unlock a standard factory fitted immobiliser.
The most appealing thing about ghost immobilisers is that it is nearly impossible to bypass it or hack it. This is because the ghost immobiliser is linked to CAN bus and is operated in a way that is not visible to thieves. This is a huge benefit because it means that a vehicle that was stolen won't be capable of being stolen and again since it won't be able start.
It will also prevent the towing of a vehicle because the Ghost will lock automatically once it has read that trigger speed of 0mph. This is another great benefit as it will stop the thief from being able remove the ghost and then tow your car away.
