Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation: What No One Is Discussing
Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser ghost helps protect your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and door lock picking. It utilizes the factory buttons on your vehicle (such as the steering wheel control, centre console and door panel) to generate a unique pin code that you can push.
This makes it almost impossible to determine the sequence so that the vehicle cannot be driven away or even started. Additionally, it helps prevent signal jamming and device spoofing.
No Key Fobs or LED Indicators
Many thieves target vehicles with keys. If they can get your vehicle's key signal, or duplicate your key fob, they could use it to allow your car to start, and drive away. Installing an immobiliser on your vehicle or van is a good idea. It's a basic device that stops the engine from starting if you don't have a key or immobiliser code. There are many different kinds of immobilisers available. Some are designed to be hidden within your vehicle, while others are weatherproof. They can be placed in a more visible area.
Ghost Immobilisers are one of the most sought-after and most reliable models. It is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It functions in the same manner to your key fob but does not have any LED indicators or even an indicator on the steering wheel to signal its presence. It is installed in your vehicle or van and communicates with the ECU directly.
The system is also tamper-proof, meaning it is not possible for a criminal to take away or alter the ghost unit. The system is also tamper proof meaning that it's impossible for a thief to remove or modify the ghost device.
The Ghost Immobiliser provides excellent protection for your vehicle or van from key cloning and hacking. This is accomplished by using a PIN code only you know. You choose a disarm sequence that you can set yourself and it can be as long or as short as you want. You can then enter this into the Ghost app on your smartphone when you're planning to drive. The system can be transferred to a new vehicle if you switch cars during the lifetime of owning it.
These systems are often linked to the OBD port, so that they can identify your key fob and key. However, high-tech thieves have discovered ways to hack these systems and then start the vehicle even if the key is not present. This is why it's suggested that you get an immobiliser with ghosts installed. The device can prevent your Mercedes from starting unless a certain PIN code is entered. This can be set by you, and is only accessible to you and your installer.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser prevents your vehicle from starting if you don't enter the correct pin code. It is designed to protect against key cloning, and other common forms theft.
Ghost immobilisers work silently and slyly via the CAN data network, which is different from other security systems equipped with LED indicators or key fobs. This means that thieves are unable to detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser even if they use advanced RF scanning and code grabbing technology.
The device is located in the engine bay, and is connected to the ECU. It is connected to the buttons that are factory-installed in your vehicle and allows you to create an unique sequence of buttons that will start your car. This can be entered via the steering wheel as well as the door ghost immobiliser and tracker panels, as well as the center console. The PIN can be changed at any time and can include up to 20 number of digits.
Modern vehicles are stuffed with CAN bus-related information, which means thieves have various methods to hack your car ghost immobiliser and disable the security systems. One of them is the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the right tools, thieves are able to access the OBD port of your car and utilize a laptop to disable your car's alarm and then code a new key, then drive away. This method is highly effective and can be done in a matter of 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 nearly impossible for thieves to locate and alter the system. In addition the ghost is invincible to jamming devices which can be used to block other security systems in your car.
Another great feature of the ghost is that you can switch it into Service mode, which allows you to hand your car over to valet parking or for servicing without giving anyone keys or buttons. The ghost will exit the Service mode according to the speed, time or the pin code that you have set. This is a great method to safeguard your vehicle from high tech car thieves when you are at work or away on holiday.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser is an CAN bus device, which means it is part of the vehicle's CAN data network meaning it cannot be identified by any diagnostic tool that criminals use to scan and hack into modern cars. It does not transmit any radio signals, such as a tracker, so it cannot be detected by anyone but you or your trained installer.
Contrary to other car security systems which rely on LEDs or key fobs, the Ghost immobiliser works by utilising the buttons that are already present in your vehicle (either the steering wheel, dashboard or door locks) to create a unique disarm sequence you decide to use. The sequence can be adjusted to any length you like and must be entered before the J can be driven.
You can change your PIN at any time, making sure that even if you hand another person your keys or forget your own PIN for a few hours or so, your vehicle is safe. This is particularly useful for when you're preparing to drop your car off to be cleaned or serviced or to take it to a local garage to be repaired - you can still drive it without worrying about a criminal taking your vehicle.
The Ghost device's thief-proofing technology is an innovative device. It's an excellent alternative to physical deterrents such as wheel clamps or a steering wheel lock. The fact that it doesn't depend on any external components or emit any signals makes it much more difficult to thwart than any other immobiliser system available today.
The only way the Ghost can be defeated is physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network which we do not recommend at all. This is why it is crucial to ensure that your installation is carried out by an approved TASSA Registered Ghost Installations team. Our team is fully qualified and insured. This provides you with assurance that your Ghost Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa approved product.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser that secures your Lexus. It protects your car from key-cloning, hacking and key theft. It creates a discrete pin code push sequence using the original buttons of your car. Only you can start your car. The system is fully hidden, sealed & hidden within the harness of the vehicle, which makes it unnoticeable to thieves. If a criminal was able to access the system, they would be unable to driving away depending on the speed or the PIN code. It is also possible to put it into service mode, allowing you to temporarily begin and drive your vehicle. This can be done through the app or by using a Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and can be removed at any time.
Key cloning online is frequent and allows criminals to steal vehicles without having the original keys. This is why having an immobiliser installed is essential, especially when you've spent a lot of money on your prized possession.
A ghost vehicle immobiliser immobiliser differs from the factory immobiliser you get with your vehicle. Immobilisers that are factory fitted depend on a chip inside the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the fob or key and to start the engine. Ghost immobilisers prevent this by adding an additional layer of security to your vehicle, making it impossible to start the engine without a unique pin number or code sequence entered. This also stops hacking, device spoofing and signal jamming which are all methods that could be used to unlock a regular factory fitted immobiliser.
The greatest benefit of a ghost immobiliser? It is nearly impossible to bypass it or hack it. It is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a manner that can't be seen by thieves. This is a great advantage, as it prevents the vehicle that was stolen from being driven back because it can't start.
It will also prevent the towing of a vehicle since the Ghost will automatically lock once it detects a trigger speed of 0mph. This is an excellent benefit, as it prevents thieves from being able to remove your ghost, and then tow away your vehicle.
