Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser can protect your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and door lock pick. It makes use of the buttons that are factory-installed on your vehicle (such as the steering wheel control, the centre console and door panel) to generate a unique pin code push.
It is almost impossible to predict this sequence, and the vehicle cannot be started. It also helps prevent the device from spoofing signals and jamming.
No Key Fobs or LED Indicators
Many thieves target keyless vehicles. If they can intercept your vehicle 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 get an immobiliser installed to your car or van. It's just a simple device that stops the engine from starting if you do not have a key or immobiliser code. There are several kinds of immobilisers that are available that are available. Some are designed to be hidden within your vehicle while others are weatherproof and can be fitted in a place that is more noticeable.
One of the most effective and most well-known types is a Ghost Immobiliser. This device is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It functions in a similar manner as a key fob but it doesn't have any LED indicators or buttons on the steering wheel that would signal its presence. It is mounted in your vehicle or van and communicates with the ECU directly.
It's also inaccessible to any diagnostic tools for vehicles and will block your vehicle from beginning until the correct PIN code is entered. The system is also tamper-proof, which means that thieves are unable to take away or alter the Ghost unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser is a great solution to protect your vehicle or van from hacking, key cloning and key theft. This is accomplished by using a PIN code only you know. You can choose 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. If you move cars during your ownership the system can be transferred.
These systems are often linked to the OBD port and are able to identify your key fob and key. However, high-tech thieves have discovered ways to hack these systems and then start the vehicle even when keys are not present. This is the reason it's suggested that you get an immobiliser with ghosts installed. The device will stop your Mercedes from being started unless an appropriate PIN code 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 protect 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 in a silent manner through the CAN data network. This means that thieves are unable to detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser, even if they are using advanced RF scanning and code grabbing technology.
The device is in the engine bay, and is connected to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It is able to communicate with buttons that are factory-installed in your vehicle, and allows you to create an unique sequence of buttons that will start your car. It is entered through the steering wheel as well as the door ghost immobiliser and tracker panels, or even the central console. The PIN can be changed at anytime and can be as long as 20 number of digits.
Modern vehicles are filled with CAN bus data which means that thieves can use various methods to gain access to your car and disable its security systems. One method is to use the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the right tools, thieves can access your car's OBD port and use a laptop to deactivate the alarm, create 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 prevents this from happening by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. The system isn't detected by vehicle diagnostics and also there aren't radio waves. It's nearly impossible for thieves to find it and alter it. The ghost is also resistant to jamming devices which can be used to disable security systems inside your car.
Another fantastic feature of the ghost is the ability to switch it into Service mode, enabling you to hand your car over to valet parking or for servicing without giving anyone keys or buttons. The ghost will exit Service mode based on the speed, time or the pin code that you've set. This is a great way to safeguard your car from high-tech car thieves while working or on vacation.
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 not detectable by any diagnostic tools used by thieves to hack and scan modern vehicles. It does not transmit any radio signals, like a tracker, so it isn't able to be detected by anyone but you or your trained installer.
Ghost immobiliser is different from other car security systems that depend on key fobs or LED indicators. It utilizes the buttons in your vehicle to create a distinct sequence of disarming. This sequence can be as short or long as you like, and it must be entered before your J can be driven.
You can change your password whenever you'd like, meaning that your vehicle will still be secure even if someone other person gets your keys or even if you forget your PIN for several days. This is particularly useful when you drop your vehicle off for cleaning or service or to take it to a local garage for repairs. You can still drive your vehicle without worrying about a thief stealing it.
The advanced thief proofing technology that is included in the Ghost device is a game changer, and makes it an excellent alternative to traditional physical deterrents like a steering wheel lock or wheel clamp. It is more difficult to bypass since it does not rely on any external components and doesn't emit any signal.
The only way that the Ghost can be defeated is through physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network which we would not recommend at all. It is essential that you choose an TASSA registered Ghost Installations team to perform your installation. Our team is highly qualified and insured. This will give you assurance that your Ghost Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa-approved item.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser that secures your Lexus. It shields your car from key-cloning, hacking and key theft. By using the original buttons of your vehicle, it creates a discrete pin code sequence that you can control which means only you can start your vehicle. The system is completely hidden, sealed and tucked inside the harness of the vehicle and is therefore inaccessible to thieves. If a burglar could gain access, they would be prevented moving away based on speed or entering the code. You can also switch it into service mode to temporarily start and drive your vehicle. This is done via the app or a Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and is able to be removed at any point.
Key cloning online is frequent and allows thieves to take cars without even having the original keys. This is why having an immobiliser installed is crucial, particularly in the event that you have spent a lot of money on your prized possession.
Ghost immobilisers are different to the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. Immobilisers that are factory-fitted use chips inside the ECU to communicate with a fob or a key and then start the car. Ghost immobilisers prevent this by putting 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 being entered. This prevents hacking as well as device spoofing, signal jamming and other methods to unlock a factory fitted immobiliser.
The most appealing thing about a ghost immobiliser? It is nearly impossible to bypass it or hack it. This is because the ghost immobiliser is connected to the CAN bus, and it operates in a manner that is not visible to thieves. This is a huge advantage, as it prevents a stolen car from being driven again because it can't start.
It will also prevent the towing of a vehicle because the Ghost will automatically lock once it detects a trigger speed of 0mph. This is an excellent advantage, as it prevents a thief to be in a position to take your ghost, and then tow away your vehicle.
