5 Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation Myths You Should Stay Clear Of

Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation

A Ghost immobiliser helps protect your vehicle from hacking, key cloning & door lock picking. It works by using the vehicles factory buttons (such as steering wheel control, door panel & the central console) to create an unique pin code sequence that you can change every time you use it.

It is virtually impossible to predict this sequence, which is why the vehicle is not able to start. Additionally, it helps prevent signal jamming & device spoofing.

No key fobs or LED indicators.

Many thieves target vehicles that are keyless. If they can intercept the signal from your vehicle keys, or even duplicate your key fob, they could use it to start your vehicle and then drive away with it. This is why it's a good idea to get an immobiliser installed on your van or car. It's an easy device that prevents the engine from running without the use of a key or immobiliser code. There are several types of immobilisers on the market. 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 among the most popular and best types. It is an weatherproof device that connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It works in a similar manner to your key fob but does not feature any LEDs or even a button on the steering wheel to signal its presence. It is mounted in your car or van and connects to the ECU directly.

The system is also tamper-proof, meaning that it is impossible for a burglar to take away or alter the ghost unit. The Ghost Unit is also tamper-proof meaning that a thief cannot take away or alter the Ghost unit.

The Ghost Immobiliser is a great solution as it protects your car or van from hacking, key cloning and key theft. This is done by using a PIN code only you know. You can choose your own sequence to disarm that can be as short or long as you want. Then, you enter it into the Ghost application on your smartphone to begin driving. The system can be transferred to a new vehicle if you switch cars in the course of owning it.

These systems are typically connected to the OBD port and are able to identify your key fob and key. However, hackers with high-tech devices have found ways to hack into these systems and make the vehicle start even though the key isn't present. It is for this reason that it is suggested to install a ghost immobiliser. The device will be able to stop your Mercedes from starting unless a specific PIN code push sequence is entered. This can be set by you, and is only available to you and your installer.

No OBD Port Hacking

The ghost immobiliser works by preventing your car from starting if you do not enter the correct pin code. It's designed to protect your vehicle against key cloning and other common forms of theft.

Unlike other security systems that feature key-fobs or LED indicators ghost immobilisers are snoopy and operate in a silent manner using the CAN data network. This means that thieves are unable to find a ghost immobiliser even using advanced scans using RF or code-grabbing technologies.

The device is located in the engine bay and connected to the ECU. It connects with the buttons that are factory-installed in your vehicle, and allows you to create an unique sequence of buttons to start your car. It is entered through the steering wheel, door ghost immobiliser and tracker panels, or even the centre console. The PIN can be changed at anytime and can be as long as 20 number of digits.

Modern cars are awash with CAN bus data, which means that thieves can employ a variety of methods to gain access to your car and disable its security systems. One of them is the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port. With the right tools, thieves can access your vehicle's OBD port and use a laptop to deactivate the alarm, then code new keys and then drive away. This method is highly effective and can be done in a matter of minutes.

The Autowatch Ghost 2 Immobiliser (Http://Www.Stscrap.Kr/Gb5/Bbs/Board.Php?Bo_Table=Consult_200707&Wr_Id=289984) Ghost immobiliser stops this by communicating with the ECU through the CAN data network. This is not detected by vehicle diagnostics, and there are no radio signals, which makes it virtually impossible for thieves to discover and alter the system. Additionally the ghost is immune to jamming devices that can be used to disable other security systems inside your vehicle.

You can also enter the ghost into Service mode. This allows you to offer your car for valet parking or for service, without giving anyone your buttons or key fobs. The ghost will exit Service mode based upon the speed, duration or the pin code that you've set. This is a great method to safeguard 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 an CAN bus device, which means it is part of the vehicle's CAN data networks which means it is not detected by any diagnostic tools that thieves use to scan and hack into modern cars. It doesn't transmit radio signals, like the tracker, which means it isn't able to be detected by anyone other than you or your expert installer.

Contrary to other car security systems which rely on LEDs or key fobs the Ghost immobiliser makes use of the buttons already in your vehicle (either the steering wheel or the dashboard, or door locks) to create a unique sequence of disarming that you can select. The sequence can be set to any length you like and must be entered before the J can be driven.

You can change your PIN at any time, ensuring that even if you hand someone else your keys or forget your PIN for a couple of days, your car is still secure. This is particularly useful when you drop your vehicle off for cleaning or service or to take it to an auto repair shop in the area to make repairs. You are able to drive your car without worrying about a criminal stealing it.

The Ghost device's thief-proofing technology is an absolute game changer. It's a great alternative to physical deterrents, such as the wheel clamp or wheel lock. The fact that it doesn't depend on any external components or emit any signal makes it more difficult to thwart than any other immobiliser system on the market today.

We don't recommend altering your CAN data wiring in any way. This is why it is crucial to ensure that your installation is completed by a certified TASSA Ghost Installations team that is registered. Our team is certified 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 a new immobiliser for your Lexus. It shields your car from hacking, key-cloning and key theft. By using the original buttons of your vehicle, it creates a discreet pin code push sequence that you control, so only you can start your car. The system is fully hidden, sealed & tucked into the vehicles harness making it completely undetectable to thieves. If a thief could gain access, they would be stopped from driving away by speed or entering the PIN code. You can also switch it into service mode to temporarily start and drive your vehicle. This is accomplished via the app or a Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and is able to be removed at any time.

Key cloning online is common and allows criminals to steal cars without having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is crucial, especially if your car is expensive.

A ghost immobiliser differs from the factory immobiliser you get in your vehicle. Standard factory fitted immobilisers depend on a chip inside the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the key or fob and start the engine. Ghost immobilisers prevent this by adding an additional layer of security to your vehicle that makes it impossible to start the engine without a unique pin number or code sequence entered. This blocks hacking as well as device spoofing, signal jamming and other methods to unlock an immobiliser that is factory fitted.

The best part about a ghost immobiliser? It is virtually impossible to disable it or hack it. It is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a manner that it is not visible to thieves. This is a huge benefit because it means that a car that has been stolen will not be capable of being stolen in the future since it will not be able to start.

This will also prevent a car from being towd since the Ghost will lock automatically once it detects a trigger speed of 0mph. This is a huge benefit, as it prevents thieves from being able to remove your ghost and tow away your vehicle.
