The Ultimate Glossary Of Terms For Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation

Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser Installation

Ghost immobilisers are the newest technology in vehicle security. They are revolutionary as they protect your vehicle from key cloning and hacking.

The system uses a unique disarm sequence, which requires the correct PIN code to start your vehicle. This is accomplished by pressing the buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel.

TASSA Approved

The TASSA-certified Ghost-II CAN from Autowatch is an innovative device that is designed to tackle the latest car crime trends including key cloning, hacking and other types of theft. This innovative system connects directly to your vehicle's CAN data network, which prevents your vehicle from being driven or started without the proper code. The system is undetectable, and does not make use of radio frequencies or key fobs. Instead, it allows you to create your own unique sequence of PINs with buttons on your dashboard or steering wheel, which you are able to alter at any time. The PIN can be as long as up to 20 presses long to ensure maximum security. A secure emergency code is also included.

The system communicates with the vehicle's CAN data network to determine the moment a particular PIN is entered. It then sends a signal back to the vehicle, which disables ignition and engine and shuts down crucial components like the starter motor and fuel pump. The system also offers a 'valet mode', allowing you to deactivate the system and stop your car from being driven by valets or service centre personnel who do not have the correct key.

The Ghost device is distinct from traditional immobilisers that can be disarmed using professional diagnostic tools. It uses the onboard network to communicate with ECUs and cannot be tampered. It's a sealed unit, so it is impossible to listen into the circuits, which makes it virtually impossible for thieves to detect the distinctive clicking sound that traditional immobiliser relays make.

This technology is also not susceptible to jamming devices used by high-tech thieves. Additionally, because it is based on the CAN data network it's also not detectable by other diagnostic tools. This means it's a perfect anti-theft solution for every modern car.

Insurance Approved

The Ghost is an aftermarket security device that shields your vehicle from the kinds of thieves who are looking to steal your car. It works by preventing the engine from running until a specific sequence of buttons are pressed. The only person to know the sequence is you. If your vehicle is stolen and the thieves are able to start it and leave your vehicle in peace in fear. Ghosts have a silent mode that turns off the vehicle when not in use. It can be disabled by pressing a button.

The system is fully approved by TASSA, which means that some insurance companies will recognize it as an additional security measure for your car. It can be added alongside other Thatcham approved security measures, such as trackers to help prevent your car from being stolen and gives you peace of mind.

The system also communicates with the ECU of your vehicle via the CAN data loop, which is completely inaudible to diagnostic tools. This means a thief cannot simply change a key or replace the ECU to bypass the Ghost. The system will only begin to start your car if you enter the correct pin code. This unique pin code is only known to you and is able to be changed at any time.

The ghost alarm installation is an immobiliser that can easily be incorporated into any vehicle without the need for additional key fobs or wiring. It is directly linked to the vehicle's CAN network, and a PIN code is programmed using the buttons on the dashboard and the steering wheel. This code will prevent the vehicle from starting unless the correct sequence of events has been chosen first. If the code is guessable it is possible to use secure emergency codes that can be reset via your mobile phone. In addition to this it is possible to use an easy-to-use application available for iOS and Android which eliminates the need to enter your pin on every occasion, ensuring more secure and hassle-free security.

Discreet

An immobiliser, unlike a GPS tracker, which helps you locate your car after it's been stolen, prevents the vehicle from ever being stolen in the first place. This is accomplished by stopping the engine from running until the proper code is received through the key fob or via an app downloaded to the smartphone. This is a fantastic way to avoid wheel-jacking as well as other thefts, as the thief is forced to leave the car in its place or risk being taken into custody.

The ghost immobiliser, a tiny weatherproof device, is tucked away in the wiring harness of your vehicle. It connects to the CAN data network, and is concealed so that thieves are unable to locate it or disable it with simple wire cutting. The system has a service-mode that can be set to let your garage work on your vehicle without needing to know the password.

Once you have the device fitted to your vehicle you'll be able arm and disarm it with your smartphone via its dedicated application. You can even alter the PIN code at any point to ensure that only you have access to your vehicle. This is helpful if you plan to sell your car in the near future, as it will increase the price of resales.

The Ghost immobiliser also has a great feature: it is discreet and won't leave any marks on the interior body of your vehicle which makes it an ideal addition to any car. It's simple to install, operates quietly and won't interfere with other systems in your car.

Many people are placing more focus on the appearance of their cars, so having a discreet immobiliser can improve the appearance and feel of your car. This is particularly useful for those who use their vehicle to transport valuable items, because it will stop potential thieves. Ghost immobilisers work alongside other anti-theft systems like trackers to provide unrivalled security for your car.

Low Maintenance

A Ghost immobiliser works by connecting directly to your CAN data network and is virtually undetectable since it doesn't employ any LED indicators or other key fobs. It does not emit radio signals, and it is also silent so thieves can't hear it. It can be placed in a variety of locations (even under the floor mats) and is a great choice for those who want to safeguard their vehicle without sacrificing its appearance.

This device blocks you from starting your car until you enter an individual password. This is accomplished through a combination of buttons on your dashboard and steering wheel in a particular sequence. This makes it difficult for thieves to clone or hack into your system and will prevent the vehicle from starting.

The Range rover Sport ghost installer will recognize this attempt to increase your signal and stop your vehicle from starting until the proper disarming code is entered. The Ghost is different from other security systems which can be activated with the incorrect code. It will keep preventing your car from starting until you enter the correct passcode.

The Ghost remains in service mode until you put it back into 'service' which is activated by pressing the same combination of buttons as you did to arm it (this can be done when you go to your dealer for maintenance or warranty work). This is a security measure to ensure that it is not removed by unauthorised people and it is then rearmed and brought back to service mode when required.

If you decide to change vehicles during your ownership it is possible to transfer the Ghost to the new vehicle if the new vehicle is compatible. The most recent version of Ghost comes with QR finger prints that are connected to the International Security Register. This means that if you have your Ghost stolen for parts, it can be traced back to you and your car. This could deter thieves from stealing vehicles with Ghost because they know that they are safe and would risk getting caught and detained.
