It also has a Service/Valet mode which will allow your vehicle to be started without the need for a PIN.

To use an OBD hacking device you must have a laptop that has software capable of reading the OBD protocol. These can be bought for less than PS100 on ebay or Amazon.

They will then be able start your vehicle.

With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no additional keys or remotes required.

A personalised PIN is programmed using buttons on the steering wheel and dash. The device doesn't emit RF signals, which means it is not able to be tampered with. This makes it unrecognisable by sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technology that modern thieves employ.

The PIN code sequence can be changed anytime you want to block previous drivers and even includes an override option in the event of forgotten sequences. The installer will show you how to do this during installation. The system comes with a valet-mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that your garage or mechanic can work on the vehicle without having to know the pin number. This is great for customers who wish to surrender their vehicle for valet parking / service but don't want divulge the PIN sequence.
