ghost immobilise 2 Immobiliser Problems

Designed to protect vehicles from key cloning and hacking the Ghost 2 immobiliser is a discreet device that can be fitted without damaging your vehicle. It will not allow you to start your vehicle unless you press the correct sequence of keys in your vehicle. This is similar to a mobile password.

Stop/Start

Ghost Immobilisers stop vehicles being stolen by blocking the engine from starting until it is issued the correct PIN code. This is accomplished without any modification to the vehicle and is totally undetectable to thieves. The unit is directly connected to the ECU through the CAN databus in order to disable the vehicle. This system is similar to that used by car manufacturers for many years. However, thieves cannot escape it using a new key or key relay technology, as they can with factory fitted systems.

Ghost is compatible with all vehicles with an engine, including cars, vans, motorhomes and caravans as well as bikes. The same system can be utilized on electric vehicles. It's a great alternative to wheel clamps and steering wheel locks.

If the Ghost is activated it will disable all buttons on your car and stop the ignition being started without a PIN number. You can enter the code by hand or using the Android or Apple app. If the wrong code is entered the app will show an indicator light and the Ghost will not allow the vehicle to start again. This is a great deterrent and when the vehicle isn't started, the burglar will move on to another target.

The Ghost is a weatherproof small device that can be tucked away in the most difficult to access areas of your vehicle. The installation process takes between 20 and 30 minutes for each vehicle. It is also simple to take off if you decide to change vehicles, or even give it to the valet or service center parking. It is a fully TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) insurance approved system that is recognized by a number of insurance companies. It also comes with a secure emergency Pin Code override and features a Service/Valet Mode that can be activated by pressing the application's button or by using your key fob.

Disarm

In contrast to the mechanical anti-theft devices, which are able to be removed, ghost immobilisers are hidden and are integrated into the car. They are virtually impossible to bypass or hack and, even if they are discovered, a burglar cannot start the engine. This is because ghost immobilisers prevent key blocking, signal jamming, and device spoofing, all of which are methods that are used frequently by thieves to get into vehicles with standard immobilisers.

The immobiliser sends a message to the ECU. If the wrong code is received and the vehicle doesn't start as the engine won't fire up. It is possible to disable a ghost immobiliser using the aid of a software program, however it would be very difficult and time consuming to do so. Only an authorized installer can install and use the software.

The Ghost immobiliser is a tiny device that is part of the wiring loom of the vehicle and is invisible to the naked eye once installed. It will not show up on diagnostic systems, it does not have LED indicators and it will not communicate with the engine via the OBD port. It communicates in a silent manner through the CAN data circuit.

The system will block the vehicle from starting until it receives a user defined PIN code sequence. This code can be entered using buttons on the steering wheels, door panels, or centre console. This is a better way to protect the car, because it doesn't need an additional remote control or key fob.

Ghost also has a service-mode that can be turned on via the mobile application. This will allow you to give your keys to someone for servicing or valet parking without entering the disarm sequence.

The delay time frame must be sufficiently long to allow the owner of the vehicle who was hijacked of the vehicle to move away from the site of the incident and to maintain a sufficient distance from the vehicle in which it is stuck before the system is able to reactivate.

In addition to the standard CANbus immobiliser blocking capabilities of the Ghost system, it comes with an additional level of security that prevents common hacking techniques employed to gain access to modern cars such as relay attacks keys range extending, relay attacks and ECU swapping. The Ghost system communicates in a quiet way and does not emit signals that can be detected by thieves with codes-grabbing or RF scanning technology.

The Ghost system also has a Service / Valet mode that allows your vehicle to be started temporarily and driven without the need for an PIN code. This is ideal when you park your vehicle and only need to leave it briefly for a few minutes, like to open the garage door or place groceries in the boot.
