Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser shields your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It also helps stop door lock picks. It works by using the vehicles buttons that are factory-installed (such as the steering wheel control, door panel and centre console) to create an unique pin code push sequence that is changeable every time you use it.
This makes it almost impossible to figure out the sequence, so that the vehicle can't be started or driven away. It also helps prevent the device from spoofing signals and jamming.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications
Car theft is a massive issue with a lot of thieves targeting vehicles with no keys. If they are able to intercept the signal from your vehicle keys or even copy your key fob, they can use it to start your car and take off with it. This is why it's a good idea to get an immobiliser installed to your vehicle or van. It's a basic device that stops the engine from starting if you do not have a key or an immobiliser code. There are several kinds of immobilisers that are available that are available. Some immobilisers are made to be hidden inside your car, while others are weatherproof. They can be placed on a prominent place.
One of the most effective and most well-known types is a Ghost Immobiliser. It is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It works in a similar way to a key fob, however, it does not have LED indicators or buttons on the steering wheel that would indicate its presence. It is installed in your vehicle or van, and communicates with the ECU directly.
It's also inaccessible to any vehicle diagnostic tools and will block your vehicle from starting until the correct PIN code is entered. The system is also tamper-proof, meaning that a thief cannot remove or alter the Ghost unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser is a fantastic solution as it protects your car or van from key cloning, hacking and key theft. This is done using a PIN code only you know. You choose a disarm sequence that you set and it can be as long or as short as you like. You then enter this into the Ghost app on your smartphone when you want to drive. The system can be transferred to a new vehicle if you move throughout the life of ownership.
These systems are usually connected to the OBD port, so that they can identify your key fob and key. Hi-tech thieves, however, have discovered ways to hack these systems and start the vehicle, even if 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 starting unless a specific PIN code push sequence is entered. You can alter this and only you and your installer are aware of it.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser works by preventing your car from starting without entering the correct pin code. It is designed to safeguard your vehicle against key cloning and other typical kinds of theft.
Ghost immobilisers work silently and slyly through the CAN data network, which is different from other security systems that use key fobs or LED indicators. This means that thieves cannot detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser even if they are using advanced scans using RF and code-grabbing technology.
The device is located in the engine bay and is connected to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It connects to the factory buttons on your vehicle, allowing you to create an individual button sequence that is used to authorize start-up of your car. It can be entered through the steering wheel, door ghost immobiliser and tracker panels, or the central console. The PIN can be changed at any time and can be as long as 20 numbers.
Modern cars are filled with CAN bus information which means that thieves have different methods to hack your car and disable the security systems. One of these methods is through the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port. With the proper tools, thieves are able to access your vehicle's OBD port and make use of a laptop to disable its alarm, code new keys and then drive off. This kind 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. This system is not detectable by vehicle diagnostics and also there aren't radio waves. It's nearly impossible for thieves to find it and tamper. Additionally, the ghost is also invincible to jamming devices which can be used to disable other security systems in your vehicle.
Another excellent feature of the ghost is the ability to switch it into Service mode, which allows you to turn your vehicle over to valet parking or 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 protect your car from car thieves with high-tech gadgets when you are working or on holiday.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser is an CAN bus device. This means it sits within the vehicles CAN data network which means it is not identified by any diagnostic tool that criminals use to scan and hack into modern cars. It also does not send any radio signals like trackers, making it not visible to anyone else than you or your certified installer.
Ghost immobiliser is distinct from other car security systems that depend on key fobs or LED indicators. It utilizes the buttons in your vehicle to create a unique sequence of disarming. The sequence can be set to any length you like and must be entered prior to the J can be driven.
You can change your PIN whenever you'd like, so that your vehicle will be safe even if someone else gets your keys or even if you forget your PIN for a few days. This is particularly useful for when you're dropping your car off to be cleaned or serviced or to take it to a local garage to be repaired - you can still drive it with no worries about a criminal stealing your vehicle.
The Ghost device's smart thief-proofing technology is an innovative device. It's a great alternative to physical deterrents such as wheel clamps or a steering wheel lock. It is more difficult to bypass since it does not rely on any external components and doesn't emit any signal.
The only way the Ghost can be defeated is through physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network. This is something we do not recommend in any way. This is why it's crucial to ensure that the installation is done by a TASSA registered TASSA Ghost Installations team that is registered. Our team are fully qualified and insured which gives you assurance that your new Ghost Car Security system is an authentic Tassa approved product.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is a new immobiliser for your Lexus. It protects your car from hacking, key-cloning and key theft. By using the original buttons of your vehicle, it creates a discrete pin code push sequence that you control which means only you can start your vehicle. The system is completely hidden and sealed into the harness of your vehicle which makes it inaccessible to thieves. If a criminal managed to gain access, they would be prevented leaving the vehicle based on the speed of their vehicle or entering the code. It can also be put into service mode, which allows you to temporarily begin and drive your vehicle. This can be accomplished using the app or a Bluetooth tag that is sold separately. It can also be removed at any point.
Online key cloning is very widespread and allows thieves to steal cars without even having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is essential particularly if your vehicle is costly.
A ghost immobiliser is very different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your vehicle. Standard factory fitted immobilisers depend on a chip within the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the key or fob and start the engine. A ghost immobiliser prevents this by adding an additional layer of security to your vehicle. It makes it impossible to start the engine without having a unique pin ghost car immobiliser number or code sequence being 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 ghost immobilisers is that it is nearly impossible to bypass it or hack it. It is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a way that it is not visible to thieves. This is an advantage, as it prevents a stolen car from being used again since it won't start.
It will also prevent a car from being towd because the Ghost will lock automatically once it has read that trigger speed of zero mph. This is an additional benefit as it will stop the thief from being able to take away the ghost and take your car away.
