Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and door lock picking. It uses the buttons on the factory of your vehicle (such as the steering wheel control, centre console and door panel) to generate a unique pin code that you can push.
It is virtually impossible to guess this sequence, and the vehicle can't be started. It also stops signal jamming and device spoofing.
No key fobs or LED indicators
Many thieves target vehicles that are keyless. If they are able to intercept the vehicle's key signal or duplicate your key fob, they could use it to get your car to start, and drive away. This is why it's a great idea to get an immobiliser added on your van or car. It's a simple device that stops the engine from starting without the use of a key or immobiliser code. There are many different kinds of immobilisers to choose from. Some are designed to be hidden within your vehicle, while others are weatherproof. They can be put in at a higher-visibility location.
One of the best and most popular types is a Ghost immobiliser. This device is weatherproof and connects to your vehicle's CAN network. It works in a similar way like a key fob but it doesn't have any LED indicators or buttons on the steering wheel that would signal its presence. It is located inside the vehicle or van and connects directly with the ECU.
It's also inaccessible to any diagnostic tool for vehicles and will block your vehicle from starting until the correct PIN code is entered. The system is also tamper proof so it's impossible for thieves to alter or remove the ghost unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser is a excellent protection for your vehicle or van against hacking and key cloning. This is done using a PIN code you alone are aware of. You select a sequence to disarm that you set and can be as long or as short as you'd like. Then, you type it into the Ghost application on your phone to start driving. If you switch cars in the course of ownership the system is able to be transferred.
The majority of these systems are connected to the OBD port so that it can recognise your key or fob. However, high-tech thieves have discovered ways to hack these systems and make the vehicle start even though the key isn't there. This is why it's suggested to install an immobiliser with ghosts installed. The device can stop your Mercedes from starting until an appropriate PIN code is entered. This can be set by you, and is only accessible to you and your installer.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser blocks your car from starting without the correct pin code. It's designed to guard your vehicle against key cloning and other common types of theft.
Ghost immobilisers work silently and in stealth via the CAN data network, unlike other security systems equipped with LED indicators or key fobs. This means that thieves can't detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser, even if they are using advanced technology for RF scanning and code grabbing technology.
The device is in the engine bay, and is connected to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). It connects to factory buttons on your vehicle which allows you to design an individual button sequence that will allow the car to start up. This can be entered via the steering wheel, door ghost immobiliser and tracker panels, or even the central console. The PIN can be changed at anytime and can include up to 20 digits.
Modern vehicles are stuffed with CAN bus-related information that means thieves can use a variety of methods to hack your car and disable security systems. One of them is the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port. With the appropriate tools, thieves can gain access to your car's OBD port and utilize a laptop to disable the alarm, create new keys and then drive it away. This type of hack is very 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 almost impossible for thieves find it and alter it. Ghosts are also resistant to jamming devices, which could be used to disable security systems within your car.
Another great feature of the ghost is that you can switch it into Service mode, which allows you to hand your car over to valet parking or for servicing without giving anyone keys or buttons. The ghost will leave the Service mode based on speed, time or entering the pin code that you have set. This is a great method to safeguard your car from high-tech car thieves at work or on vacation.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser uses the CAN bus system which means that it is embedded in the vehicle's CAN data network. This means it is not detectable by any diagnostic tools employed by thieves to hack and scan modern vehicles. It also does not send any radio signals, like trackers, making it inaccessible to anyone other than you or your certified installer.
Unlike other car security systems that rely on LED indications or key fobs the Ghost immobiliser works by utilising the buttons in your vehicle (either the steering wheel or the door lock, or dashboard) to create a unique disarm sequence that you choose. This sequence can be as long or short as you want, and it must be entered before your J can be driven.
You can change your PIN at any time, ensuring that even if you give someone else your keys or forget your own PIN for a day or two your vehicle is still safe. This is particularly important when you drop your vehicle off for service or cleaning or to take it to a local garage to make repairs. You can still drive your vehicle with no worries about a thief stealing it.
The Ghost device's smart thief-proofing technology is an innovative device. It's an excellent alternative to physical deterrents like a wheel clamp or steering wheel lock. It is more difficult to bypass because it does not use any external components and does not emit any signal.
The only way in which the Ghost can be defeated is by physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network, which we do not recommend at all. This is why it is essential to make sure that the installation is done by a TASSA registered TASSA Registered Ghost Installations team. Our team are fully qualified and insured, giving you confidence that your new Ghost Car Security system is authentic Tassa approved product.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is a new immobiliser for your Lexus. It protects against key-cloning hacking and theft. Using the vehicles original buttons it creates a subtle pin code push sequence that you can control and only you are able to start your car. The system is completely concealed, sealed and tucked inside the harness of the vehicle, making it untraceable to thieves. If a thief could gain access, they would be unable to driving away by speed or entering the PIN code. Ghost 2 immobiliser can also put it into service mode to temporarily start and drive your vehicle. This is done via the app or by using the Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and is able to be removed at any time.
Key cloning online is widespread and allows thieves to steal cars without having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is essential, especially if your car is expensive.
A ghost immobiliser is very different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your vehicle. Standard factory-fitted immobilisers use a chip inside the ECU to communicate with a key or fob and then start the car. Ghost immobilisers stop this by adding an extra layer of security to your vehicle that makes it impossible to start the engine without a unique pin number or code sequence being entered. This also stops hacking or device spoofing as well as signal jamming. These are all methods that could be used to unlock a normal immobiliser that is fitted by the manufacturer.
The greatest benefit of a ghost immobiliser is that it is nearly impossible to bypass or hack. This is due to the fact that it is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a way that it is not visible to thieves. This is a great advantage, as it prevents a stolen vehicle from being used again since it isn't able to start.
This also prevents a car being towd away because the Ghost will automatically lock once it has a trigger speed of 0mph. This is a huge benefit, since it stops thieves from being in a position to take your ghost and then tow away your vehicle.
