Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation: It's Not As Expensive As You Think
Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser can protect your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and door lock picking. It works by using the vehicles buttons from the factory (such as steering wheel control, door panel & centre console) to create a unique pin code push sequence that can be changed each time you use it.
This makes it nearly impossible to figure out the sequence so that the vehicle can't be driven away or started. It also helps prevent 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 copy your key fob, they could use it to get your vehicle to start and drive away. Installing an immobiliser in your vehicle or van is a great idea. It's an easy device that blocks the engine from running without an ignition key or code. There are several types of immobilisers on the market. Some are designed to be hidden within your car whilst others are weatherproof and can be fitted in a location that is more noticeable.
Ghost Immobilisers are one of the most sought-after and most reliable kinds. It's a weatherproof device that connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It functions in the same manner like your key fob, however it does not have any LED indicators or even an indicator on the steering wheel to indicate its presence. It sits within your car or van and communicates directly with the ECU.
It's also inaccessible to any diagnostic tools for vehicles and will keep preventing your vehicle from beginning until the correct PIN code is entered. The system is also tamper-proof, meaning that it's impossible for a thief to alter or remove the ghost device.
The Ghost Immobiliser offers a excellent security measure for your car or van against hacking and key cloning. This is done by using a PIN code only you know. You can pick your own sequence of disarming that can be as short or as long as you want. Then, you enter it into the Ghost app on your smartphone when you are driving. If you change vehicles during the ownership period the system is able to be transferred.
Most of the time, 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 then start the vehicle even when the key is not present. This is why it's recommended to get a ghost immobiliser installation . The device will stop your Mercedes from starting unless the correct PIN code is entered. This can be set by you & is only accessible to you and your installer.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser prevents your car from starting without entering the correct pin code. It is designed to guard against key cloning, as well as other types of theft common to.
Unlike other security systems that have key-fobs or LED indicators ghost immobilisers are stealthy and operate completely silently on the CAN data network. This means that thieves can't find a ghost immobiliser even when they employ advanced scans using RF or code-grabbing technologies.
The device is located in the engine bay and is connected to the ECU. It connects to the factory buttons on your vehicle and allows you to create an individual button sequence that will allow start-up of your car. This can be entered through the steering wheel, door ghost immobilisers, the tracker panels, or through the central console. The PIN can be changed at any time and can have up to 20 numbers.
Modern cars are awash with CAN bus data which means that thieves are able to employ a variety of methods to gain access to your vehicle and disable its security systems. One method involves the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the right tools, thieves can access your vehicle's OBD port and utilize a laptop to disable the alarm, then code new keys and then drive off. This method is highly effective and can be completed in minutes.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. The system isn't detected by vehicle diagnostics, and there are no radio waves. It is almost impossible for thieves find it and then tamper with it. Ghosts are also resistant to jamming devices that can be used to disable other security systems within your car.
You can also put the ghost into Service mode. This allows you to offer your car to valet parking or for service without giving anyone your keys or buttons fobs. The ghost will then leave Service mode depending on the speed and time or by entering the pin code you have set up. This is a fantastic way to protect your car from thieves who use high-tech technology when you are working or on holiday.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser is a CAN bus device which means it is part of the vehicles CAN data network so it isn't detected by any diagnostic tools that criminals use to scan and attack modern cars. It does not transmit any radio signals like a tracker so it is inaccessible to anyone other than you or your trained installer.
Ghost immobiliser is different from other security systems for cars that rely on key fobs or LED indicators. It uses the buttons on your vehicle to generate a unique sequence of disarming. The sequence can be adjusted to any length you like and must be entered prior to the J can be driven.
You can change your PIN at any time you want, so that your vehicle will be secured even if else gets your keys or if you forget your PIN for several days. This is particularly useful for when you are dropping your car off to be serviced or cleaned 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-proof technology is an absolute game changer. It's an excellent alternative to physical deterrents such as wheel clamps or a steering wheel lock. It is more difficult to get around because it does not use any external components and does not emit any signal.
The only way that the Ghost can be defeated is through physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network, which we do not recommend at all. It is imperative that you use a TASSA certified Ghost Installations team to perform your installation. Our team is certified and insured. This provides you with peace of mind knowing your Ghost Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa-approved product.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is a new immobiliser for your Lexus. It safeguards against key-cloning hacking and theft. It creates a distinct pin code push sequence that uses the original buttons of your vehicle. Only you can start your car. The system is completely concealed, sealed and in the vehicle harness which makes it unnoticeable to thieves. If a burglar did manage to gain access they would be prevented from driving away by speed or entering the PIN code. You can also put it into service mode to temporarily start and drive your vehicle. This can be done with the app or using a Bluetooth tag that is sold separately. It is also able to be removed at any point.
Online key cloning is very frequent and allows criminals to steal vehicles without having the original keys. This is why having an immobiliser installed is crucial, particularly when you've spent a lot on your pride and joy.
A ghost immobiliser differs from the factory immobiliser included with your vehicle. Standard factory fitted immobilisers rely on a chip in the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the key or fob and to start the engine. Ghost immobilisers provide an extra layer to your vehicle's security that makes it impossible for the engine to start without entering a unique code or pin number. This blocks hacking as well as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other methods to unlock the factory-installed immobiliser.
The most appealing thing about a ghost immobiliser? It is almost impossible to circumvent it or hack it. It is connected to the CAN bus and operates in a way that can't be seen by thieves. This is a major benefit as it means that a vehicle that was stolen won't be able to be driven away again as it will not be able to start.
This also prevents a car being tow away since the Ghost will automatically lock when it reads the trigger speed of 0mph. This is a great benefit, since it stops thieves from being capable of removing your ghost and tow away your car.
