How To Outsmart Your Boss With Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser can protect your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and door lock picking. It is operated by using the vehicle's factory buttons (such as the steering wheel control, door panel & the centre console) to create an individual pin code sequence that you can change each time you use it.
It is nearly impossible to determine this sequence, so the vehicle can't be started. It also prevents signal jamming and device spoofing.
No key fobs or LED indicators.
Car theft is a massive issue with a lot of thieves targeting vehicles with no keys. If they can get your vehicle's key signal, or copy your key fob they could use it to allow your car to start and drive away. Installing an immobiliser in your vehicle or van is a great idea. It's an easy device that prevents the engine from starting without a key or an immobiliser code. There are many kinds of immobilisers available that are available. Some are made to be hidden inside your vehicle, while others are weatherproof. They can be put in on a prominent place.
One of the most effective and most well-known types is a Ghost Immobiliser. It is an weatherproof device that connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It works in a similar way as your key fob, but does not feature any LEDs or even a button on the steering wheel to signal its presence. ghost car immobiliser sits within the vehicle or van and connects directly with the ECU.
It is also not able to be picked by any vehicle diagnostic tools and will keep preventing your vehicle from beginning until the correct PIN code is entered. The system is also tamperproof, which means that thieves are unable to remove or modify the Ghost unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser is a excellent protection for your vehicle or van from key cloning and hacking. This is done using a pin code that you alone are aware of. You select a sequence to disarm that you can set yourself and can be as long or short as you want. You then enter this into the Ghost app on your phone whenever you are driving. The system can be transferred to a different vehicle if you change cars throughout the life of owning it.
Often these systems are linked to the OBD port so that it can recognise your fob or key. Hi-tech thieves, however, have found ways to hack these systems and then start the vehicle even if the key isn't present. This is why it's suggested to get an immobiliser that is ghost-like. The device will stop your Mercedes from being started unless an appropriate PIN code is entered. You can set this, and only you and your installer will know it.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser prevents your car from starting if you do not enter the correct pin code. It is designed to guard against key cloning, as well as other forms of theft that are common.
Ghost immobilisers operate quietly and slyly over the CAN data network, in contrast to other security systems equipped with LED indicators or key fobs. This means that thieves cannot detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser, even if they use advanced RF scanning and code grabbing technology.
The device is located in the engine bay and is connected to the ECU. It connects with the factory buttons in your vehicle, and allows you to design a unique button sequence to start your vehicle. It can be entered through the steering wheel or door ghost immobiliser, tracker panels, as well as the centre console. It can be changed at any time and contain up to 20 digits in the PIN.
Modern cars are filled with CAN bus data, which means thieves can employ various methods to hack into your vehicle and disable the security systems. One method involves the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the proper tools, thieves are able to access your car's OBD port and make use of a laptop to disable the alarm, create new keys and then drive away. This type of hack is highly effective and can be completed in a matter of minutes.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. This system cannot be detected by vehicle diagnostics and does not emit radio waves. It is almost impossible for thieves to locate it and then tamper with it. The ghost is also resistant to jamming devices, which could be used to disable security systems in your vehicle.
Another excellent feature of the ghost is the ability to switch it into Service mode, which allows you to hand your car over for valet parking or service without giving anyone keys or buttons. The ghost will exit Service mode based on the speed, duration or the pin code that you have set. This is a fantastic way to safeguard your vehicle from high tech car thieves 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 thieves use to scan & hack into modern vehicles. It also does not send any radio signals like trackers, making it undetectable to anyone other than you or your trained installer.
Contrary to other car security systems that rely on LED indicators or key fobs the Ghost immobiliser works by utilising the buttons already in your vehicle (either the steering wheel or the door lock, or dashboard) to create a unique sequence to disarm you decide to use. The sequence can be as short or long as you wish & it needs to be entered before your J can be driven.
You can change your PIN at any time you'd like, so that your vehicle will be secure even if someone else gets your keys or if you forget your PIN for a few days. This is particularly useful when you drop your vehicle off for service or cleaning or to take it to an auto repair shop in the area for repairs. You can drive your vehicle with no worries about a thief stealing it.
The smart thief proof technology that is included in the Ghost device is a game changer, and is a great alternative to traditional physical deterrents like the locking of a steering wheel or wheel clamp. It is more difficult to get around because it doesn't rely on any external components and doesn't emit any signal.
The only way that the Ghost can be defeated is by physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network. This is something we do not recommend at all. It is imperative that you choose a TASSA registered Ghost Installations team to complete your installation. Our team is fully certified and insured which gives you peace of mind that your new Ghost Car Security system is a genuine Tassa approved product.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser that secures your Lexus. It shields your car from key-cloning, hacking and key theft. It creates an unobtrusive pin code sequence by using the original buttons of your vehicle. Only you are able to start your car. The system is completely concealed and sealed inside the harness of the vehicle and is therefore inaccessible to thieves. If a thief was able to access the system to the system, they will be prevented from 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 start & drive your vehicle. This can be done with the app or a Bluetooth tag that is available separately. It can also be removed at any time.
Online key cloning is very widespread and allows criminals to steal cars without having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is important, especially if your car is expensive.
Ghost immobilisers are different to the factory immobiliser that comes with your vehicle. Standard factory fitted immobilisers depend on a chip inside the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the key or fob and to start the engine. Ghost immobilisers provide an additional layer of vehicle's security, making it impossible for the engine to start without entering a specific pin number or code. This stops hackers as well as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other methods to unlock a factory fitted immobiliser.
The best thing about a ghost immobiliser is that it is nearly impossible to bypass or hack. This is because 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 the vehicle that was stolen from being driven back because it can't start.
It also prevents a vehicle from being towed away as the Ghost will automatically lock once it reads the trigger speed of 0mph. This is an additional benefit as it will stop a thief from being able remove the ghost, and then tow your vehicle away.
