Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle against key cloning and hacking. It also helps stop door lock picks. It makes use of the factory buttons on your vehicle (such as the steering wheel control, the centre console and door panel) to generate a unique pin code push.
It is nearly impossible to determine this sequence, which is why the vehicle cannot be started. It also helps prevent signal jamming and device spoofing.
No key fobs or LED indicators
Car theft is a major problem, with many thieves targeting vehicles with no keys. If they can get the signal from your vehicle keys, or even copy your key fob they could use it to begin your car and drive away with it. This is the reason it's a good idea to get an immobiliser added to your vehicle or van. It's an easy device that prevents the engine from running without an ignition key or code. There are several different types of immobilisers to choose from. Some are designed to be hidden in your car whilst others are weatherproof and can be fitted in a location that is more visible.
One of the best and most popular types is a Ghost immobiliser. This is an immobiliser that is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It functions in a similar manner to a key fob, however, it does not have LED indicators or buttons on the steering wheel to signal its presence. It's installed in your van or car and communicates with the ECU directly.
It's also inaccessible to any vehicle diagnostic tools 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 unit.
The Ghost Immobiliser offers a excellent protection for your vehicle or van against key cloning and hacking. It does this by using an unique PIN code only you know. You can choose your own disarm sequence and it can be as short or long as you want. After that, you input it into the Ghost application on your smartphone to begin driving. The system can be transferred to a different vehicle if you move throughout the life of owning it.
These systems are usually connected to the OBD port which allows them to recognise your key fob or key. However, hackers with high-tech devices have found ways to hack into these systems to make the vehicle start even though the key isn't in. This is why it's recommended that you get an immobiliser with ghosts installed. The device will prevent your Mercedes from starting unless the correct PIN code push sequence is entered. This can be set by you, and is only known to you and your installer.
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 common types of theft.
Ghost immobilisers operate silently and slyly via the CAN data network, in contrast to other security systems with key fobs or LED indicators. This means that thieves are unable to detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser even if they're using advanced RF scanning and code grabbing technology.
The device is located in the engine bay and is connected to the ECU. It is connected to the factory buttons on your vehicle and allows you to create an individual button sequence that allows start-up of your car. This can be entered through the steering wheel, the door ghost immobilisers, the tracker panels or the centre console. It can be changed at any point and contain up to 20 digits in the PIN.
Modern vehicles are stuffed with CAN bus data that means thieves have a variety of methods to hack into your vehicle and disable security systems. One method is to use the OBD port (On Board Diagnostics). With the right tools, thieves are able to access the OBD port on your car and use a laptop in order to deactivate your car's alarm and code a new key then drive away. This type of hack is ghost immobiliser cost highly efficient and can be done in a matter of minutes.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. It is not detected by vehicle diagnostics, and there are no radio signals, which makes it nearly impossible for thieves to locate and tamper with the system. In addition the ghost is immune to jamming devices that can be used to block other security systems in your car.
You can also enter the ghost into Service mode. This allows you to offer your car to valet parking or service without having to give 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 an excellent way to protect your vehicle from thieves who use high-tech technology while at work or on vacation.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser uses the CAN bus system which means that it is a part of the vehicle's CAN data network. This means it cannot be detected using any diagnostic tools that thieves use to scan and hack into modern vehicles. It does not transmit any radio signals like a tracker so it is not visible to anyone else than you or your trained installer.
Ghost immobiliser is different from other car security systems that rely on key fobs or LED indicators. It utilizes the buttons on your vehicle to create a unique sequence of disarming. This sequence can be set to any length you like and must be entered prior to the J can be driven.
You can change your password whenever you'd like, meaning that your vehicle will be secure even if someone other person gets your keys or if you forget your PIN for several days. This is particularly important when you drop your car off for cleaning or maintenance, or if you have to take it to local garages to make repairs. You can still drive your vehicle without worrying about a criminal stealing it.
The advanced thief proofing technology of the Ghost device is a true game changer, and is a great alternative to traditional physical deterrents, such as the locking of a steering wheel or wheel clamp. The fact that it doesn't depend on any external components or emit any signal makes it far more difficult to break than any other immobiliser on the market today.
The only way that the Ghost can be defeated is through physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network. This is something we would not recommend at all. This is why it is essential to make sure that your installation is carried out by a TASSA registered TASSA Ghost Installations team that is registered. Our team is certified and insured. This provides you with assurance that your Ghost Car Security system will be a genuine Tassa-approved item.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser that secures your Lexus. It safeguards against key-cloning hacking and theft. It creates an unobtrusive pin code sequence by using the original buttons of your vehicle. Only you are able to start your vehicle. The system is completely concealed, sealed and tucked into the vehicles harness making it totally undetectable to thieves. If a burglar 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. You can also put it into service mode to temporarily begin and drive your vehicle. This can be done with the app or using a Bluetooth tag that is available separately. It is also able to be removed at any time.
Modern day key cloning equipment is very easy to purchase on the internet and gives criminals the ability to steal your car without even having the original keys. This is why having an immobiliser installed is crucial, particularly if you have spent a lot on your pride and joy.
A ghost immobiliser is different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your vehicle. Immobilisers that are factory fitted depend on a chip inside the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the key or fob and start the engine. A ghost immobiliser adds an additional layer of vehicle's security, making it impossible for the engine to be started without entering a unique code or pin number. This prevents hacking as well as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other methods to unlock a factory fitted immobiliser.
The best part about a ghost immobiliser? It is nearly impossible to bypass it or hack it. This is because the ghost immobiliser is linked to the CAN bus, and it operates in a manner that is not visible to thieves. This is a great benefit, since it stops a stolen car from being driven back because it can't start.
This also prevents a car being towed away as the Ghost will lock automatically when it has a trigger speed of 0mph. This is an excellent benefit, as it prevents a thief to be in a position to take your ghost, and then tow away your car.
