Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser can protect your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and door lock pick. It uses the vehicle's factory buttons (such as the steering wheel control, door panel & centre console) to create a unique pin code push sequence that can be changed every time you use it.
It is almost impossible to determine this sequence, so the vehicle is not able to start. It also stops signal jamming and device spoofing.
No key fobs or LED indicators.
Car theft is a massive problem, with many thieves targeting vehicles with no keys. If they are able to intercept the vehicle's key signal or copy your key fob, they could use it to get your car to start, and drive away. Installing an immobiliser into your car or van is a smart idea. It's a basic device that stops the engine from starting if you don't have a key or immobiliser code. There are many different kinds of immobilisers to choose from. Some are designed to be hidden inside your car whilst others are weatherproof and are able to be installed in a position which is more visible.
One of the most effective and most well-known kinds is a Ghost Immobiliser. This device is weatherproof and connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It functions in a similar manner like a key fob however, it doesn't have LED indicators or buttons on the steering wheel that indicate its presence. It is mounted in your van or car and connects to the ECU directly.
The system is also tamperproof, meaning it is not possible for a criminal to take away or alter the ghost unit. The system is also tamper-proof, meaning that it's impossible for thieves to alter or remove the ghost device.
The Ghost Immobiliser offers a great protection for your car or van against key cloning and hacking. This is done using a PIN code only you are aware of. You select a sequence to disarm that you can program yourself and it can be as long or as short as you like. You then enter this into the Ghost app on your phone when you are driving. If you move cars in the course of ownership, the system can be transferred.
These systems are usually connected to the OBD port and are able to recognise your key fob or key. However, high-tech thieves have found ways to hack these systems and make the vehicle start despite the fact that the key isn't in. This is why it's suggested that you get a ghost immobiliser installation. The device can stop your Mercedes from starting unless the correct PIN code is entered. This can be set by you and is only known 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 from key cloning and other typical kinds of theft.
Unlike other security systems that feature LED indicators or key-fobs, ghost immobilisers are hidden and operate silently using the CAN data network. This means that thieves are unable to detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser even if they are using advanced technology for 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 buttons on the factory of your vehicle and allows you to create an unique sequence of buttons that will start your vehicle. It can be entered through the steering wheel or door ghost immobiliser, tracker panels, as well as the central console. It can be changed at any time and can contain up to 20 digits in the PIN.
Modern cars are awash with CAN bus data, which means that thieves can employ a variety of methods to hack into your vehicle and disable its 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 of your vehicle and make use of a laptop to deactivate your car's alarm and then code a new key, then drive away. This method is extremely effective and can be done within a matter of minutes.
The Autowatch Ghost immobiliser stops this by communicating with the ECU via the CAN data network. This is not detected by vehicle diagnostics and there are no radio signals, which makes it virtually impossible for thieves to find and alter the system. In addition the ghost is resistant to jamming devices that can be used to block other security systems in your car.
Another great feature of the ghost is the ability to enter it into Service mode, allowing you to turn your vehicle over for valet parking or service without giving anyone your key fobs or buttons. The ghost will leave the Service mode based on the speed, duration or the pin code that you have set. This is a great way to protect your vehicle from high-tech car thieves at work or out on vacation.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser utilizes CAN bus technology which means that it is a part of the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that it cannot be detected using any diagnostic tools used by thieves to scan and hack into modern vehicles. It does not transmit any radio signals, similar to a tracker, so it is not able to be detected by anyone other than you or your expert installer.
Ghost immobiliser differs from other car security systems which depend on key fobs or LED indicators. It utilizes the buttons on your vehicle to create a unique sequence of disarming. This sequence can be as short or long as you want, and it needs to be entered before your J can be driven.
You can change your PIN at any time, ensuring that even if you hand someone else your keys or forget your PIN for a few hours or so, your car is still secure. This is especially helpful when you're preparing to drop your car off to be cleaned or serviced or you have to bring it to a local garage for repairs - you can still drive it without worrying about a criminal stealing your vehicle.
The Ghost device's smart thief-proofing technology is a game changer. It's an excellent alternative to physical deterrents like the wheel clamp or wheel lock. It is harder to deter 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 in any way. This is why it is crucial to ensure that your installation is carried out by an approved TASSA Ghost Installations team that is registered. 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 the latest immobiliser to protect your Lexus. It shields your car from hacking, key-cloning and key theft. It creates a discrete pin code sequence by using the original buttons of your vehicle. Only you can start your vehicle. The system is fully hidden, sealed & hidden within the harness of the vehicle, making it totally undetectable to thieves. If a burglar did manage to gain access they would be stopped from driving away based on speed or entering the PIN code. You can also switch it into service mode so that it can temporarily start and drive your vehicle. This is done via the app or by using a Bluetooth tag (sold separately) and can be removed at any point.
Online key cloning is very common and allows thieves to steal cars without having the original keys. Installing an immobiliser is important especially if your car is costly.
A ghost immobiliser differs from the factory immobiliser included with your vehicle. The standard factory-fitted immobilisers utilize an internal chip in the ECU to communicate with a key or fob and allow the car to start. Ghost immobilisers add an extra layer to your vehicle's security that makes it impossible for the engine to be started without entering a specific pin number or code. This prevents hacking as well as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other methods of unlocking a factory fitted immobiliser.
The greatest benefit of a ghost immobiliser? It is virtually impossible to disable it or hack it. This is because the ghost immobiliser is linked to the CAN bus and operates in a way that is invisible to thieves. This is a huge advantage, as it keeps a stolen car from being driven back because it isn't able to start.
This also prevents a car being towd away because the Ghost will automatically lock when it detects the trigger speed of 0mph. ghost immobiliser cost is a great benefit because it prevents the thief from being able to take away the ghost and tow your vehicle away.
