Ghost 2 Immobiliser Installation
A Ghost immobiliser helps protect your vehicle from hacking, key cloning and door lock pick. It is operated by using the vehicle's buttons from the factory (such as steering wheel control, door panel and the centre console) to create a unique pin code push sequence that is changeable every time you use it.
This makes it almost impossible to guess the sequence, so that the vehicle can't be started or driven away. Also, it prevents signal jamming & device spoofing.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications
Car theft is a major problem, with many thieves targeting vehicles that are keyless. If they can intercept the signal from your vehicle keys, or even copy your key fob they can use it to start your vehicle and drive off with it. Installing an immobiliser into your van or car is a smart idea. It's just a simple device which prevents the engine from starting if the driver doesn't have a key or immobiliser code. There are a variety of different kinds of immobilisers to choose from. Some are made to be hidden inside your vehicle, while others are weatherproof. They can be placed in a more visible area.
One of the most effective and most popular kinds is a Ghost Immobiliser. This is an weatherproof device that connects to the CAN network of your vehicle. It works in a similar way to your key fob but doesn't have any LED indications or even a button on the steering wheel to give away its presence. It sits within your car or van and communicates directly with the ECU.
autowatch ghost immobiliser isn't pickable by 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 so it's impossible for thieves to take away or alter 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 a unique PIN code that only you are aware of. You can select your own sequence to disarm that can be as short or as long as you'd like. Then, you enter it into the Ghost application on your phone to begin driving. If you move vehicles during the ownership period the system can be transferred.
These systems are often linked to the OBD port which allows them to recognise your key fob or key. However, high-tech thieves have discovered ways to hack into these systems and make the vehicle start even though 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 until an appropriate PIN code is entered. This can be set by you & is only known to you and your installer.
No OBD Port Hacking
The ghost immobiliser stops your vehicle from starting without the correct pin code. It's designed to guard your vehicle from key cloning and other typical kinds of theft.
In contrast to other security systems that have LED indicators or key-fobs, ghost immobilisers are hidden and operate completely silently through the CAN data network. This means that thieves can't detect the presence of a ghost immobiliser even if they're using advanced technology for RF scanning and code grabbing technology.
The device is located in the engine bay and connected to the ECU. It connects to the factory buttons on your vehicle, allowing you to create an individual button sequence that will allow the start-up of your vehicle. This can be entered through the steering wheel, door ghost immobiliser panels, tracker panels, or even the centre console. It can be changed at any time and include up to 20 digits in the PIN.
Modern cars are filled with CAN bus data which means that thieves have a variety of methods to hack into your vehicle and disable security systems. One method involves the OBD (On Board Diagnostics) port. With the right tools, thieves can gain access to your vehicle's OBD port and utilize a laptop to disable the alarm, then code new keys, and then drive it away. This method is extremely effective 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. This is not detected by vehicle diagnostics, and there are no radio signals, which makes it nearly impossible for thieves to find and tamper with the system. The ghost is also invulnerable to jamming devices which can be used to disable other security systems within your car.
Another excellent feature of the ghost is that you can enter it into Service mode, enabling you to turn your vehicle over for valet parking or servicing without giving anyone your key fobs or buttons. The ghost will leave the Service mode according to speed, time or entering the pin code that you have set. This is a great method to protect your vehicle from high-tech car thieves at work or on vacation.
No Key Theft
The ghost 2 immobiliser uses CAN bus technology which means that it is a part of the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that it is not detectable by any diagnostic tools employed by thieves to scan and hack into modern vehicles. It does not transmit any radio signals, like trackers, and therefore isn't able to be detected by anyone but you or your expert installer.
Ghost immobiliser differs from other security systems for cars that depend on key fobs or LED indicators. It uses the buttons on your vehicle to create a distinct sequence of disarming. This sequence can be set to any length you wish and must be entered before the 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 vehicle is safe. This is particularly important when you drop your car off for cleaning or service, or if you have to take it to an auto repair shop in the area to make repairs. You can drive your vehicle with no worries about a thief stealing it.
The Ghost device's smart thief-proofing technology is an absolute game changer. It's an excellent alternative to physical deterrents such as the wheel clamp or wheel lock. The fact that it does not rely on any external components or emit any signals makes it much more difficult to bypass than any other immobiliser available today.
The only way the Ghost can be defeated is by physically altering the wiring of your CAN data network which we do not recommend in any way. This is why it's so important to ensure that your installation is carried out by a certified TASSA Ghost Installations registered team. Our team is fully certified and insured, giving you assurance that your new Ghost Car Security system is an authentic Tassa approved product.
No Key Cloning
The Ghost 2 is the latest immobiliser to protect your Lexus. It safeguards your vehicle from hacking, key-cloning and key theft. Using the vehicles original buttons it creates a subtle pin code sequence that you can control, so only you can start your car. The system is completely concealed, sealed and hidden within the harness of the vehicle, making it totally undetectable to thieves. If a thief managed to gain access to the system, they will be prevented from leaving the vehicle based on speed or entering the code. It is also possible to put it into service mode, which allows you to temporarily start & drive your vehicle. This can be accomplished using the app or a Bluetooth tag that is sold separately. It can also be removed at any point.
Online key cloning is very common and allows thieves to take cars without having the original keys. This is why having an immobiliser is crucial, particularly when you've spent a lot of money on your beloved vehicle.
A ghost immobiliser is very different from the factory immobiliser that comes with your car. Immobilisers that are factory fitted depend on a chip inside the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to communicate with the key or fob and then start the engine. Ghost immobilisers stop this by putting an additional layer of security to your vehicle, making it impossible to start the engine without a specific pin number or code sequence being entered. This also prevents hacking devices, device spoofing, and signal jamming, which are all methods that could be employed to unlock a standard factory-fitted immobiliser.
The best thing about a ghost immobiliser is that it is near impossible to bypass or hack. This is because the ghost immobiliser is linked to CAN bus and is operated in a way that isn't visible to thieves. This is a huge advantage, as it prevents a stolen vehicle from being driven back because it won't start.
It also prevents a vehicle from being towd away because the Ghost will automatically lock when it reads an 0mph trigger speed. This is an additional benefit because it prevents thieves from being able to remove the ghost and then take your car away.
