Ghost 2 Immobiliser Problems
The Ghost 2 immobiliser, designed to protect cars from key cloning or hacking is a discrete device that can be installed without damaging your vehicle. It stops your vehicle from starting unless you enter an exact sequence of keys within your vehicle like the password of mobile phones.
Stop/Start
Ghost immobilisers protect vehicles from being stolen by stopping the engine from running until it has received the correct PIN code. This is done without modifications to the vehicle, and is totally undetectable to thieves. The unit communicates with the ECU on the CAN data bus to immobilise the vehicle. This is the same system that used by car manufacturers for many years. However, thieves cannot overcome it using a brand new key or key relay technology, as they could using factory-installed systems.
Ghost is compatible with any vehicle with an engine, including motorhomes, vans, cars and caravans as well as bikes. The same system can be used on electric vehicles. It's an excellent alternative to wheel clamps and steering wheel locks.
When the Ghost is activated, it will disable all buttons on your car, preventing the ignition being started without a PIN code. You can enter the code manually or through the Android or Apple app. If the incorrect code is entered, the app will show an indicator light. The Ghost will not let the vehicle be started again. This is a great deterrent and when the vehicle isn't started the thief will then move on to a different victim.
The Ghost is a weatherproof small device that can be tucked away in the most inaccessible areas of your vehicle. It is incredibly easy to install with an average of 20-30 minutes per vehicle. It is also very easy to remove if you decide to move your vehicle around or return it for valet parking or service. ghost immobiliser problems is a TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) insurance-approved system that is endorsed by some insurers. It also features an emergency security feature that is secured by Pin Code Override, and the Service/Valet feature that can be activated by pressing a button within the app or using your key fob.
Disarm
Ghost immobilisers like mechanical anti-theft devices that are able to be removed, are hidden in the car. They are nearly impossible to hack or bypass and, even if they are found, a thief cannot start the engine. Ghost immobilisers are able to prevent key cloning and signal jamming and devices spoofing. These are the methods thieves employ to gain access into vehicles equipped that have standard immobilisers.
The immobiliser transmits a code to the ECU. If a incorrect code is received, the vehicle will not start since the engine won't start. It is possible to disable a ghost immobiliser by using a software tool, but it's extremely time-consuming and difficult to accomplish this. Only an authorized installer can install and use the software.
The Ghost immobiliser is a small device that is tucked away in the wiring loom of the vehicle and is inaccessible to the naked eye after it has been installed. It is not visible on diagnostic systems, it does not have LED indicators and it does not communicate with the engine via the OBD port. It communicates silently via the CAN data circuit.
The system will block the vehicle from starting until it is able to receive a user-defined PIN code sequence. The PIN code is entered via buttons on the steering wheel or door panels, or on the centre console. This is a better way to safeguard the car because it doesn't need a remote control or key fob.
Ghost also has a service mode that can be activated via the mobile application. This lets you hand over your keys to someone else to use for service or valet parking, without having to enter the disarm sequence.
Whether your Ghost is in service mode or not, you should not attempt to remove the system yourself as it can affect your engine and cause damage. It is recommended to contact a TASSA-verified installer who can safely and correctly remove the system. Our most recent GHOST II immobilisers also include a special QR fingerprint sticker that is hidden in various locations of your vehicle. they are linked to our international security register - in the event the system is removed and then sold on the black market it will be linked back to its original owner.
Anti-Hijack
Ghost Immobiliser 2 has a very useful anti-hijack feature. This system is a smart key that guards your car from thieves. Whenever the ignition switch is turned to on, and the vehicle is stationary for a period of 30 seconds then the Ghost system will automatically stall the engine and switch the hazards lights on. This gives the driver or passengers time to press a secret security button (depending on the vehicle) before the system reactivates and the engine is again allowed to start.
Contrary to many other systems that simply stop the engine once the ignition switch is turned on The Ghost system uses a special controller and timer that will shut off the fuel cut-off valve 14 in the event that it is activated within an agreed-upon time, even when the ignition is in operation! This delay time period must be long enough to allow the hijacked owner of the vehicle to move away from the scene of the robbery and sufficient distance from the vehicle in which it is stuck before the system can be activated.
The Ghost has an additional layer of security to prevent common hacking methods used to gain entry into modern cars like relay attacks and key range expanding. This is due to the fact that the Ghost system communicates silently and doesn't emit any signals that can be detected by a criminal using code grabbing or RF scanning technology.
The Ghost system comes with an option for service or valet mode that allows your vehicle to temporarily be started and driven, without the requirement for a PIN code. This is ideal if you park your car and only need to leave it briefly for a few minutes, like to open the garage door or put groceries in the boot. The system will end the service mode based on the speed and duration, or via the simple input of a PIN code process. This gives you total peace-of-mind that only YOU can drive your vehicle!

These immobilisers can be fitted discretely inside your vehicle, leaving no traces and are undetectable by the tools that sophisticated thieves use.
The Ghost immobiliser differs from other systems which require the driver to carry tags or an app. Instead, you are able to select your personal pin sequence by pressing the pattern on your steering wheel, door panel, and the centre console. The pin can be easily changed and makes the device as secure as a credit card. It can also be more difficult to break because it takes up to 20 press.
Ghost also has a Valet/Service mode that allows users to deactivate it when you intend to hand over your vehicle for valet parking, or for service.
