Stop/Start
Ghost Immobilisers prevent vehicles from being stolen by stopping the engine from running unless it receives the correct PIN code. This is done with no modification to the vehicle and is completely undetectable to thieves. The unit connects directly to the ECU via the CAN databus in order to disable the vehicle. This system is similar to the one that automobile manufacturers have been using in their vehicles for a long time However, thieves cannot add a new key or utilize key relay technology to bypass it as they can with factory fitted systems.
Ghost is compatible with any vehicle with an engine, including cars, vans, motorhomes, caravans, and bikes. The same system can also be used on electric cars. It's a great alternative to wheel clamps and steering wheel locks.
When the Ghost is armed it will block all buttons in your vehicle and stop the ignition from starting until a PIN code has been entered prior to. You can enter the code manually or via the Android or Apple app. If the wrong code is entered, the app will show an indicator light. The Ghost will then refuse to let the vehicle to be restarted. This is a great way to discourage thieves. If the vehicle is unable to be started and they are unable to get it started, they will leave.

It is a fully TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association) insurance-approved system that is recognized by a number of insurance companies. It also features an emergency lock that is secure Pin Code Override, and a Service/Valet mode which can be activated by pressing a button on the app or using your key fob.
Disarm
Ghost immobilisers are not mechanical devices to prevent theft that can be removed, are concealed inside the vehicle. They are nearly impossible to bypass or hack and, even if they are discovered, thieves cannot start the engine. This is because a ghost immobiliser blocks key hacking, signal jamming and device spoofing - techniques that are frequently used by thieves to gain access to vehicles that have standard immobilisers.
The immobiliser transmits a code to the ECU. If a incorrect code is received, the vehicle will not start as the engine won't start. While it is possible to disable the ghost immobiliser with software, this would be very time-consuming and difficult. Only an authorised installer can install and use the software.
The Ghost immobiliser is a small device that is tucked away in the vehicles wiring loom and is invisible to the naked eye once installed. It will not show up on diagnostic systems, there are no LED indicators and it will not communicate with the engine through the OBD port. It communicates silently via the CAN data circuit.
The system won't allow the vehicle to start until it is provided with an input PIN code that is entered by the user. The code is entered by pressing buttons on the steering wheel, door panels, or the centre console. This is a much safer way to protect your car as it does not require the use of keys or a remote control.
Ghost also comes with a service mode that can autowatch ghost immobiliser be activated via the mobile application. This allows you to give your keys to someone else for service or valet parking without entering the disarm sequence.
If your Ghost is in service mode or not, you should never attempt to remove the system by yourself as it can affect your engine and cause damage. It is recommended to speak with an TASSA certified installer who can remove the system in a safe and secure manner. Our newest GHOST II immobilisers also include a special QR fingerprint sticker that is hidden in different 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 this will link it back to its original owner.
Anti-Hijack
Ghost Immobiliser 2 has a very useful anti-hijack feature. This system works like a smart key and is one of the most secure methods to ensure your car is safe from theft. The Ghost system will automatically activate the hazard light and stop the engine when the ignition is on and the vehicle is in a stationary position. This gives the driver or passenger time to press a secret security button (depending on the vehicle) before the system is activated and the engine is again allowed to start.
The Ghost system, unlike other competitors, utilizes a timer and controller unit that will close the valve that shuts off fuel after a predetermined time. This is regardless of whether the ignition is on. The delay time frame needs to be long enough to allow the hijacked owner of the vehicle to drive away from the scene of the robbery and sufficient distance from the stalled vehicle before the system is able to reactivate.
The Ghost comes with added security that prevents common hacking methods used to gain entry to modern vehicles, such as relay attacks and key range extending. This is because the Ghost system is completely silent and does not emit signals that could be detected by a thief using RF scanning or code grabbing technology.
The Ghost system features the valet or service mode which allows your vehicle to be temporarily started and driven, without the requirement for a PIN code. This is great when you park your vehicle and only need to leave it for a brief time in order to open the garage door or place groceries in the boot. The system will then exit the service mode based on the speed and duration, or via a simple PIN code input process. This gives you total assurance that only you can drive your vehicle!
Keyless Entry
Many customers are looking for extra security measures because of the rising trend of thefts from cars using contactless. This is especially true for those who invested time and money in customizing their car or own expensive cars. Add-on immobilisers can be an effective way to deter this kind of theft, because they will stop your car from starting until the correct pin code is entered, along with your key fob.
Immobilisers are designed to intercept various vehicle circuits such as ones that control the starter motor and fuel pump. They also have the capability of shutting off the car alarm in order to draw attention to and frighten away any potential thieves.
These devices communicate with the engine control unit (ECU) via the CAN data circuit, and they stop thieves from trying to get around it by installing a new ECU or by using the key programmer. These immobilisers are installed in a discreet manner inside your vehicle, leaving no trace and are totally undetectable by the tools that high-tech thieves employ.
Unlike other systems that require a specific application, or a tag to be worn on the person of the driver, a Ghost immobiliser can only be disarmed by pressing a sequence of the existing electronic buttons on your steering wheel, door panel, and central console, allowing you to choose a custom pin sequence. The pin can be changed as often as you'd like, meaning the device is as secure as a credit card, and is even more difficult to crack because it requires up to 20 press.
Ghost also offers a Valet/Service mode that allows you to deactivate the system if your vehicle will be handed over to valet parking or service which allows it to work within certain parameters such as a 30mph speed limit, so you don't have to worry about your car being driven at a reckless speed. The system can be reactivated with the original key or corresponding entry code.
