How to Install a Ghost Immobiliser A ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from key cloning or hacking. It prevents the engine from starting until a PIN code has been entered. This could be as long as 20 characters. This extra layer of protection is not detectable by thieves who might not be aware of it. Certain systems have an app that allows the owner to disarm their immobiliser if they forget their PIN or use service/valet mode. Connecting to the vehicle's CAN bus The Ghost 2 Immobiliser is an advanced security system that can be incorporated into your vehicle's ECU, providing a discreet line of defence against thieves. It is highly efficient and user-friendly. This makes it an excellent addition to your vehicle's arsenal of security. But, as with any other anti-theft device, it's not 100% reliable and requires regular maintenance to ensure proper operation. This guide will help you get the most of your Ghost 2 immobiliser. CAN (Controller Area Network) is a reliable serial network that allows microcontrollers to communicate with one another in short distances, without the need for a central control unit. It is designed to multiply electrical wiring in vehicles, which saves on copper. It offers many advantages, such as low cost and easy use. In most modern cars, the CAN protocol is used to communicate with a variety of systems, such as the engine management system (EMS) steering module, transmission controller as well as air conditioning controls and many more. It also carries sensor information like speed sensors, as well as other inputs, to regulate the car's various features. The CAN bus is used to monitor these diverse components, and it can stop a vehicle from starting if they're in a dangerous state. It's crucial to understand how the CAN bus functions and how it's secured. It's possible to add new features to a vehicle using CAN bus, but it's important to secure it against threats from hackers and other types. Installing a firewall, and monitoring your CAN-bus using software is the best way to achieve this. Ghost2's control device is hidden in the car's dashboard or wiring harness, preventing an intruder from physically altering it. It is also impossible to reset a PIN or emergency code without having access to the vehicle. If you need to give your car away for servicing, valet parking or for any other reason, you can use the Transport Mode. This feature will disable both the keyfob and ignition functions of the Ghost immobiliser. It will only be activated after the vehicle has travelled 31 mph for a period of 15 minutes. Creating a PIN code The Ghost immobiliser protects your car from theft. The latest technology utilizes the PIN code to disable the engine and prevent it from running without the correct code or an authorized fob or mobile device. The system's subtle design makes it virtually invisible and also provides unbeatable protection against theft. Furthermore, the system is TASSA certified and can lead to significant savings on car insurance premiums. During installation when you install the Ghost system goes into an learning mode that records the sequence of buttons pressed to create your unique pin code. The installer will guide you through activating the system once the pin code has been created. Once activated the Ghost system shuts down the motor that starts your vehicle unless you enter a valid PIN or switch the vehicle to transport mode. This makes it very difficult for thieves or cloners who want to hack or replicate your starter system. It is easy to install an easy-to-install Ghost immobiliser, but you must follow the precise instructions in the user's manual to ensure that it is operating properly. Basic hand tools can assist in making the perfect connections and a multimeter can help you verify the electrical parameters. Insulation tape, heat shrink tubing, and cable ties can be utilized to shield wires from damage. Also, make sure to check the system on a regular basis to find any problems and potential errors. After the installation is completed, it is important to make a final test of the system before switching on the ignition of your vehicle. Ghost immobilisers will arm themselves after 3 to 30 seconds, dependent on the model of your vehicle. The system is also equipped with a Service/Valet Mode which lets you temporarily disable the system for servicing or valet parking. Ideally, the immobiliser should be hidden in a discreet location beneath the steering wheel or on the dashboard. Make use of a small piece of tape or paint on the CAN H and L wires to make them easier to locate when you are testing. The CAN H and the L wires should be connected to an electrical source that provides continuous 12V. It is also essential to check the connections following testing, since misidentifying these wires can cause the system to fail. Activating the system A ghost immobiliser stops your car from starting unless you press a set of buttons inside the vehicle typically the steering wheel, door panel or central console. The sequence is determined by the user and can be altered if necessary. Once the system is activated it cannot be deactivated by thieves which makes it a great option for anyone who wishes to secure their vehicle from theft. The system is designed to be undetectable, meaning it isn't detected by modern diagnostics or code-grabbing technologies. It does not emit radio frequencies, making it even harder for thieves to find. If the device is located, it will stop the engine from starting. It will also sound an alarm to scare the burglar away. The device can be used to monitor the location of a car, which will aid in the search for the vehicle in the event that it has been stolen. If you're interested in a ghost immobiliser get in touch with the experts at Car Specalist Customs to get an estimate and discuss your options. We are certified to install ghost immobilisers in your vehicle. We will ensure that it is concealed in an area that is hard to reach. We can also install additional security measures, such as a kill switch and wheel lock to protect your vehicle from theft. Disarming the system It's important to understand how to deactivate the Ghost immobiliser if fitted to your car. This will assist you in the event that you lock your keys in the car or if your battery goes out of. The system is based on a unique PIN code that only you know, which means the immobiliser won't start your vehicle unless you enter this code. The most efficient method of entering the code is to press a combination of buttons on your dashboard or the steering wheel. This is much simpler than using a key fob and keeps others from copying the remote. Contrary to other aftermarket immobilisers which require cutting wires for installation, Ghost2 is non-invasive and is compatible with your vehicle's bus network to function. Its most prominent feature is that it shuts off the engine without affecting vehicle functions. This makes it difficult for thieves to use signal boosts or to clone keys for cars. Additionally, it doesn't emit radio frequencies, which means thieves can't detect the system. The Ghost system has an option called Transport Mode that allows you to temporarily disable security for certain situations such as service or transportation. This feature is a great option when you need to lend your vehicle to a person who isn't sharing the PIN number or when you wish to secure your vehicle while driving it. Press the service button five times over 2 seconds to activate the Transport Mode. The Ghost system will confirm activation with five indication signals. Save the emergency code in your vehicle in a secure location. If you happen to find yourself locked out of your vehicle, you can contact the technician or company that installed the system and they will provide you with the code. If you are unable contact them, you can call an authorized dealer. However, this could involve verification procedures, and you could be charged additional fees. Apart from the ease of this system, you can rely on it to protect your vehicle from theft and help reduce the cost of insurance. Many insurance companies offer reduced costs or financial incentives for those who install this anti-theft system.
