moodle-wiki-thr.tu-ilmenau.de developed to be among the most effective security systems available. The system works by using buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console and pedals to input the pin code into the vehicle's system. This will disable the engine. This stops thieves from stealing your car, even if they have the keys or fob.
The Ghost also comes with high-security features to prevent the device from being compromised or hacked by thieves. This includes CAN bus blocking and a physical cut to the immobiliser.

This system also works with your vehicles factory fitted immobiliser to add an separate layer of security, preventing the thief from starting your car, even if they have your key or fob. This protects the value of your resales and keeps your family and you secure.
If your Ghost has stopped working it can often be a sign of other issues which are not Ghost related. Try entering valet or service modes on your Ghost to test this. This will remove your Ghost from the vehicle, and you should be in a position to start the car. If you're unable to do this, there could be an issue with your Ghost installation or there could be another issue causing this.
You should never attempt to remove a ghost yourself unless you're an expert. You are dealing with a delicate and complex system that controls your engine. This can cause damage if handled incorrectly and can be extremely dangerous. We suggest that you contact the installer for assistance.
2. No ignition
Immobilisers are used in modern cars to stop the vehicle from starting if your key does not match the one that is programmed in. This is accomplished by transmitting a transponder code from the key to the immobiliser, which then checks it against the codes stored in it. If the codes match, the engine will start. But a number of things can cause this system to fail, including a missing or stolen key, a damaged or uncoded transponder, or electrical issues like a broken immobiliser antenna wiring, which typically surrounds the ignition cylinder. It's also possible that the codes are being misinterpreted by multiple keys, like having a spare key, or an automobile with two transponders in the same key.
When the immobiliser does not function properly, it could be impossible to start your car. This can give thieves the impression that the system is not working and they may steal the vehicle with the pride and joy of the owner. This is a great investment for all car owners particularly those who own luxury vehicles which can be hard to sell after having been damaged or stolen.
The ghost immobiliser is a subtle device that can be hidden almost everywhere in your vehicle which makes it unnoticeable to car thieves.

It doesn't have LED indicators and is quiet and therefore thieves will not even be aware that it exists. The Ghost is TASSA accredited and Insurance Approved. This means it can be fitted by an approved installer and help to protect your investment from key cloning and hacking.
