It would be great if the system could detect door opening while it’s running, drive a few meters then prompt for code. This would helpful in instances of hijacking instead of waiting for the next start. In South Africa thieves might need that one drive to get to their destination and then strip the car.
Nice video, am just looking at getting this installed, quesyion is the a disable code function for if you want to leave your car with a detailer and he may need to move it?
Installing this in my brand new Toyota Corolla. Don't care if it's a Corolla. My old car was rear ended and deemed a write off and I was taking a bus for 10 months until I got my new car. Worse experience ever. I live in Canada and they're stealing any vehicle they can get their hands on so getting an immobilizer is better than no car.
Mannn some shit don’t need to be explained!! I don’t care if it’s a scion.. or the first ford ever made .. 😂😂😂 that’s your hard earned money and time.. and it’s the principal
You can do that from your phone. I have the Mercedes Me app with remote access function. You can lock the car and the app warns you that the car will double lock and not be able to be unlocked from inside.
What happens if you have to take your car to service? Surely they’d need to have your code to test drive the car after servicing it? Or can you amend / disable the code for that purpose?
It has a service valet mode that allows it to be started and driven but if it goes over 32mph it will reactivate the code. So if the take fir road test, drive over 32mph and then drive it onto a ramp 9f the garage, it will need tge code to start again.
@@itsimty How big the hardware is and how much will it cost ?? and is it something I can install it on my own or need a proper Electrician to do the job ?
Immobilizers can break down while driving thus bringing the car to a complete halt . Is there a bypass switch for the complete unit somewhere in the event this happens ?
With the ghost this will never happen, as it’s imbedded into the cars wiring loom and is apart of the can system once deactivated it stays dormant until the ignition is cycled
This Ghost2 should have simple 1 one more thing function, every time when someone open the driver door while engine running You should have put the code again. Simple immo units for £10-15 have it but why not in £500 worth Ghost?
No it’s fitted in to can-bus like original cars immobiliser. So taking battery power off then re connect would make no difference. I recommend can phantom over this device tho. Hope this helps
Just had my wifes car taken at midday in a busy carpark! It was a 10 plate smax, i thought it would never happen to us and it did! Will deffo get one of these fitted if we have keyless again? Do they only work on electric selector auto cars or do they work on manual cars too? I dont see how a canbus system will detect a mechanical gear select...
Thanks for the awesome video. I am planning to get the Ghost Immobiliser soon. I want to know if I can turn Ghost Immobiliser system off when I give the car for service or if the system has Valet mode/temporary mode. I don’t want to reveal my code to Valet or even the authorised dealer whilst the car is getting parked or even serviced. If this does not have that option are you aware of any other immobiliser that has this option available?
@@Wazzy-q9w in that case I'm assuming the wiring is connected to differentiate between an auto-stop/auto-start and switching off at the stop/start button. But what if the car stalls, will then also restart?
i have one problem with this ghost....I have had it installed , however once it is put in gear it shuts off...theif runs BUT ...iti s now in neutral....it will roll away on any incline. thats a problem
Yeah but that's a lot of effort if that's your only resort. Less chance of that happening and if it does, they would get your car regardless of a Ghost or not
Living in South Africa and knowing how our local guys work, it's only a matter of time before they're familiar with this system. They kill for a cellphone, or less. During a hijacking they'll check if it cuts out, and if it does, they'll threaten to kill you if you don't give them the code, and even if you do, there's still a good chance they'll kill you simply because you have the system.
I’m getting a brand new car very soon and it has keyless entry and I’m thinking of getting this on my car but I’m a bit worried if it ramdomly don’t work etc …. Or you forgot the codes etc …. If you could explain how this works in detail if you forget the pin etc …, you could get my money on this system as it looks very good
Rubbish, I had my Range Rover stolen and i had a Ghost fitted. The thief opened the bonnet then went under the fuse box and activated the factory start, only posting this so other people know it to can be overcome, in saying that it took them half an hour, so im not saying not to get the Ghost but you should also add another layer of protection i myself had another one put in but also had a tracking system installed
@@itsimty very true but in all honesty if you have a newer vehicle most likely insurance will pay you more then what a trade in value is so you can get a brand new vehicle for nothing. That’s a score to me.. lol
You compromise your insurance price and things though. Have to say you’ve made a claim in the past X amount of years. Have to go through the hassle of finding another car. If it’s your only vehicle in the household then you’ve suddenly got not car. Insurance can take months to pay out sometimes. Any personal possessions you had in the car are gone. I’ve just had my fiesta st stolen and I wasn’t really clued up on how easy it was to take modern day cars and I live in a nice area so don’t really have problems with theft, but was visiting my girlfriend near London and that’s where it was stolen. I loved the car to bits and wish I knew about ghost systems etc before but sadly I’ve had to learn the hard way and I’m devastated about it
@@TimmyTheSnail same thing happened to me, came down to visit my mother for new years. Parked up, went sleep, came back next day my fiesta was gone😭 terrible feeling, still waiting on my insurance to payout.
Would you advise putting to window stickers on the car ?
Yes would be a deterrent
Someone said it will advertise to the thieves so they could put a knife to your throat asking you to disarm the vehicle
@@itsimty dnt put window sticker on the car they will know ghost is there
goodness no, you run the risk of being threatened for the code thats a bad idea. Its something you know that the thief doesnt
Auto stop start on my car so every time I stop I’ll have to put code in .
I'm yet another victim of keyless entry theft, will look into this for my next car

I think that Igla system is doing that
What about serving the car with dealers. Do you have to change it.
Nice video, am just looking at getting this installed, quesyion is the a disable code function for if you want to leave your car with a detailer and he may need to move it?
That’s not an issue you can just put the car into valet mode
@@itsimty What's to stop thief putting it into valet mode before driving off?
Hi - How ling does it take to install on a ford focus 2017
What if you disconnect the battery for a few weeks? Will the ghost still work when yiu reconnect or does it need constant battery power to work?
Will still work as it’s hard wired into the cars wiring system

Where in canada and what company install the ghost mobilzer and what is the cost?
@@gualbertchristopher1329 In Mississauga, however my experience was not the greatest and I didn't get the immobilizer installed.
Mannn some shit don’t need to be explained!! I don’t care if it’s a scion.. or the first ford ever made .. 😂😂😂 that’s your hard earned money and time.. and it’s the principal
Will you have to put the code in if you accidentally stall?
What about start stop system??
Doesn’t affect the start stop system
@@itsimty where can I get it installed in the us like Vegas area?
Awesome product
Can't see any one taking a car with a ghost immobiliser 2 fitted
What do you recommend, ghost or pandora with car alarm and motion, shock and tilt sensors included too?
Can you program the locks and trap the thief inside?
You can do that from your phone. I have the Mercedes Me app with remote access function. You can lock the car and the app warns you that the car will double lock and not be able to be unlocked from inside.
do they sell in the USA...this is amazing need this
what happens when the button breaks you have used to set it.
What happens if you have to take your car to service? Surely they’d need to have your code to test drive the car after servicing it? Or can you amend / disable the code for that purpose?
M sure it has service mode . Idk
You disable it before taking it to the garage
It has a service valet mode that allows it to be started and driven but if it goes over 32mph it will reactivate the code. So if the take fir road test, drive over 32mph and then drive it onto a ramp 9f the garage, it will need tge code to start again.
Hey brother had this installed and the car got stolen within 60 secs after switching the engine off ? How is this possible ?
Hey Mate,
Can you Install a Ghost code on a car in Canada, while sitting in UK remotely ?
Yes but you will need to find a installer to install the hardware
@@itsimty How big the hardware is and how much will it cost ??
and is it something I can install it on my own or need a proper Electrician to do the job ?
You will need a ghost immobiliser approved installer to carry out the install unfortunately this is not something you can do yourself
Immobilizers can break down while driving thus bringing the car to a complete halt . Is there a bypass switch for the complete unit somewhere in the event this happens ?

Simple immo units for £10-15 have it but why not in £500 worth Ghost?
500 with installation and VAt and everything ?
Can they just disconnect the battery & re connect the battery to re start everything?
No it’s fitted in to can-bus like original cars immobiliser. So taking battery power off then re connect would make no difference.
I recommend can phantom over this device tho.
Hope this helps

Sad to hear this, this device will work on any vehicle which has canbus
Immobilizer cuts the engine out, type of gearbox doesn't matter

Is it for keyless entry cars only?
Any car that has canbus system
My car was stolen yesterday. I will get this on my new one.
Sorry to hear this I would recommend you investing in the ghost
What is when you forget the code?
You will have to have a google search buddy we are in the U.K
My question is : could this pin also be hacked with this game boy style devices?
What about manual cars?
Could you show us without details a signal boost and start. Thanks.
Does this work on automatic and cars with start stop technology
Good question! Why no answer?
yes
@@Wazzy-q9w in that case I'm assuming the wiring is connected to differentiate between an auto-stop/auto-start and switching off at the stop/start button. But what if the car stalls, will then also restart?

Don't know how old your car is but all my recent cars automatically go into park when engine is turned off.
Does it stop them from getting car into neutral/release handbrake and loading on back of a truck?
Yeah but that's a lot of effort if that's your only resort. Less chance of that happening and if it does, they would get your car regardless of a Ghost or not
@@jask00 yeah fair point
What if the auto start feature is active?
In another comment he said it doesn't affect it.
If you decide to sell your car can you take it out and put it in another car
fuel cut off and a battery cutoff switch is much cheaper
Where you based my bro?
@@Babz007 Derby
Thanks, brother
Good video, what city you guys based in?
I think they are based in Derby
What about if I’ve got start stop on would that trigger the alarm
No.

get a gun

You put it in service mode

Best thing to do is give us a call on 01332 756535 and we can give you all the info you need.
But what stops them from taking it off
they dont know where it is, only the fitter has a record. If you ever dont want it, it just gets deactivated no need to remove it.
It's not a feature I like. Keyless entry should be banned.. Good video. 👍
Can I get one in India??
You would have to locate a dealer in India
@@itsimty looks like we have none!
can you install Ghost on a non-keyless car?
Yes
Bros car is sexy ❤
Can’t a thief just remove the system?
The device is imbedded into the wiring loom of the vehicle and is very difficult to find

U got have start stop switched off
No you don't. It works with start stop. It only kicks in if the ignition is interrupted!
In all honesty if it’s stolen my insurance will pay me for the vehicle so I will just get a new vehicle. But yes it’s cool.
Yes but would you rather not prevent the theft ? Prevention is better than cure, Thank you for watching

What happens when your car is at a garage for repair or MOT :/
You can put the car into service mode whilst it’s at the garage, this will allow the vehicle to be started
This is system can be by passed. Two cases I know of now
Hi would you say Pandora storm plus is better than ghost immobilizer?
Thanks
Try can phantom instead
Better deactivate the start/stop feature.
