Benefits of the Ghost II Immobiliser​

The Ghost II Immobiliser is designed to combat the most advanced forms of vehicle theft, such as key cloning and relay attacks​

Once the Ghost II Immobiliser is armed, it completely blocks the vehicle’s engine from starting until the correct PIN code is entered. This ensures that even if a thief has access to your keys, they cannot drive away with your car. The immobiliser acts as a digital barrier, preventing unauthorized users from taking control of your vehicle.

When you take your car for maintenance or to a valet, the Ghost II Immobiliser offers a convenient service mode. This allows you to deactivate the system temporarily without giving away your PIN. During this mode, the car can be started without the need for the immobiliser, but the system remains armed and ready for reactivation. This ensures that your car remains secure even when others need to handle it.

Installed discreetly and hidden into the original wiring harness of the vehicle the Ghost II immobiliser effectively becoming part of the vehicle’s own electrical system. Even with a cloned key unless the PIN code is entered correctly the vehicle will be immobilised. There are no radio frequencies from third-party keyfobs or remotes. All of this combined makes the Ghost II system completely undetectable to a vehicle thief.

FAQ

Ghost II Immobiliser Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Ghost II Immobiliser prevent my car from being stolen?

A: It blocks the engine from starting unless a unique PIN is entered using your car’s buttons, preventing thieves from driving away.

  1. A: The stop/start eco mode on modern cars is a very complicated and sensitive system that requires just the right inputs before it will work correctly. These include battery voltage, engine temperature, external temperature, what electrical systems are active and many more. When the system does not work as expected it can be very difficult to diagnose what is causing the problem, in almost all cases it is not Ghost related but here are a few things you can try if you are having a problem and suspect it is Ghost related. Alternatively if your engine will not restart when stop/start is active then there is a different test you can do, see below.

Check in service / valet mode

If you enter service / valet mode your Ghost will effectively be as if it was disconnected from the car. This will allow you to see if the Ghost is having any impact on the stop/start functionality. Try these steps to make sure the vehicle is ready for the test.

  1. Start and drive normally without entering service mode. Make sure the vehicle is warm (20 minutes should do it) and that the battery is fully charged. If you vehicle has not been driven much or the battery is old make sure that it is fully charged before trying this test.
  2. Confirm that stop/start is not working as expected. In many cars there is a menu in the infotainment system that will give some indication as to why the system is not working.
  3. Stop somewhere and put the Ghost into service / valet mode by pressing the service button 5 times. Make sure to get the 5 flashes to confirm that this was successful.
  4. Switch off the ignition and lock the car, wait 60 seconds.
  5. Unlock and start without entering the disarm sequence (PIN code)
  6. Do another test drive to see if the stop/start is now functioning. If it is still not functioning then it is most likely not a Ghost related problem.

Engine not restarting with stop/start

If the stop/start is intermittently working fine but intermittently the engine will not restart then try this.

  1. Make sure you are waiting for the 2 flash confirmation of disarm BEFORE starting
  2. If that does not solve the problem then follow the steps above to see if the problem is Ghost related by using the service / valet mode test
  3. If there are occasional flashes of the indication whilst driving then you need to contact your installation company as there is a physical problem with either the installation or the Ghost.

  1. A: Changing your disarm sequence (PIN code) can be done at any time but there are few things that you will need know before you can complete this process successfully.

    1. What buttons are available on your vehicle – this information should have been given to you by your installer as there are variations between vehicle versions and specifications.
    2. Is your vehicle using the alternative to the accelerator input – check the list at the end of this article
    3. What is your indication signal and how fast does it react – some vehicles have slow indications that are fine for normal operation but can be confusing when in sequence change mode, check the end of this article for some examples
    4. Each button press needs to be within 2 seconds of the previous button press otherwise the Ghost will consider the sequence completed
    5. Some buttons are only active up to 5 seconds after the ignition has been switched on
    6. Some buttons require a long press (half a second) before activating, a short press will not register
    7. The disarm sequence can be between 4 and 20 presses of any of the working buttons and buttons can be repeated
    8. The service/valet button however can only be used 4 times in the disarm sequence
    9. Decide what you want your new sequence to be before starting this procedure!

    To start the process you need to have either the normal disarm sequence or the emergency override code (on the card)

    Using the normal disarm sequence

    To enter sequence change mode you need to follow these steps

    1. Switch on the ignition without starting the engine
    2. Enter the current disarm sequence – 2 flash confirmation
    3. Press and hold the accelerator pedal to the floor
    4. Enter the current disarm sequence again – indication will start to flash once every 3 seconds, this means the Ghost is in learn mode
    5. Release the accelerator pedal
    6. Enter the new disarm sequence
    7. Wait for 3 flashes
    8. Enter the new disarm sequence again
    9. 2 flashes confirms that the process was successful, 4 flashes means there was an error. If there was an error the disarm sequence will not be changed.

    Using the emergency code

    If you have forgotten to disarm sequence or it is not working for whatever reason you can use the emergency code on the black card that came with your Ghost. The number you are looking for is the 4 digit number under the scratch off area. To use this you need to follow the steps provided in the Emergency code help section

    Having problems with this?

    1. On new BMW (G chassis) there is no traditional ignition state, to enter the correct mode press quickly the start button 3 times until diagnostic mode is active and the instrument lamps become active.
    2. If the process is not successful you should always be able to use the old disarm sequence, this will not be erased at any point.
    3. Vehicles is alternative inputs for accelerator
      1. Porsche models before 2018 – press and hold the hazard switch to simulate the accelerator being pressed and held
      2. Some Audi / VW / SEAT / Skoda / Bentley – if the accelerator does not work use the high-beam flash (pull towards the driver)
      3. Some post 2017 Range Rover / Land Rover / Jaguar – if the accelerator does not work use the high-beam flash (pull towards the driver)
    4. On vehicle that use the accelerator as part of the disarm sequence you must move step 3 (press and hold accelerator) to the end of the disarm code repeat.
    5. Ignition is defined at when all the instrument lamps turn on and back off and the car is fully active. On some vehicles it this might take 2 presses of the start button without your foot on the clutch or brake.

  1. A: Service / valet mode allows you to hand over the keys to your car to someone without having to give them your disarm sequence. This way they get to know that your car is protected by the Ghost. Use this mode when you take your car for service or valet parking. Here are a few key points about service mode.

    • Allows for an indefinite amount for starts and drives without needing the disarm sequence
    • Turns off all key learning protection (this is still active when the Ghost is disarmed!)
    • Can be manually turned exited
    • Will exit automatically when driven for a reasonable time

    How to enter service / valet mode

    1. Disarm the system using your disarm sequence or mobile app
    2. Drive to, and park up at the dealership, airport, valeter’s etc and while the engine is still running, turn the app completely off then press your service button 5 times
    3. The indication lamp will flash back at you 5 times to confirm service / valet mode has been entered

    How to exit service / valet mode manually

    1. Simply enter your normal disarm sequence (must have an ignition cycle since service mode was entered)
    2. There will be the normal disarm 2 flash confirmation
    3. The next time the ignition is switched off the Ghost will rearm as normal

    How service / valet mode exits automatically

    1. Drive up to 31 mph (50 kph)
    2. Continue to drive (at any speed) for 15 minutes
    3. Once the time as elapsed there will be 2 flashes to indicate that service / valet mode has exited

    Note 1: If you switch off the ignition before the 15 minutes time has elapsed the Ghost will stay in service / valet mode

    Note 2: Should you not know what your service button is contact us or your installation company

  1. A: First,make sure you have the correct version of application for your particular version of the Ghost:

    Note: There is no Android version for the original Ghost. The Ghost-II application will not pair with an original Ghost.

    If you have any doubt if about which version you have just have a look at your card. If your card has “GHOST-II or Ghost-PRO” on the front it is a Ghost-II otherwise if it has “GHOST” on the front it is an original Ghost.

    For the original Ghost iOS version, please follow this link. 

    Pairing your phone with the Ghost requires the following process.

    Step 1: Download the appropriate application for your Ghost version and device. Make sure you have your emergency card which also has the Bluetooth pairing code cleared and readable.

    Step 2: Open the application and press the “+” button on the top right hand corner – for the original Ghost application open the setting menu in the application and select pair with vehicle. The application will now be searching for the Ghost

         

    Step 3: Get the Ghost into pairing mode by entering disarm sequence (PIN code) change mode and pressing the service/valet button once.

    Step 4: Wait for the Bluetooth pairing request to pop up on the phone, this can take up to 30 seconds but is normally very fast. Enter the 6 digit Bluetooth pairing code on the phone.

    Android app not pairing?

    If your Android application is not pairing follow this process to go to Settings->General management->Reset->Reset network settings and the select Reset.

              

  2.      

    On Ghost-II and Ghost-PRO units produced after mid 2019 the Bluetooth processor can be updated to improve the functioning of the phone application.

    1. Download the application for your phone.
      1. Apple store
      2. Google Play store
    2. Follow the steps in the application – select the light bulb icon at the top right -, remember to replace the accelerator with high-beam if your vehicle requires it
      1. Switch on ignition without starting the vehicle
      2. Enter the disarm sequence and wait for the double flash / beep
      3. Press and hold the accelerator (or pull the high-beam towards you if needed for your vehicle)
      4. Enter the disarm sequence again and wait for the flashing every 3 seconds
      5. Press the service button 20 times

A: No, the system is completely hidden within your vehicle’s electronics and is undetectable by diagnostic tools or scanners.

Q: Can I still use my car without entering the PIN?

A: Yes, the system has a valet/service mode that allows temporary deactivation for mechanics or valets without compromising security.

A: If you forget your PIN, an authorized installer can reset it for you using a secure process.

A: No, the Ghost II is non-intrusive and does not interfere with your vehicle’s electronics or warranty.
