Simple process to change the PIN code
Ghost is the next-generation device that locks your car without cutting wires, or installing key fobs from an aftermarket. It connects directly to the vehicle’s CAN data network. A personalised PIN can be set by pressing buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The device doesn’t emit RF signals, which means it is unable to be manipulated. This makes it inaccessible to sophisticated RF scanning or code grabbing technologies that modern thieves use.
The PIN code sequence can be altered whenever you want to block previous drivers and even includes an override code incase of lost sequences. The installer will demonstrate how to do this during installation. The system comes with a valet-mode feature that allows you to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that your garage or mechanic can service the vehicle without having to know the pin number. This is a great option for customers who don’t want their PIN sequence to be divulged, but wish to leave their car with valet parking or service.
Ghost is an unobtrusive system that utilizes the buttons on your car to create a unique and interchangeable PIN sequence. This sequence is entered through the smartphone app, meaning that no additional LEDs are being thrown, and your vehicle is safe from the risk of being disabled by hackers or any other technology.
Tested for each vehicle
