How to Use the Ghost 2 Immobiliser

This how to use the Ghost 2 Immobiliser guide is ideal for car drivers new to the Ghost. We have found, the customers most likely to have difficulties are those who have bought the car with the system already installed. These drivers have not gone through a ‘handover’ and become frustrated with the system.

The Ghost Immobiliser means that you cannot just jump into the car and go. You need to wait for the 2 flashes or beeps on the buzzer before starting the vehicle. Without this pause, the vehicle can remain immobilised, or on rare occasions, throw up an engine management light.

Using the Ghost 2 Step-by-Step Guide

Automatic Keyless Vehicle:

  1. Open the car as usual and jump into the driver’s seat.
  2. Keep feet OFF the pedals, and push the start button.
  3. Enter your Ghost 2 code from buttons already in the car – (4-12 buttons)
  4. Wait for the 2 flashes or beeps.
  5. Place your foot on the brake pedal and push the start button.

Manual Car:

  1. Open the car as usual and jump into the driver’s seat.
  2. Keep feet OFF the pedals, and turn the key to the first ignition position.
  3. Enter your Ghost 2 code from buttons already in the car – (4-12 buttons)
  4. Wait for the 2 flashes or beeps.
  5. Place your foot on the clutch pedal and turn the key fully to start the car.

It is worth noting that inputting the button sequence should be done not too quick or slow. Generally the button push should be one every half a second, followed by the two flashes.

Therefore, the Ghost 2 sequence takes about 7 seconds in all. Once you get into the habit of doing it, the new procedure becomes simply part of starting the car.

People who are impatient and rush the 7 seconds, are people most likely to see an engine management light come on.

If you really can’t get on with the Ghost 2 then you can have it removed. Installers can remove all traces and return the vehicle to factory standard.

There is also the option of adding a tag to the ghost. This means you will no longer enter a code but will still have to wait for the 2 flashes.
