Hi guys,
Was looking at getting this installed but wasn't sure who to go with for installation.
Is anyone from or near Halifax West Yorkshire had it fitted or know of a decent supplier?
Cheers,
Mark at SAS is an approved installer.
Fitted mine and seemed a decent enough chap.
Plus he comes to you.
How much did he charge and how long does it take to install.
Cheers mate
20mins.
Price was an offer at the time from another owners forum.
It normally retails at £399
Drop him an email.
I was looking to get Ghost installed recently and called in at a local vehicle alarm and auto elec specialist - they showed me that Ghost is really easy to bypass - I won't post how on here, but it took about 10 seconds for them to demo to me. Needless to say I'm not getting it installed - I'm going for Clifford Blackjax instead - similar immobiliser/anti hijack device, but seems like much harder to get around.

It wasn't the same as the youtube videos I've seen where they just keep trying until eventually the car starts - it was a repeatable sequence of events that would be easily carried out by a would-be thief. I was quite surprised, as I thought Ghost had good reviews etc. Maybe it was because it had an older version of Ghost installed on the vehicle in question, or maybe something specific about that vehicle that made it behave this way, I'm not sure. They were removing it from the vehicle they used to demo the work-around and replacing with blackjax 5 I think.If it’s the same as the YouTube video then it’s not applicable to newer cars.

I agree - it's all about making it as hard / time consuming as possible for any thief - does anybody have any experience with other immobilisers? Are there any other recommendations?Realistically I think any device like this can be bypassed, but it's about making it as hard as possible for a thief to steal your car. I dare say a thief is interested in a quick in-and-out steal, not one where they'd have to faff about with locating an anti-theft device like this and then working out how to disable it. I dare say that as soon as the engine doesn't start they would run off and find an easier steal.
I can't see how this is possible either + if true why aren't we hearing about ghost cars getting nicked.I was looking to get Ghost installed recently and called in at a local vehicle alarm and auto elec specialist - they showed me that Ghost is really easy to bypass - I won't post how on here, but it took about 10 seconds for them to demo to me.

Don't reveal what you did if it does work mind!Ok, so i have the instructions from Pete. I'll try this tonight/tomorrow (as it's slightly more involved than pressing some buttons) and i'll report back!
I have ghost if you want me to try?OK, so I have a few private conversations going now so if people try the workaround I saw they can report back.
I hope this is total nonsense and it turns out that it was just something to do with the install or the vehicle... we should know soon.

Good thing about the Clifford is the car can be driven away then stops away from you,
That's why you buy a secondary security device for your home, it's called a crossbowThe lack of this feature is what has put me off from installing Ghost. These thieves seem to have no fear, if the car wont start, they will either come into the house and demand a code, or tow the car. There are enough examples of this happening now.
Ghost in a public car park is great, but it does add an additional risk if the theft is happening outside your home.
Good news Sean, hope this is the case with others on here that are checking.
I'll call back into the car security place tomorrow and see if I can understand why the car they showed me behaved the way it did.
Would be good to understand why.
Sorry if I've caused any stress over this for everyone with ghost fitted!
I'll report back if I find out any more.
Cheers, Pete.

PM'd with instructions - although from the response Sean got it sounds like an install issue on the car I saw.I would like to try on mine please...
I still think it is a sales tactic, or lack of understanding though, as I said, some systems are set up to let the car start, but you could not put it in gear or drive without the engine dying.
