Ghost - Change disarm sequence

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 or high beam on Land rover/ Range rover / Jag

  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 or high beam on Land rover/ Range rover / Jag

  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 / Land rover/ Range rover / Jag - 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.

Ghost - Service / valet mode

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.

Ghost - Problems entering disarm sequence

These tips are helpful if you are trying to enter your disarm sequence are not getting your 2 flash confirmation that the Ghost is disarmed. 

  • Are there any switches that need to be in a particular position before entering the code (mirror adjustment, cruise control on, fan on etc.)

  • Are you waiting for the 2 flash confirmation before trying to start

  • Try waiting 5 seconds before trying to enter the disarm sequence, if that does not work try waiting 10 seconds after switching on ignition before trying the disarm sequence

  • Make sure you are switching on full ignition, not just accessory power. The dash lights should all light up and then most of them will turn off

Finally if none of these are working try these things.

  1. Use the 4 digit emergency code on the back of the emergency code behind the scratch off area (check card for details)

  2. Remove the vehicle battery for 2 minutes and try the normal process again

​​ Note that when enter your emergency code on some Audi / VW / SEAT / Skoda / Bentley / Land rover/ Range rover / Jaguar - if the accelerator does not work use the high-beam flash (pull towards the driver) to the on position.​​

​

​

Entering emergency pin code

Use the 4 digit emergency code on the back of the emergency code behind the scratch off area (check card for details) 

As an example we will use 1 2 3 4.

1 - Turn on the ignition.

Now using the brake and accelerator pedal or high beam if the accelerator pedal doesn't work.

2 - Press and hold the brake pedal down.

3 - Press the accelerator pedal or pull the high beam 1 time for digit 1 (example pin code)

4 - Release the brake pedal and then press and hold the brake pedal down. (Ready for the next digit)

5 - Press the accelerator pedal or pull the high beam 2 time for digit 2 (example pin code)

6 - Release the brake pedal and then press and hold the brake pedal down. (Ready for the next digit)

7 - Press the accelerator pedal or pull the high beam 3 time for digit 3 (example pin code)

8 - Release the brake pedal and then press and hold the brake pedal down. (Ready for the next digit)

9 - Press the accelerator pedal or pull the high beam 4 time for digit 4 (example pin code)

10 - Release the brake pedal and then press and hold the brake pedal down. (Ready for the next digit)

​

If your code has worked you should now have an indicator flash or beep if you have a buzzer installed every 3 seconds. You can now start the vehicle or change the pin code to some working buttons in the vehicle.

​

if you want to change the pin release the accelerator pedal or high beam.

(for every button press you will get a flash back or beep as confirmation)

1 - Enter the new disarm sequence

2 -Wait for 3 flashes

3 - Enter the new disarm sequence again

4 - 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.
