It is not recommended to attempt to remove ghosts on your own unless you have the knowledge. This is because you work with a complex and sensitive system that directly controls your engine. It's risky and could cause serious damage if handled it incorrectly. We recommend you call the installer for assistance.

2. No ignition

Modern cars use immobilisers that stop your vehicle from starting if the key doesn't match the one that is programmed into it. This is done by sending a transponder number from the key to the immobiliser which then checks it against the codes stored in it. If the codes are the same the engine will begin. The system could fail due to a variety of reasons, such as a stolen or missing key or a damaged transponder, one that's not coded, or electrical problems, such as a broken immobiliser antenna wire, which is a part of the ignition cylinder. Multiple keys can also cause confusion with the codes, such as a spare or a vehicle with two transponders on the same key.

If the immobiliser doesn't function properly, it could be impossible to start your vehicle. This can give thieves the impression that the system is not working and they are able to steal with the joy and pride of the owner. This makes it a good investment for any car owner, but especially those who own luxury vehicles which can be hard to sell once they've been stolen or damaged.
