picking up the car soon and wanting to put a decent alarm/immobiliser on it. Tried to have a look but honestly me heads scrambled with it. What’s everyone putting on there’s. I’ve purchased a couple of key bags and a steering disc lock but wanting something behind the scenes incase they do get in. Leaning towards the Pandora but just wondered what’s the general senses. Thanks.
@bobcat which version have you got? The ghost 2? Been reading on here a few people have had problems with them. Where as the Pandora has the ability to add on features afterwards. Such as tracking and remote start. Would it be wise to fit a ghost first so if they got into the car they wouldn’t be able to start it where as the Pandora uses a different band so it would be harder for them to gain entry in the first place and it’s also got the card so won’t start without it. I’m confused!!! Thanks for any input
@Jay, I had Ghost 1 System on mine. Absolutely no issues with it at all and the fact you can customise the code to suit yourself was a bonus. But you and only you know were you live and the places you go and if you feel safe choosing another system that’s up to you.
Correct me if I am wrong but Pandora requires another remote which would deter me from that. I have Ghost1 butGhost2 has more features like enabling auto locking which ghost1 doesn’t. Not had a problem with mine fitted since November 2016.
Might get the ghost now as even if they get in the car they wont be able to start it. Which is a big plus. Thanks for the input guys. @coastliner yeah you have a separate fob that if it’s not within a 5-10 metre range it wont let the car continue to drive. Think it’s an anti car jacking device. But if the battery goes you’ve got 90 seconds to make a safe stop until the car cuts out.
Ghost 1 does have auto lock coast, the only difference, according to AW themselves, is that 2 can have two phones paired to it, if you use the app. G1 only allows 1 x phone.
To activate menu, ign on, enter code, depress and hold Accel pedal, raise passenger window the desired amount of times according to above list. Indicators will flash the number of times to confirm. Remove foot from Accel and turn off ign.
Who do you guys use to install ghost then? I was going to phone Gary Howarth up from Rochdale and see what he thought as he did loads of work on st and he was really good if anyone’s used him on here before. Or is there someone closer as I live in Rotherham and it’s near enough a 3 and a bit hour round trip. Which I don’t mind to be fair. I’d go to lands end if that’s where best bloke was. This will probably be last car I ever buy so trying to look after it. Thanks.
