Using The Ghost. Service/Valet. Changing your personal pin Code.

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.
  2. Drive to, and park up at the dealership, airport, valeter’s etc and while the engine is still running, 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

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 or High beam – 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 pull
  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
  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.
