Ghost II immobiliser on T6.1

[Taylorm]

I've recently had a Ghost II Immobiliser fitted which I believe may have started to cause a few issues:

• Heated front window screen has stopped working
• Battery warning light came on twice and advised it wasn't charging. The warning message has only appeared twice within the week it's been installed which is odd.
• Auto locking of my doors doesn't work when driving.

I called the company who installed and they are coming back next week to change the immobiliser as Autowatch have found a fault and need to swap it out on the T6.1 immoiliser.

I wanted to see if anyone else has had similar issues with putting a Ghost on a T6.1?

Cheers

I don't have one but was considering getting one, Thanks for the heads-up on potential issues, will be nice to hear a good conclusion!

What he said ^^^^^

Had one fitted to my t6.1 no problems at all

Could it be a faulty installation? I’m interested to hear if this is resolved because I am planning on having a Ghost fitted to my 6.1 next year when I get it.

Mines been fitted a week now and no issues to date

I will let you all know why mine has gone wrong once the engineer has been.

Engineer changed the software on my ghost tonight which sorted the issue around the door locking issue. He advised that autowatch were aware of the t6.1 but hadn’t told all of the companies who install them.

The heated screen was unrelated but he sorted that for me which was a bonus. As is the battery issue which I’ve got it booked into to VW to sort.

Worth checking with the company you get to install if they are aware of the known issues.

Best to get auto watch to fit ghosts rather than third parties

Not quite the same but, 3 months in and my Ghost 2 is working perfectly on/with my Crafter.

Good to read there's a solution!

My T6.1 has been in today for Ghost II, and despite using an Autowatch recommended fitter, all has not gone smoothly;

Ghost II installer NW?

Can anyone recommend a good mobile installer, in the NW (Chorley/Preston) for these? In light of the recent thread about problems with a T6.1 install, even better if your recommendation has done your T6.1 without issues! I wondered if fitting a T6 ghost II to a T6.1 could cause these sort of...

I was in contact with two local installers about getting one installed... I'm getting concerned with some of these faults being mentioned!

there's a solution to this in the handbook you should have been given

there's a solution to this in the handbook you should have been given

Is there? The handbook is in the van, in the installers unit, so I can't look at the moment.

I've had a quick google, and the possible solutions/causes I can see are;
a) try the other key
b) the starter battery is flat (possible as they have had the doors open all day, and maybe had the DRLs on?)

Do you know any more than this?

My t6.1 has been faultless to date. Had it in converters yesterday and successfully put it in service mode.

It may seem an odd question, but is yours DSG or MANUAL?
