Porsche - Ghost Immobiliser 2023

[Thewy003911]

Scenario:

I have a 911 992.2 with a Ghost fitted to it. Prior to collection of my car Porsche should have paired the tracker fobs so that i could activate the security system. However they forgot to do this.

After the Ghost was fitted, i subsequently booked the car into my local Porsche Centre to have the fobs paired. Arriving at Porsche, i put the Ghost into service mode, essentially disabling it for the time it was going to be with them.

I received a call from Porsche that day saying they needed to keep it overnight as they were struggling to pair the fobs. Then the next day saying that the car kept wanting to go into sleep mode every time they tried to pair them (i'm paraphrasing here as i have little to no detail about exactly what the car is doing).

4 weeks later - car still with Porsche and they have tried 2 x new "Control Units" but still the problem persists. They have another control unit arriving this week and assure me they will get it fixed.

QUESTION: Could it be the Ghost that is causing the problem? My understanding is that a Ghost is nothing to do with control units and therefore would not cause the car to go into sleep mode for any reason, especially as it is in 'service mode' currently.
