Ghost Immobiliser Review
As the number of car thefts increases consumers are constantly searching for a way to prevent it. Ghost immobilisers are a perfect solution for that.
It's the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that is protected against key cloning or hacking and also stops thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals
Ghost immobilisers, in contrast to other physical measures to prevent theft, such as steering wheel locks or wheel clamps are designed to be invisible and concealed. They are integrated into the buttons of your vehicle they offer protection against key cloning, car hacking, ECU swapping and even key theft. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from starting unless you enter a pre-determined PIN code along with your key fob. The PIN code can be as long as up to 20 presses long and is altered by the driver via an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you do not remember your pin, a button fails or you sell your car there's an emergency pin code unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.
As an added bonus Ghost immobilisers are not detected by diagnostic tools and don't emit radio frequency signals, which means that thieves aren't able to utilize sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of a security device. They also use CAN data network, which does not require cutting wires to install and is quieter.
Although ghost immobilisers may not be Thatcham approved however they are TASSA approved and some insurers offer reduced insurance rates for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are recognized as an additional security measure that could deter thieves.

The driver is able to modify the sequence at any time. It can include up to 20 actions.
