Car Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated system that prevents your car from starting if it does not have an exclusive pin code sequence that is entered via buttons already in use (such as buttons on the dashboard or on the steering wheel). The device is unnoticeable to thieves and operates quietly.
It can be helpful in preventing hotwiring, as well as newer methods such as relay thefts. It could also lower your insurance premium.
No Radio Frequencies
A car ghost immobiliser operates differently than a traditional immobiliser in that there is no radio frequency that is transmitted, preventing it from being bypassed by thieves using a simple and easily available key cloning device. Ghost immobilisers prevent your car from starting even in the event that a thief has copied or stolen your key.
A ghost immobiliser can also be used to stop relay attacks. The signal from your key fob is amplified in order to fool the system into allowing your car to begin. The Ghost will detect this and refuse to start the vehicle until you enter the PIN code. This is a fantastic way to combat tech-savvy car thieves who have easy-to-use and affordable tools to replicate your vehicle.
The Ghost can be installed in a discreet manner, without causing damage to your vehicle. It will only function once the correct pin sequence has been entered. This will only be known by the owner who has set it up, meaning that no one will be able to use your car without knowing your pin code. Some systems allow the owner to set up a valet mode or service mode, which permits the owner to let others use their vehicle without having to reveal their pin code. This helps protect the vehicle from thefts that could be triggered by opportunistic means.
Additionally, it is user friendly and quick to dearm, the Ghost can also be connected with a car tracker to make it possible for you to locate your vehicle. Some insurers will offer discounts on your car insurance if it's got a Ghost installed, which is great news for the safety of your vehicle and its contents.
The Ghost immobiliser, although not Thatcham approved, is an aftermarket product that has been independently evaluated and confirmed to function. If you are thinking of buying a pre-owned car with the Ghost immobiliser, inquire with the seller if they are willing to transfer it to your new vehicle. This will make your new vehicle more secure than it would be in the event that the previous owner had not transferred it.
No Circuit Cuts
The absence of circuit cuts means that even when the vehicle is stolen, thieves will not be able to begin it. The thieves must know the exact buttons to unlock the vehicle and they won't be able to do this without knowing these sequences. This will deter them them from attempting the theft.
If you have a GPS tracking device and you are using the Ghost can function as an anti-theft device. It can send a signal to trigger a siren to alert the tracker of a theft attempt. This feature can be activated at any time via your online dashboard.
When you connect your Ghost to the CAN data network it will identify your vehicle and the owner by using the unique pin code that was programmed during installation. This allows the device to communicate with your car's ECU and disable the engine. This means that the engine will only be turned on if it is authorized by the vehicle owner or someone with an active PIN code.
The pin code is hard to decipher for criminals since it is created with buttons that are easily accessible by the driver, like stereo mute and cruise control. Your engineer will provide you with an Pin Code Override Card that is similar to scratch-off tickets from lottery. It just needs to be scratched to reveal the code.
Your Ghost isn't detectable by these methods, as it does not use circuit breakers or radio frequencies. Therefore, it is not affected by the latest techniques employed by organized gangs that are experts in the use of RF scanning technology as well as code-grabbing. It is also a life-time product, and can easily be removed from your car after you sell it, meaning you won't lose any of the protection that you have put into.
No Key Fobs

It is also tamper-proof and does not have any external wiring, making it hard to take off.
It safeguards your precious possessions from hacking, key-longs, and key theft by stopping the engine from starting until you input a specific PIN code. This is done by using buttons already in the vehicle such as those found on the steering wheel, door panels and centre console to design a customised disarm sequence of up to 20 presses long (like entering a PIN into your smartphone).
It only works when you enter the correct pin code. This makes it difficult for opportunistic thieves to steal your car. It is designed to be simple to use. Alternatively, if you're worried about not remembering the pin code, the installer will provide you with an emergency override driver fob that allows you to use your car in the same way as you normally would.
