What is a ghost immobiliser?

A Ghost Immobiliser can help safeguard your vehicle from theft by stopping it from starting until a unique pin code is entered. It is a solution for many different vehicles. And, unlike an immobiliser for vehicles it doesn't require a fob or key to operate. It is also difficult to hack or bypass and works silently, meaning thieves need to be quick to get away without being caught.

It is protected from signal jamming, spoofing and key cloning - all methods thieves have used to unlock cars equipped with standard immobilisers. The device stops thieves from stealing keys through a search in your mailbox, or entering your home and stealing the remote control. The device is able to stop thieves from taking your pride and joy even if they manage to obtain the key. It prevents the vehicle from operating until they have entered the code.

Unlike passive immobilisers that require an ignition key or fob to be activated, a ghost immobiliser is designed to be completely enclosed within the engine and is connected directly to the vehicle's CAN data circuit. It uses buttons on the steering wheel, centre console or door panels to create an unique pin code that you must enter before the engine starts. The system can be switched into a service mode, which allows your car to start and drive for short periods of time without the need for a PIN code. However, the service mode will end based on time and speed.

Due to the technology employed in the process, it cannot be hacked or bypassed, even when using advanced equipment like RF scanning or code grabbing devices. It is also impossible for a standard immobiliser to disable it because it doesn't transmit a signal as a standard vehicle immobiliser does, and only is functional when connected directly to the CAN circuit.
