Ghost Immobiliser Cars
A ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security gadget that protects your vehicle from key cloning or hacking. It is undetectable, and leaves no trace after installation. This makes it a very popular choice for owners of expensive vehicles or rare cars.
It makes use of buttons on your steering wheel, centre console, and door panels to create a unique pin code sequence (up to 20 characters) that must be entered before the engine can start.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs, or other indicators to help you locate it.
Ghost immobilisers are a brand new technology that protects your car from key cloning, hacking and theft. It's a hidden electronic device that connects to the data network of your vehicle and intercepts signals from your engine control unit (ECU). The system stops the car's engine from starting until a unique PIN code is entered, which ensures that thieves are unable to escape with your pride and joy.
The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN Bus which allows it to to intercept data from the ECU of the car and other connected components. The installation process is highly skilled procedure that requires skilled installation, and should only be carried out by a licensed installer. Once it is installed, the device will be hidden inside your vehicle, making it undetectable to thieves. In addition to being able to prevent engine start, it can also detect vibrations and the movement of the components within the vehicle.
If a burglar attempts to disable the device in this way, it can cause the vehicle's engine management lights to flash quickly and the horn to honk. This will alert the driver that there is an issue with the engine. They might be in a panic and leave their vehicle. This is a fantastic alternative to an immobiliser since the owner of the vehicle will be able to contact the authorities right away when the vehicle is in danger.
The device can be disabled through an app that can be accessed both by the owner and the installer (even even though the majority of people will never forget their PIN). Certain systems also have a service/valet mode, which will temporarily disarm the immobiliser, allowing a trusted person to drive your vehicle without needing the PIN. The system will reactivate after the vehicle has reached 31 mph and has been was driven for a specific period of time.
No Bluetooth or wireless connectivities
It is therefore undetectable by modern thieves who use diagnostics to detect the hidden immobiliser or circuit cut. This makes it a potent protection against vehicle theft.

It does not display any sign of its existence when installed in your car, hence its name.
Unlike some immobilisers that only have a pin code to disable the device, the Ghost can be disabled by entering an unintentional sequence of key presses from the driver's mobile application. This can be done from any location in the world and is simple and hassle-free. You can alter the sequence as often as you wish but it's only visible to the app's owner.
You can disable the GHOST on your satnav by entering a different sequence. This makes it more secure and deterrent to thieves. This method is so effective, that a Bentley Bentayga valued at PS200k was stolen just recently as it was in a parking lot and the driver entered their PIN to disable device.
