Ghost Immobiliser Review

Consumers are always trying to find ways to prevent car theft as it increases. The ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that is able to do exactly that.

Ghost immobilisers, in contrast to other physical measures to prevent theft, such as steering wheel locks or wheel clamps are designed to be undetectable and covert. They are integrated into the buttons of your vehicle, they provide protection against key hacking, cloning and ECU swapping and even key theft. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from starting unless you enter a chosen PIN code in conjunction with your key fob. This PIN code is up to 20 presses long, and can be modified by the driver through an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin or an item breaks, or if you sell your vehicle you can utilize an emergency PIN code that's unique to each device to reset the system.

Ghost immobilisers also have the benefit of not being detected by diagnostic equipment and don't emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves cannot employ sophisticated scanning technology to identify an immobiliser. They also make use of CAN data network, which doesn't require wire cutting for installation and is more quiet.
