This is done without altering the vehicle, and is largely undetectable by thieves. The unit communicates with the ECU on the CAN data bus, which allows it to lock the vehicle. This system is similar to the ones used by car manufacturers for many years. However, thieves cannot bypass it with a new key or key relay technology, like they could with factory-installed systems.

Ghost Ghost can be fitted to any car, van motorhome, caravan, or bicycle that has an engine. It's compatible with all major brands of vehicles. The same system is compatible with electric cars. It is an excellent alternative to wheel clamps and steering wheel locks.

Disarm

Ghost immobilisers, unlike mechanical devices to prevent theft that can be removed, are concealed within the car. They are nearly impossible to bypass or hack and, even if they are discovered, thieves is unable to start the engine. A ghost immobiliser is capable of preventing key cloning as well as devices spoofing signals and signal jamming. These are the methods thieves use to gain access into vehicles equipped that have standard immobilisers.

An immobiliser functions by sending a code to the ECU (electronic control unit). If a wrong code is received, the vehicle cannot be started because the engine won't start up. Although it is possible to disable the ghost immobiliser using a software tool this would be very laborious and time-consuming. The software must be installed and operated by a authorized installer.

The Ghost immobiliser, which is a tiny device, is hidden within the vehicle's wiring loom. It is not visible to the naked eye after it has been installed. It is not visible on diagnostic systems. There are no indicators with LEDs, and it doesn't communicate with the engine via the OBD port. It communicates without sound through the CAN data circuit.

The system will block the vehicle from starting unless it receives a user defined PIN code sequence. This code can be entered using buttons on the steering wheel and door panels as well as the centre console. This is a more secure method to safeguard the car since it doesn't require a remote control or key fob.

Ghost also has a service-mode that is activated through the mobile application. This allows you to give your keys to someone else to use for valet parking or service, without the need to enter the disarm sequence.

If the ignition switch is turned to on, and the vehicle is stationary for a period of 30 seconds and the ghost immobiliser car system will automatically stall the engine and turn on the hazards lights on. This allows the driver or passengers enough time to press a secret security button (depending on the vehicle) before the system is activated and the engine is again allowed to begin.

Unlike many competitor systems that simply stall the engine when the ignition switch is turned on, the Ghost system is based on a specific controller and timer unit which will shut off the fuel cut-off valve 14 when it is activated after a set period of time, even when the ignition is turned on! This delay time period must be long enough to allow the victim of the vehicle to drive away from the scene of the hijacking and a sufficient distance from the stalled vehicle before the system can be activated.

The Ghost has added security that prevents common hacking methods used to gain entry to modern vehicles, such as relay attacks and key range extending. This is due to the fact that the Ghost system communicates silently and doesn't emit any signals that could be detected by a thief using code grabbing or RF scanning technology.

The Ghost system also has the option of a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to be temporarily re-started and driven without the requirement of PIN codes. This is a great option for those who park their car and only need to leave it briefly for a few minutes, like to open the garage door or put groceries in the boot.
