What is a Ghost Immobiliser and Tracker?

An immobiliser is a device that prevents your car from starting if you do not have the right key or fob. It also can help reduce your car insurance costs.

The ghost system generates an individual pin code by using the buttons on your car's steering, centre console, or door panels. You can alter it. Imagine it as a PIN for credit card but more secure (up to 20 buttons). It is completely invisible and works through the CAN network.

As it sits on the CAN data network of your vehicle, there is no additional wiring to be added, which means it isn't detected by sophisticated scanners or even disarmed by simple wire cutting. It's also unnoticeable by professional thieves who use these methods because it doesn't emit signals that can be detected using diagnostic tools, and it doesn't emit a tell-tale sound when activated, like other systems on the market.

This device uses the buttons that are on your car (steering wheels, door panels, or centre consoles) to generate a unique and reversible PIN sequence that only you know.

It's a simple procedure that won't void your warranty, as it relies on the CAN data network. It's not necessary to change your steering wheel or status indicators.
