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 can be used on various vehicles. Unlike the standard vehicle immobiliser it doesn't require keys or fobs to operate. It is also very difficult to hack or bypass and works silently, meaning that thieves would have to be quick to escape without being caught.

It protects against key locking, signal jamming, and spoofing, which are all methods that thieves have used to unlock vehicles using standard immobiliser systems. The device deters thieves from stealing keys by fishing in your mailbox or entering your home and taking the remote control. It will also stop them from driving away your pride and joy when they manage to steal the key, since it blocks them from starting your vehicle unless they enter a code first.

Unlike passive immobilisers that require a fob or key to be activated, a ghost immobiliser is designed to be sealed 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 generate an individual pin code that you must enter before the engine can start. The system can be switched into an operating mode that allows your car to drive and start for short periods without requiring a PIN code. However, the service mode will be terminated according to speed and time.

It is not possible to hack or bypass the system, even with high-tech equipment such as codes grabbing devices. It is impossible to disable with an ordinary vehicle immobiliser since it doesn't send a signal like a standard immobiliser and only works by connecting directly to the data circuit of the CAN.
