What is a Ghost Immobiliser and Tracker?

An immobiliser is a device that stops your car from starting without the right key or fob. It also helps reduce the cost of car insurance.

The ghost system utilizes the buttons in your vehicle's steering wheel center console or door panels to create an unique pin code sequence that you can change by thinking of it as being like a credit card PIN but much more secure (up to 20 button presses). It is invisible and silently operates on the CAN network.

Easy to install

The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that is more secure than anything else available today. It prevents your vehicle from key-cloning hacking (relay attack) and even theft of the actual keys from inside your home by blocking the engine of your car until you enter your unique PIN, or your app is used to allow the engine to begin.

It's not detected by sophisticated scanners, and it cannot be destroyed with a simple wire cutting. It's also unnoticeable to professional thieves using these methods, since it doesn't transmit signals that can easily be detected by diagnostic tools.

It's entered with your smartphone or an unidentified button on the Ghost device, and it is impossible for anyone else to use this sequence to start your vehicle unless they are your. This is why it is a great way to stop criminals from escaping, since they can't escape without being aware of them and alerting you to their presence.

If you ever change vehicles in the course of your ownership, you can transfer the Ghost from one vehicle to another so long as it's equipped with an CAN bus that is compatible.
