Ghost immobilisers, unlike other physical security measures such as wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, are designed to be invisible and hidden. They are integrated into the buttons of the vehicle and protect against key copying. Ghost immobilisers will stop the engine from beginning until you enter a PIN code along with your key fob. This code can be as long as 20 presses long, and is changed by the driver using an app or on the buttons on the vehicle.

They also use the CAN data network, which does not require wire cutting after installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

Instead, the device uses your existing buttons on the steering wheel and door panels to create a changeable sequence that must be entered before the car will start. This can be as long as 20 steps and functions similarly to the PIN code of credit card.

The device is completely hidden, meaning that thieves are unable to locate it. Additionally, it does not utilize radio signals and works on the CAN data network, making it totally undetectable to thieves using RF scanners.

Many thieves attempt to remove the CAN chip or replace it with the ECU to keep it from being detected. But, this method is only attainable by experts with the appropriate tools. The ghost immobiliser can protect your vehicle from a variety of types of vehicle thefts.
