Ghost Immobiliser Review

In contrast to other physical anti-theft devices like steering wheel locks and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be covert and inaccessible. They are integrated into buttons of the vehicle and protect against key cloning. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from starting unless you enter a specific PIN code sequence alongside your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and can be changeable by the driver via an app or on the buttons of the vehicle. If you forget your pin an item breaks or you decide to sell your vehicle or sell it, you can use an emergency PIN code that is unique to each device to reset the system.

Additionally auto ghost immobiliser immobilisers aren't detected by diagnostic tools and don't emit any radio frequency signals so thieves can't employ sophisticated RF scanning technologies to detect the presence of a security device. They also make use of the CAN data network, which does not require wire cutting after installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

Although ghost immobilisers are not Thatcham approved however they are TASSA approved and some insurance companies offer reduced rates for insurance on vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser fitted. However, they are regarded as an additional security layer that could deter thieves.
