What is a Ghost immobiliser ghost and Tracker?

Immobilisers are security devices that prevent your car from starting without the correct key or fob. It can also help lower your car insurance rates.

The ghost system uses the buttons on your car's steering wheel or centre console, or door panels to generate an unique pin code that you can alter 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 works through the CAN network.
