What is a Ghost Immobiliser and Tracker?

An immobiliser is a device that stops your car from starting if you do not have the correct key or fob. It can also help lower the cost of car insurance as well.

The ghost system uses the buttons in your vehicle's steering wheel center console or door panels to generate an unique pin code that you can alter and think of it as being like a credit card PIN but more secure (up to 20 button presses). It is undetectable and works quietly on the CAN data network.

Easy to install

A ghost immobiliser, also known as a PIN code blocker is a device that is installed on the engine of your vehicle which stops it from starting if the PIN code is not entered correctly.

It also blocks your car's engine until either you enter your unique PIN or the app is used to permit the engine to begin.

Since it's part of the CAN data network of your vehicle, there is no additional wiring to be added, which means it isn't identified by sophisticated scanners or even disarmed by simple wire cutting. It is also undetectable to professional thieves employing these methods, as it does not transmit signals that could easily be detected by diagnostic tools.

It uses your original buttons in your car (steering wheel doors, door panels, or the centre console) to generate a unique, changeable PIN code sequence that is only accessible to you. The code is entered using your smartphone or an unidentified button on the Ghost device. It is also impossible for any other driver to use this sequence to start the car unless they are your. This is why it's an effective deterrent to criminals, since they can make a getaway without your being aware of their presence in your vehicle.
