Ghost Immobiliser Cars
A ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security device that protects you from key cloning or hacking. It is unnoticeable and leaves no marks behind after installation, which makes it a popular choice for the owners of rare or expensive cars.
The buttons on your steering wheel, console and door panels are used to generate an unique pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is required to start the engine.
There are no keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to help you find it.
A ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It is a discrete electronic device which connects to the vehicle's network of data. It intercepts signals sent by the engine control unit. This system prevents the car's engine from starting until a specific PIN code is entered, which ensures that thieves cannot drive away with your joy and pride.
The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN Bus which allows it to intercept data from the ECU of the car and the other connected components. The installation process is highly specialised process that requires expert installation and should only be completed by a licensed installer. Once installed, it will be hidden within your vehicle and therefore unrecognisable to thieves. In addition to preventing engine start, it can detect vibrations as well as the movement of the components within the vehicle.
If a burglar attempts to disable the device, the engine management lights will blink rapidly and the horn will sound. This alerts the driver that something is wrong with the engine, which can cause them to panic and leave the vehicle. This will give you a significant advantage over an ordinary immobiliser as the car's owner will know that the vehicle is in trouble and can call the authorities right away.

The device can be disabled by an application that can be accessed both by the owner as well as the installer (even though most people are unlikely to forget their PIN code). Certain systems include a service/valet option that temporarily disables the immobiliser which allows the driver who is trusted to drive the vehicle without the need for PIN. The system will reactivate once the vehicle has exceeded 31 mph and driven for a specified amount of time.
No Bluetooth or wireless connectivities
It is therefore unnoticeable by modern thieves that use diagnostics to find an immobiliser that is hidden or a circuit cut. This makes it a potent protection against vehicle theft.
