Ghost Immobiliser Review
Consumers are always seeking ways to stop car theft as it increases. Ghost immobiliser is an innovative new device that does just that.
It's the first-ever aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking or keyless entry. It also prevents thieves from stealing your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like steering wheel locks and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be covert and inaccessible. Incorporated into the vehicle's buttons they offer protection against key hacking, cloning, ECU swapping, and even key theft. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from starting unless you enter a specific PIN code along with your key fob. This PIN code can be up to 20 presses long, and is changed by the driver using an app or the buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin an item breaks or you sell your vehicle, you can use an emergency PIN that is unique to each device to reset the system.
In addition Ghost immobilisers aren't detected by diagnostic tools. They don't emit any radio frequency signals so thieves aren't able to use sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of an immobiliser. They also utilize the CAN data network that does not require wire cutting after installation and is more quiet than other immobilisers.
Ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham approved but they are TASSA-approved. Certain insurers will offer lower insurance rates to vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are recognized as an additional security measure that can deter thieves.
