Ghost Immobiliser Review
As the number of car thefts increases consumers are constantly searching for a way to prevent it. The ghost immobiliser is a revolutionary new device that is able to do exactly that.
It's the first aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser on the market that protects against key cloning or hacking and also stops thieves from driving off with your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals
Ghost immobilisers, unlike other physical security measures such as wheel locks or steering wheel clamps are designed to be undetectable and concealed. Incorporated into the vehicle's buttons they protect against key hacking, cloning, ECU swapping and even key theft. A ghost immobiliser will prevent the engine from starting until you input a PIN code along with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and can be alterable by the driver through an app or on the vehicle's buttons. If you do not remember your pin, a button breaks or you sell your vehicle, there's an emergency PIN code unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.
As an added bonus Ghost immobilisers are not detected by diagnostic tools. They don't emit any radio frequency signals, so thieves aren't able to employ sophisticated RF scanning technologies to detect the presence of a security device. They also use the CAN data network, which does not require cutting wires upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.
Ghost immobilisers might not be Thatcham certified, but they are TASSA-approved. Certain insurers offer lower insurance rates to vehicles equipped with an aftermarket immobiliser. They are however recognised as an extra layer of security and have the potential to deter thieves from targeting your pride and joy.
