The 3 Greatest Moments In Ghost Immobiliser Car History

Ghost Immobiliser Cars Ghost immobilisers are an advanced security device that safeguards your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It is completely undetectable, and it does not leave any marks after installation. This makes it a preferred choice for owners of expensive vehicles or rare cars. The buttons on your steering wheel or console as well as the door panels are used to create a 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. Ghost immobilisers protect your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It's a discrete electronic device that connects to the data network of your vehicle and intercepts signals from your engine control unit (ECU). The system stops the engine from running until a unique PIN code is entered, making sure that thieves can't steal with your pride and joy. The device is connected to the CAN Bus of your vehicle, allowing it access to data from the ECU of the car and other connected components. Installation is a highly-specialized procedure and requires a certified installer. After installation the device can be hidden within your vehicle and will be undetectable to thieves. In addition to being able to prevent engine start, it will also detect vibrations and movement of 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 will alert the driver that there is an issue with the engine. They may panic and abandon their vehicle. This gives you a significant advantage over a standard immobiliser since the owner will be aware that the vehicle is in trouble and can contact the authorities immediately. The device can be disarmed via an app that can be accessed both by the owner as well as the installer (even even though the majority of people will not forget their PIN). Some models come with a service/valet feature that will temporarily disable the immobiliser, allowing an authorized driver to drive the vehicle without the need for PIN. The system will then be activated when the vehicle reaches 31 mph after driving for a specific duration of time. There is no Bluetooth or wireless connectivity This means that it is not recognized by modern thieves using diagnostics to find the circuit's cut or hidden immobiliser. It's inaccessible because it does not make use of radio signals. This makes it a powerful preventative against vehicle theft. The GHOST also has options for your specific vehicle features like gearbox locks (to prevent the engine from starting when it is in the gearbox) and anti-hijack, which we can set up for you after installation.

You can change the sequence as many times as you wish but it's only visible to the app owner. You can disable the GHOST on your satnav by entering a different sequence. This makes it more secure and less attractive to thieves. In fact this method is so efficient that the Bentley Bentayga worth PS200k was recently stolen at the lights in a parking lot while it was stationary and the driver entered in their PIN to disable the device.
