What is a ghost immobiliser?

A Ghost Immobiliser is a device that protects your vehicle from theft by preventing the engine from starting until you enter a specific pin code. It can be utilized on a wide variety of vehicles and unlike other immobilisers, it does not require a key or fob to operate. It is also extremely difficult to bypass or hack, and works in silence. This means that a thief must be quick to flee without being caught.

It protects against signal jamming, spoofing and key cloning - all methods that thieves have used to unlock vehicles equipped with standard immobilisers. It also stops thieves from stealing keys by sifting through your letterbox or breaking into your home to take the remote control. It will also stop them from stealing your joy and pride when they manage to gain access to the key because it stops the vehicle from starting until they have entered the code first.

As opposed to passive immobilisers that require the fob or key to be press, a ghost-immobiliser is designed to be sealed inside the engine and connects directly to the vehicle's CAN data circuit. The system generates the pin code by pressing buttons on the steering wheel or the console of your car. You will have to enter this code before the engine can start. The system can be put into the service mode, which allows your car to start and drive for short periods without requiring an PIN code. However the service mode will be shut down based on time and speed.

Because of the technology employed in the process, it cannot be hacked or bypassed even using advanced equipment like codes grabbing or RF scanning devices. It is impossible to disable with an ordinary vehicle immobiliser since it doesn't transmit a signal like a standard immobiliser and only works by connecting directly to the data circuit in CAN.
