Ghost Immobiliser Review

Consumers are always looking for ways to prevent car theft as it increases. Ghost immobilisers are a revolutionary new device that is able to do exactly that.

It's the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser that protects against key cloning or hacking and stops thieves from taking your vehicle.

No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals

Ghost immobilisers, in contrast to other physical security measures such as wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, are designed to be invisible and hidden. They are integrated into the buttons of the vehicle and protect against key cloning. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from starting until you enter a PIN number together with your key fob. This PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and is changeable by the driver via an app or the vehicle's buttons. If you forget your pin, or a button breaks or you sell your car there's an emergency pin code that is unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.

Ghost immobilisers come with the benefit of being undetectable by devices for diagnostics and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves can't use sophisticated scanning techniques to detect a security device. They also utilize the CAN data network, which does not require wire cutting after installation and is more quiet than other immobilisers.

Although ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham approved, they are TASSA approved and some insurers offer lower rates on insurance for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. They are however recognised as an additional layer of security and have the potential to deter thieves from targeting your pride and joy.
