Ghost Immobiliser Review As car theft rises and the number of car theft victims increases, people are always looking for a way to prevent it. The ghost immobiliser does exactly that. It's the first-ever aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that shields your vehicle from key cloning, hacking or keyless entry, and prevents thieves from stealing your vehicle. No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals In contrast to other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be hidden and unnoticeable. They are built into vehicle buttons and provide protection against key cloning. A ghost immobiliser will prevent the engine from running until you enter a PIN code along with your key fob. This PIN code is up to 20 presses long, and can be modified by the driver through an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin or an item breaks or you sell your car, you can use an emergency PIN code that's unique to each device to reset the system. As an added bonus Ghost immobilisers are not detected by diagnostic tools and 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 utilize the CAN data network which does not require wire cutting after installation and is more quiet than other immobilisers.

Immobilisers can be installed on any vehicle as long as it is powered by a power source. The Ghost Immobiliser uses the buttons on your car's original key fob to create an encrypted sequence to disarm (like a PIN code) that needs to be entered before the engine can begin. The driver is able to modify the sequence at anytime. It can be comprised of up to 20 actions. This is a far more secure security method than using the key fob alone, as it means no one else can drive your vehicle.
