Ghost Immobiliser Cars
A ghost immobiliser car is an advanced security device that shields your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It is completely undetectable, and does not leave any marks after installation. This makes it a popular option for owners of expensive cars or rare cars.
It uses buttons in your steering wheel, centre console, and door panels to generate a unique pin code sequence (up to 20 characters) that must be entered before the engine can begin.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to give away its location
A ghost immobiliser is a new technology that protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and theft. It is a discreet electronic device that is connected to your vehicle's data network and detects signals from the engine control unit (ECU). This device prevents your engine from running until a unique PIN number is entered, ensuring that thieves cannot drive away with your pride and joy.
The device is connected to the CAN Bus in your vehicle, allowing it access to data between the ECU of the car and other connected components. Installation is a highly-specialized procedure that requires an approved installer. Once installed the device can be hidden inside your vehicle, making it undetectable to thieves. In addition to being able to prevent engine start, it will detect vibrations as well as the 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 warn the driver that something is not right with the engine, causing the driver to panic and abandon the vehicle. This is a fantastic alternative to a standard immobiliser in that the owner of the vehicle will be able to call authorities immediately when the vehicle is in danger.
The device can be deactivated through an app that is accessible both by the owner and the installer (even even though the majority of people will never forget their PIN). Some systems even come with a service/valet mode, which temporarily disables the immobiliser and allow a trusted person to drive your vehicle without having to enter the PIN. The system will reactivate once the vehicle has exceeded 31 mph and was driven for a specific amount of time.
