Ghost Immobiliser Review
As car theft increases and the number of car theft victims increases, people are always looking for ways to stop it. Ghost immobilisers are a perfect solution for what it says on the tin.
It's the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that guards against key hacking or key cloning and also stops thieves from stealing your vehicle.

They are integrated into the buttons of your vehicle, they provide protection against key hacking, cloning, ECU swapping and even key theft. A ghost immobiliser will prevent the engine from starting until you input a PIN code along with your key fob. The PIN code can be as long as up to 20 presses long, and can be altered by the driver via an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you do not remember your pin, a button breaks or you sell your car, there's an emergency PIN code unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.
Ghost immobilisers also have the benefit of not being detected by diagnostic equipment and don't emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves cannot utilize sophisticated scanning technology to detect an immobiliser. They also use CAN data network, which does not require cutting wires during installation and is quieter.
