Ghost Immobiliser Cars
A ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security device that protects you from key cloning and hacking. It is undetectable and does not leave any marks after installation. This makes it a popular option for owners of expensive cars or cars that are rare.
The buttons on your steering wheel or console as well as the door panels are used to generate an unique pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is required to begin the engine.
No key-fobs or LED indications to give away its location
A ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It is a discrete electronic device which connects to the vehicle's network of data. It snoops on signals sent by the engine control unit. This system prevents your car's engine from starting until you enter a specific PIN code. It ensures that thieves can't drive off with your pride and joy.
The device is connected to the CAN Bus of your vehicle which allows it to access to data between the ECU of the vehicle and the other components connected. Installation is a complex procedure that requires an approved installer. Once installed, it will be hidden within your vehicle and thus unnoticeable to thieves. It can detect vibrations, as well as the movement of vehicle components and components.
If a criminal attempts to disable the device, it will cause the car's engine management lights to flash rapidly and the horn will sound. This alerts the driver to the fact that there is an issue with the engine. They might panic and abandon their vehicle. This is a fantastic alternative to a standard immobiliser in that the owner of the vehicle will be able to contact the authorities right away if the vehicle is in danger.
The device can be disabled via an app, which can be accessed by both the owner and installer (even although it's unlikely anyone would forget their PIN number!). Some systems even have the option of a service/valet mode that temporarily disables the immobiliser, allowing an authorized person to drive your car without needing the PIN. The system will be activated after the vehicle has reached 31 mph, and was driven for a specific period of time.
There isn't Bluetooth or wireless connectivity
It is therefore undetectable to modern thieves who use diagnostics to identify an immobiliser that is hidden or a circuit cut. This makes it an effective protection against vehicle theft. The GHOST also offers options for your vehicle specific features, such as a gearbox locks (to stop the engine from starting while in the gearbox) and anti-hijack, which we can enable for you upon installation.

In contrast to other immobilisers that have a pin code to arm the device, the Ghost can be disabled by entering in a secret sequence of button presses using the driver's mobile application. It's simple to do and is possible to do it anywhere in the world. You can change it as many times as desired - only the app owner will be able to see the changes.
You can also disable the GHOST in your satnav by entering in a different sequence. This makes it more secure and less attractive to thieves. In fact, this method is so efficient that a Bentley Bentayga worth PS200k was recently stolen at a set of lights while it sat stationary and the driver entered their PIN to deactivate the device.
No annual fees
