Ghost Immobiliser Review

As the number of car thefts increases and the number of car theft victims increases, people are always looking for ways to stop it. Ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that can do just that.

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

No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals

Contrary to other devices for physical protection against theft like wheel locks for steering wheels and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers are designed to be hidden and undetectable. Incorporated into the vehicle's buttons they offer protection against key hacking, cloning, ECU swapping and even key theft. Ghost immobilisers prevent the engine from starting unless you enter a pre-determined PIN code along with your key fob. This code can be up to 20 presses long, and is changed by the driver using an app or the buttons of the vehicle. If you forget your pin or a button breaks, or if you sell your car you can utilize an emergency PIN code that's unique to each device to reset the system.

Ghost immobilisers also have the benefit of being unnoticeable by diagnostic equipment and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves cannot utilize sophisticated scanning technology to detect an immobiliser. They also utilize the CAN data network, which does not require cutting wires upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

Although ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham approved however they are TASSA approved and some insurers offer lower rates on insurance for vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are regarded as an additional layer of security that can deter thieves.
