Car Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is an advanced system that blocks your vehicle from starting without a unique pin code sequence, entered via buttons already in use (such as those on the dashboard or on the steering wheel). The device is unnoticeable to thieves and operates quietly.
It can also help to deter newer methods like relay thefts and hotwiring. It can also lower your insurance premium.
No Radio Frequencies
A car ghost immobiliser works differently from a traditional immobiliser in that there is no radio frequency sent which prevents it from being able to be bypassed by thieves using a simple and easily available cloning device. Ghost immobilisers prevent your car from starting even when the burglar has copied or taken your key.
Ghost immobilisers are also effective against so-called relay attacks. The signal from your keyfob is amplified to trick the system into allowing your car to begin. The Ghost can recognise this and won't start your vehicle, requiring you to enter your PIN code. This is a fantastic way to combat tech-savvy car thieves who have simple-to-use and inexpensive equipment to clone your vehicle.
The Ghost can also be fitted discretely (without doing any damage to your vehicle) and will only function after the proper pin sequence has been entered. It is only accessible to the owner, therefore nobody else will be able to use your vehicle unless they know your pin code. Certain systems let owners set up a service or valet mode so that they can temporarily allow another person to drive the vehicle without having to disclose their pin code, guarding them against thieves who might steal.
As well as being very user-friendly and easy to dearm The Ghost can be linked up with an auto tracker to make it possible to track your car. Certain insurance companies will offer discounts on your vehicle insurance if you have a Ghost installed, which is great news for the safety of your vehicle and its contents.
Although the Ghost immobiliser isn't Thatcham certified, it is an aftermarket product that has been independently tested and proven to work. If you're thinking about buying a used car with the Ghost immobiliser, inquire with the seller if they are willing to transfer it to the vehicle you are buying. This will make sure that the new vehicle is more secure than it was if the previous owner had not transferred it.
No Circuit Cuts
Even if your car is stolen, thieves will not be able to start it. The thieves will need to know which buttons are used to unlock the vehicle and they will not be able to do this without knowing the sequences. This will discourage them them from attempting to steal.
If you have a GPS tracker on your Ghost can also function as an anti-theft gadget since it can send an alert to the tracker, which will activate a siren and warn the tracker of an attempted theft. This feature can be turned on at any time via your online dashboard.
When you connect your Ghost to the CAN data network, it will identify the vehicle and its owner by using the unique pin code that was programmed during installation. This allows the device to directly communicate with the ECU of your vehicle and to stop the engine. This means that only the vehicle owner, or someone with the PIN code, is able to start the engine.
The pin code is hard to decipher for criminals since it is constructed using buttons that are easily accessible by the driver, like cruise control and stereo mute. Your engineer will also supply you with an emergency Pin Code override card which is similar to a scratch-off lottery ticket and just needs to be scratched off to reveal the code and the instructions.
Unlike traditional immobilisers which are usually identified by thieves using diagnostics to read the immobiliser relay and the relay, your Ghost is undetectable by these methods as it doesn't utilize circuit cuts or radio frequencies. This makes it unaffected by modern techniques employed by organised groups of thieves that specialize in RF scanning and code-grabbing technology. It is also a lifetime product, and can easily be removed from your car when you sell it, which means that you won't lose any of the security you've invested in.
