Car Ghost Immobiliser
Ghost Immobiliser is a sophisticated system that blocks your vehicle from starting without an exclusive pin code sequence that is entered through existing buttons (such as the ones on the dashboard or steering wheel). The device is unnoticeable to thieves and operates silently.
It could help deter hotwiring, and newer methods such as relay thefts. It could also result in a reduction in your insurance cost.
No Radio Frequencies
A car ghost immobiliser functions differently from an ordinary immobiliser because there is no radio frequency transmitted which prevents it from being able to be bypassed by thieves using a cheap and easily available device for cloning. This means that a ghost immobiliser will keep your car from getting activated even if a criminal has successfully cloned your key or stolen it.
A ghost immobiliser could also be used to stop so-called relay attacks. The signal from your keyfob is amplified to trick the system to allow your car to begin. The Ghost will detect this and refuse to start the car until you enter the PIN code. This is a great method to combat tech-savvy car thieves who are armed with affordable and easy-to-use tools to replicate your vehicle.
The Ghost can be set up discreetly, without causing damage to your car. It will only work after the correct pin sequence has been entered. It is only accessible to the owner, therefore no one else can use your vehicle unless they know your pin code. Certain systems allow the owner to create a valet or service mode, which permits them to let temporarily another person use their vehicle without having to reveal their pin code. This will protect them from opportunistic thefts.
Additionally, it is user-friendly and simple to disarm The Ghost can also be connected with a car tracker, making it possible for you to track your car. Some insurers offer discounts on insurance for vehicles equipped with Ghosts. This is great news as it enhances the security of your vehicle.
The Ghost immobiliser, although not Thatcham approved, is an aftermarket product that has been independently evaluated and confirmed to function. Ask the seller of a pre-owned vehicle with the Ghost installed if they can transfer it to your vehicle. This will make your new car more secure than in the event that the previous owner had not transferred it.
No Circuit Cuts
The absence of circuit cuts means that even if the car has been stolen, thieves won't be able to begin it. They will have to know the sequence of buttons utilized to unlock your vehicle and won't be able to do so if they aren't aware of this information. This will discourage them and prevent them from attempting to steal your vehicle.
If you have an GPS tracker on your Ghost can also act as an anti-theft device as it can send a signal to the tracker, which will sound a siren to notify the tracker of any attempted theft. This feature can be turned on at any time through your online dashboard.
When you connect your Ghost to your CAN data network it will identify the vehicle and its owner by the unique pin code created at the time of installation. This enables the device to communicate directly with the ECU of your vehicle and to stop the engine. This means that the engine will only be started when it is authorized by the owner of the vehicle or someone who has a valid PIN code.
Because the pin code was created from existing buttons that are easily accessible to the driver (such as cruise control and stereo mutes) it is mathematically impossible to be deciphered by potential thieves. Your engineer will present you with a Pin Code Override Card that is similar to scratch-off tickets from lottery. It only must be scratched to reveal the code.
Your Ghost is not detectable using these methods, since it doesn't use circuit breakers or radio frequencies. This makes it unaffected by the modern methods used by organized groups of thieves that specialize in codes-grabbing technology and RF scanning. It is also a life-time product, and it can be removed from your vehicle when you sell it, meaning you will not lose any of the security you've invested in.
