How does a Ghost Immobiliser work??
The Ghost Immobiliser seamlessly connects to the vehicle's Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, an essential network that oversees mechanical functions like the engine startup routine. This connection allows the Ghost Immobiliser to speak with the Engine Control Unit (ECU), granting precise control over the vehicle's critical systems. By integrating with the CAN bus, the system ensures that only authorised individuals can start the engine. This clever integration enhances the vehicle's security, greatly complicating unauthorised access attempts and preventing engine activation without proper authorisation.
The Ghost Immobiliser goes beyond conventional security measures by blocking electronic signals within the vehicle. This clever system prevents the car's engine from starting until it is deactivated using the unique passcode.
Users can conveniently input the passcode and deactivate the Ghost Immobiliser using the controls within the car. These controls are often integrated into the steering wheel, allowing easy access and seamless operation. By pressing specific buttons on the steering wheel, owners can input the unique passcode, deactivating the immobiliser and granting access to the vehicle's engine system.
The passcode designed to deactivate the Ghost Immobiliser is highly secure. It can include a combination of obscure buttons making it significantly more secure than traditional Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) or physical keys. By using a wider range of inputs, including less commonly used buttons, the passcode becomes highly resistant to unauthorised access attempts.
The Ghost Immobiliser offers an additional layer of security by being installed directly on the car's onboard computer system. This unique installation method makes it highly difficult to detect the immobiliser using monitoring equipment or diagnostic tools commonly used by thieves.
