What is a Ghost Immobiliser?

The Ghost Immobiliser features an impressive interface with the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU) through the vehicles CAN data circuit. This cutting-edge connectivity makes it incredibly challenging for thieves to bypass the system using methods such as a new key or ECU replacement. One of the standout features of the Ghost Immobiliser is its discreet design, intentionally devoid of key fobs or LED indicators that could potentially expose its presence. This covert approach ensures that the immobiliser remains hidden from prying eyes, maximising its effectiveness in preventing theft and providing vehicle owners with an added layer of security.

Starting a vehicle that has a Ghost Immobiliser installed uses a unique method. Instead of relying on additional key fobs or visible indicators, the system uses the existing buttons within the vehicle, such as those on the steering wheel, door panels, or centre console, creating a unique PIN code sequence with these buttons. The Ghost Immobiliser remains discreet and undetectable to likely thieves. This approach improves the vehicle's security while ensuring the immobiliser seamlessly blends into the car, providing extra protection without compromising its aesthetic appeal. By incorporating these clever features, the Ghost offers vehicle owners enhanced security and peace of mind. It acts as a formidable deterrent, protecting their cars from unauthorised access and significantly reducing the risk of theft.

The Ghost Immobiliser goes above and beyond to provide vehicle owners with outstanding security and peace of mind. With its innovative features, this advanced system acts as a powerful deterrent, effectively protecting cars from unauthorised access and dramatically minimising the risk of theft. By implementing the Ghost Immobiliser, owners can confidently protect their vehicles, knowing that they have taken proactive measures to ensure the safety of their valuable assets.

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.

Features and Benefits of a Ghost Immobiliser

  • The Ghost Immobiliser is incredibly versatile, working seamlessly with vehicles such as cars, motorhomes, vans, motorcycles, plant machinery, and electric vehicles.
  • The Ghost Immobiliser offers users two distinct deactivation modes, including the Service/Valet Mode. This mode will allow you to entrust your vehicle to a valet or mechanic without disclosing your disarm sequence. Using the Service/Valet Mode, you can ensure your vehicle remains protected by the Ghost Immobiliser even when in others' hands. It provides a secure and convenient solution for situations requiring you to hand over your vehicle without disclosing your disarm sequence.
  • The Ghost Immobiliser is a robust security system validated by TASSA, a third-party organisation comprising industry experts from police and security testing backgrounds. This verification means that the Ghost Immobiliser has undergone rigorous testing and has been approved by these experts, providing an extra layer of credibility to its security features. TASSA, the Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association is a legally identified body responsible for certifying security and tracking devices installed after vehicle purchase. The Ghost Immobiliser's TASSA verification is a testament to its high-quality security features and effectiveness in protecting vehicles from theft.
  • The Ghost Immobiliser provides peace of mind to vehicle owners by protecting against key cloning, hacking, and theft. These security risks have become more common in recent years as criminals use various techniques to gain unauthorised vehicle access.
  • The Ghost Immobiliser's discreet design and lack of visible indicators contribute to its efficacy in deterring theft and protecting vehicles from key cloning, hacking, and theft. Its reliance on existing buttons and seamless integration with the vehicle's systems make it a reliable and discreet security solution for vehicle owners seeking enhanced protection.
  • The impact of installing a Ghost Immobiliser on insurance costs can vary immensely depending on the insurance agency, their policies, and individual circumstances. While there are indications that having a Ghost Immobiliser installed may potentially lower insurance premiums in many cases, the actual impact can vary. It's advisable to contact your insurer directly to determine how installing a Ghost Immobiliser may affect your insurance.
