Ghost Immobiliser Cars
A ghost immobiliser car is an advanced security device that safeguards your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It is undetectable and it leaves no trace after installation. This makes it a very popular choice for owners of expensive vehicles or cars that are rare.
The buttons on your steering wheel, console and door panels are used to generate a unique pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is needed to start the engine.
No key-fobs or LED indications to indicate the location of the vehicle.
A ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is an electronic device which connects to the vehicle's network of data. It intercepts signals from the engine control unit. This device stops your car's engine from starting until you enter a specific PIN code. It makes sure that thieves can't drive off with your joy and pride.
The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN Bus, allowing it access to data from the ECU of the car and the other connected components. Installation is a highly-specialized process and requires a certified installer. After installation the device will be hidden inside your vehicle and will be undetectable to thieves. In addition to being able to block engine start, it can detect vibrations as well as the movement of the components within the vehicle.
If a thief attempts to disable the device, the engine management lights will blink rapidly and the horn will sound. This alerts the driver that there is an issue with the engine. They could be in panic and then abandon their vehicle. This gives you a significant advantage over a normal immobiliser as the car's owner will be aware that the vehicle is in trouble and can call the authorities right away.
The device can be deactivated using an app, which can be accessed by the owner and installer (even though it's unlikely that anyone would forget their PIN code!). Certain systems come with a service/valet feature that temporarily disables the immobiliser and allow the driver who is trusted to drive the vehicle without the need for an authorization code. The system will reactivate once the vehicle has exceeded 31 mph, and driven for a specified period of time.
