Ghost Immobiliser
A ghost immobiliser works as a covert security system that prevents vehicles from being stolen. These systems protect your car against key cloning, hacking, and relay theft by preventing the vehicle from starting.

Based on CAN
A vehicle immobiliser is an instrument that is fitted into the vehicle, van or motorbike, lawnmower or machinery used to stop them from being stolen. This type of security system operates by stopping the engine from starting without a pin code being entered.

They can also help lower your insurance premiums, since the majority of insurance companies will offer discounts to vehicles with these devices.
Ghost is an immobiliser based on CAN. This means that Ghost is directly connected to your vehicle's CAN network. This is one of the most advanced car immobilisers on the market, and it makes it virtually impossible for thieves to steal or disable.

These buttons can be found on the steering wheel or on the centre console. They can be also found on the door panels. Each button is programmed with a unique pin code which needs to be entered before the engine is able to start. This code can have between four and 20 characters. Ghost is a fully approved immobiliser that has received the TASSA accreditation.
Ghost is undetectable, in contrast to other immobilisers that can be defeated by using aftermarket keyfobs or by cutting wires. It doesn't have LED indicators or key fobs.
