Car Stolen With Ghost Immobiliser: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
Ghost Immobiliser
A ghost immobiliser is a hidden security system that protects vehicles from being stolen. These systems safeguard your vehicle against key cloning, hacking, and relay theft by preventing the vehicle from starting.
They work in a silent manner and do not have LED indicators and do not require additional fobs and therefore cannot be hacked through the OBD port. Our TASSA verified Ghost II Immobiliser works with most vehicles and is installed in a subtle manner, without wire cutting.
Based on CAN
An immobiliser for vehicles can be fitted in a car, van or motorbike. It can be used to deter thefts of plant machinery, lawnmowers or even cars. This type of security system stops the engine from being started without an authorization code. These devices are highly efficient and are difficult to defeat, making them an excellent method to ensure your car's security. They can also help lower your insurance premiums since the majority of insurance companies are willing to provide discounts to vehicles with these devices.
Ghost is a CAN-based immobiliser. 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 makes it virtually impossible for thieves to escape or disable. ghost immobilizer is quiet and doesn't emit signals or LEDs and can only activated by pressing buttons on your vehicle. The buttons can be found on the steering wheel or centre console. They could also be found on door panels. Each button is programmed to generate a unique pin code, which must be entered before the engine can start. The code can comprise between four and 20 characters. Ghost is a fully endorsed immobiliser with the TASSA certification.
Contrary to other immobilisers, that are overcome by cutting wires or utilizing aftermarket key fobs ghost is completely inaccessible. It does not use any LEDs or key fobs, and only the installers are aware that it exists in the first place. It also doesn't contain any key-cut detection sensors that could be tampered with and it doesn't interfere with the engine's control unit. This means that it is an unbreakable solution to protect your vehicle against modern thieves and hi-tech tactics.
