A ghost immobiliser prevents your vehicle from being started until you enter a unique pin code. The code is entered by via buttons within the vehicle, such as those on the steering wheel, centre console or door panels and only you can identify the pin code. The unit detects the vibrations, contact with your vehicle, damage or even when someone is trying to steal your car.
The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and will only allow the engine to start when the correct pin code is entered. This means that a burglar cannot simply insert a key and replace the ECU because it will not be able to recognize the modifications. It is also designed in a way that it can't be detected by diagnostic tools and cannot be hacked by radio signals.

The thief is not able to use sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing or other technology to detect the unit because it doesn't transmit any signals similar to traditional security systems. Additionally, since it communicates with the ECU on the data bus to immobilise your vehicle, thieves cannot listen for the tell-tale clicking sound of an immobiliser relay.
The Ghost is sealed, which means it can't be removed or damaged. It's small enough to be able to wrap inside the vehicle harness to ensure that it is not easily located by criminals who might try to disable it through cutting wires or removing the harness.
