Ghost Immobiliser Cars
A ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security device that protects you from key cloning or hacking. It is undetectable and leaves no marks behind after installation, making it an ideal choice for owners of expensive or rare vehicles.
The buttons on your steering wheel or console as well as the door panels are used to generate an individual pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is needed to start the engine.
There aren't any keyfobs or LEDs or other indicators to assist you in finding it.
A ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It's a hidden electronic device that connects to your vehicle's data network and intercepts signals from your engine control unit (ECU). This system prevents your car's engine from starting until you enter a unique PIN code. It makes sure that thieves aren't able to drive away with your pride and joy.
The device is linked into the CAN bus in your vehicle and is able to intercept data between the ECU and the other components connected to the car. The installation process is highly complex process that requires expert installation and should be completed by a licensed installer.

The device can be deactivated via an app, which can be accessed by both the owner and installer (even although it's unlikely anyone will forget their PIN number!). Some systems come with a service/valet feature that temporarily disables the immobiliser and allow an authorized driver to drive the vehicle without needing PIN. The system will reactivate when the vehicle surpasses 31 mph after driving for a specified amount of time.
