Ghost Immobiliser Review
As car theft increases consumers are constantly searching for a way to prevent it. The ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that does just that.
It's the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser, which protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking or keyless entry. It also keeps thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like steering wheel locks and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be covert and undetectable. They are integrated into the car buttons and offer protection against key cloning. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from running until you enter a specific PIN code sequence alongside your key fob. The PIN code can be as long as 20 presses long and is changed by the driver using an app or on the buttons of the vehicle. If you forget your pin, or a button breaks or you sell your vehicle you can utilize an emergency PIN code that's unique to each device to reset the system.
Ghost immobilisers have the added benefit of being unnoticeable by diagnostic equipment and don't emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves cannot use sophisticated scanning technology to detect a security device. They also utilize the CAN data network, which does not require wire cutting after installation and is more quiet than other immobilisers.
Although ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham approved but they are TASSA approved and some insurers offer reduced insurance rates for vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser fitted. However, they are accepted as an additional security layer that could deter thieves.
