Ghost Immobiliser Review
Consumers are always looking for ways to prevent car theft, which is on the rise. The ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that does just that.
It's the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world that is protected against key cloning or hacking and also stops thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals
Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks for steering wheels and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers are designed to be covert and inaccessible. They are built into car buttons and offer protection against key cloning. Ghost immobilisers prevent the engine from starting until you enter a pre-determined PIN code in conjunction with your key fob. This PIN code is up to 20 presses long and can be changed by the driver using an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin, or the button is damaged or you sell your car or sell it, you can use an emergency PIN code that is unique to each device to reset the system.
ghost immobiliser 2 immobilisers also have the benefit of being unnoticeable by devices for diagnostics and do not emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves cannot use sophisticated scanning technology to identify the security device. They also make use of the CAN data network, which does not require cutting wires upon installation and is more quiet than other immobilisers.
Ghost immobilisers may not be Thatcham approved, but they are TASSA-approved. Certain insurers will offer lower insurance rates to vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. They are however recognised as an extra layer of security and could be a way to deter thieves from attacking your vehicle of choice.
