Ghost Immobiliser Cars
Ghost immobiliser cars are an advanced security device that shields your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is undetectable and leaves no marks behind after installation, which makes it an ideal choice for owners of rare or expensive vehicles.
The buttons on your steering wheel, console and door panels are used to create an individual pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is required to start the engine.
There are no keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to help you find it.
A ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is an electronic device that connects to your vehicle's network of data. It snoops on signals sent by the engine control unit. The system stops your car's engine 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 connected to the CAN Bus of your vehicle which allows it to to intercept data from the ECU of your vehicle and the other components connected. Installation is a highly skilled procedure that requires a skilled installation, and should only be completed by a certified installer. Once it is installed, it will be hidden inside your car and thus unnoticeable to thieves. In addition to preventing engine start, it will detect vibrations as well as the movement of components within the vehicle.
If a thief tries to disable the device in this way, it can cause the vehicle's engine management lights to flash rapidly and the horn to honk. This will warn the driver that something is not right in the engine, prompting them to panic and abandon the vehicle. This will give you an advantage over an ordinary immobiliser since the owner will be aware that their vehicle is in trouble and call the authorities right away.
The device can be deactivated via an application that can be accessed both by the owner as well as the installer (even even though the majority of people are unlikely to forget their PIN). Some systems even come with a service/valet mode, which will temporarily disarm the immobiliser and allow an authorized person to drive your vehicle without needing the PIN. The system will then be activated when the vehicle reaches 31 mph and has been driven for a specified amount of time.
