Ghost Immobiliser Cars
Ghost immobiliser cars are an advanced security device that protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It is undetectable and leaves no marks behind after installation, making it a popular choice for the owners of rare or expensive vehicles.
The buttons on your steering wheel, console and door panels are used to generate an unique pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is required to start the engine.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs, or other indicators to assist you in finding it.
Ghost immobilisers protect your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is a discrete electronic device that connects to the car's data network. It intercepts signals from the engine control unit. This device stops the engine from starting until you enter a specific PIN code. It makes sure that thieves can't drive off with your pride and joy.
The device is connected to the CAN Bus of your vehicle, allowing it access to data between the ECU of the vehicle and the other components connected. Installation is a highly-specialised procedure and requires a certified installer. Once it is installed the device will be hidden within your vehicle and will be undetectable to thieves. In addition to being able to block engine start, it can also detect vibrations and the movement of the components within the vehicle.
If a burglar attempts to disable the device, the engine management lights will flash quickly and the horn will sound. This alerts the driver that something is not right with the engine, causing the driver to panic and abandon the vehicle. This is a fantastic alternative to an immobiliser that is standard since the owner of the vehicle can call the authorities right away should the vehicle be in danger.
The device can be disarmed using an app, which can be accessed by both the owner and installer (even although it's unlikely anyone will forget their PIN code!). Some systems even come with an option for service/valet, which temporarily disables the immobiliser, allowing a trusted person to drive your vehicle without needing the PIN. The system will activate when the vehicle has surpassed 31 mph, and driven for a certain period of time.
There is no Bluetooth or wireless connectivity
This means it cannot be detected by the modern thieves using diagnostics to identify a circuit cut or hidden immobiliser and is unnoticeable because it doesn't use any radio signals. This makes it an effective deterrent to vehicle theft. The GHOST also offers options for specific vehicle features, such as a gearbox lock (to prevent the engine from starting when it is in the gearbox) and anti-hijack, which we can enable for you after installation.
The GHOST is installed by our certified installers to a range of vehicles and is compatible with each Mercedes vehicle. Contrary to other products on market The GHOST works with your vehicle's existing interfaces, such as buttons on your steering wheel or driver's side door card or centre console. It's a stealth immobiliser for the 21st century, which operates independently of your factory-installed alarm or tracker.
The Ghost can be disabled by entering a secret sequence of buttons from the driver's smartphone application. It's easy to accomplish and can be done from any place in the world. You can alter the sequence as often as you like too - it is only visible to the app's creator.
It's also possible to disable the GHOST on the satnav in your vehicle by entering a different sequence, making it even more secure as a way to deter against thieves. This method is so effective that an Bentley Bentayga valued at PS200k was stolen recently while it was in a parking lot and the driver entered their PIN in order to disable the device.
No annual fees
Ghost is a more advanced immobiliser that combats the various methods employed by thieves to steal vehicles. Ghost can detect signal jamming as well as device spoofing and other methods to make it harder to steal your car. The device requires a unique pin code or code sequence in order to start the vehicle. This deters thieves and encourages thieves to leave your car alone.
This makes it a useful instrument for luxury cars which are more susceptible of being stolen. You can therefore enjoy increased security and preserve the value for resale of your vehicle. Additionally, installing the Ghost Immobiliser could reduce your car insurance premiums. While the device costs more than conventional immobilisers but the security it provides makes it worth the investment.
Ghost does not require an annual subscription. It connects to your phone via low-energy bluetooth. This creates a secure connection between the immobiliser and your phone, making it virtually impossible for hackers or criminals to break into. Furthermore, there are no LED indications to give away the location of the device.

No need to memorise a PIN code
A ghost immobiliser car is an extra layer of security that blocks thieves with a technological edge from starting your car even in the event that they've copied your key fob or taken it. It is connected to your car's control area network (CAN) system and disables the engine if you press the start button without entering a PIN code sequence first. It doesn't require a new keypad, but instead uses buttons on your vehicle such as the steering wheels, door panels, or central console. This means that it's not only undetectable to thieves, but also preserves the look of your vehicle's interior.

ghost immobiliser and tracker is normal to forget your PIN code the same way you would forget any other password or security measure. If this happens, you shouldn't be worried as it's simple to reset. You can obtain an emergency code by contacting the installer that installed your system. The code is typically concealed under the scratch-off portion of the card that was provided at the time of installation. It's essential to store this information in a secure location.
