Ghost Immobiliser Review
Consumers are always trying to find ways to prevent car theft as it increases. The ghost immobiliser does exactly what it says on the tin.
It's the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser on the market that protects against key hacking or key cloning and prevents thieves from stealing your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals
In contrast to other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers have been designed to be covert and undetectable. They are built into vehicle buttons and provide protection against key copying. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from beginning until you enter a PIN number along with your key fob. The PIN code can be 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 a button breaks or you sell your car There's an emergency PIN code specific to each device that can be used to reset the system.
As an added bonus, ghost immobilisers are undetectable by diagnostic tools and don't emit any radio frequency signals, so thieves aren't able to employ sophisticated RF scanning technologies to detect the presence of security devices. They also utilize the CAN data network which requires no wire cutting upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.
Although ghost immobilisers may not be Thatcham approved however they are TASSA approved and some insurance companies offer reduced insurance rates for vehicles that have an aftermarket immobiliser fitted. They are however recognised as an extra layer of security and could be a way to deter thieves from targeting your pride and joy.
