Ghost Immobiliser Review

Consumers are always seeking ways to stop car thefts as they increase. Ghost immobiliser is an innovative device that is able to do exactly that.

It's the only aftermarket CAN-bus immobiliser in the world that guards against key hacking or key cloning and also stops thieves from stealing your vehicle.

No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals

Unlike other physical anti-theft devices like steering wheel locks and wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers are made to be concealed and inaccessible. They are built into vehicle buttons and provide protection against key cloning. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from starting until you enter a PIN number along with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and can be altered by the driver via an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin, a button fails or you sell your vehicle there's an emergency pin code unique to every device that can be used to reset the system.

Ghost immobilisers also have the benefit of not being detected 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 utilize the CAN data network, which does not require wire cutting after installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

Ghost immobilisers might not be Thatcham approved, but they are TASSA-approved. Certain insurers offer lower rates on insurance for vehicles equipped with an aftermarket immobiliser. They are however recognised as an additional layer of security and could be a way to deter thieves from attacking your vehicle of choice.
