Once installed, the device will prevent your car from moving unless the pin code sequence you choose (up to 20 presses) is entered, similar to as a PIN on your credit card.
No Key Fobs or LED Indications to Give Away Its Location
The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators so it is virtually undetectable by anyone who gets into your vehicle. The system makes use of buttons on the steering wheel, the centre console, or door to generate an unique pin code that has to be entered to allow your car to begin. The system can be set to require up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine will start making it virtually impossible for thieves to clone your keys or hack into your vehicle.
Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools in order to determine what security systems are fitted on vehicles. The Ghost, however, does not send any signals. Criminals can determine the type of security system installed in your car by using sophisticated technology for RF scanning such as code grabbing, relay and attack techniques. They are able to disable your vehicle's security system by altering the alarm or immobiliser.
The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers on the market as it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your car or van and is nearly impossible to bypass.

Unlike other aftermarket car security devices, this one isn't connected to key fobs or LED indications and communicates directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It can then block the ECU and prevent the engine from running until a specific PIN has been entered into the steering wheel or dash buttons (brand dependent). This makes it difficult for thieves to alter the system through relay attacks, or any other method.
The system comes with an Service and Valet mode that is activated while the vehicle is in a garage for servicing, or valet parking. The vehicle can be started temporarily while it is being repaired without having to enter the pin code or hand over keys. The system will automatically stop itself when you have returned the vehicle.
