Ghost Immobiliser Cars
A ghost immobiliser is a high-tech security device that protects you from key cloning or hacking. It is undetectable and leaves no trace after installation. This makes it a preferred choice for owners of expensive vehicles or cars that are rare.
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 needed to start the engine.
There are no key-fobs, LEDs or other indicators to indicate the location of the vehicle.
A ghost immobiliser is a brand new piece of technology that guards your vehicle from key cloning, hacking, and theft. It's a discrete electronic device that connects to your vehicle's data network and intercepts signals from the engine control unit (ECU). This device prevents your car's engine from starting until a unique PIN code is entered, making sure that thieves are unable to escape with your joy and pride.
The device is connected to the CAN bus in your vehicle which allows it to read data that is exchanged between the ECU and other components that are connected to the vehicle. The installation process is highly complex process that requires expert installation and should be performed by a licensed installer. Once it is installed the device will be hidden inside your vehicle, making it undetectable to thieves. It can detect vibrations as well as the movement of components and vehicle components.
If a thief attempts to disable the device, the engine management lights will flash rapidly, and the horn will sound. This will alert the driver to the fact that there is an issue with the engine. They may panic and abandon their vehicle. This will give you a huge advantage over an ordinary immobiliser since the owner will be aware that their vehicle is in trouble and will contact the authorities immediately.
The device can be deactivated via an app, which is accessible to the owner and installer (even even though it's unlikely anyone would forget their PIN number!). Some models include a service/valet option that will temporarily disable the immobiliser and allow an authorized driver to drive the vehicle without the need for a PIN. The system will be activated once the vehicle has exceeded 31 mph, and driven for a certain period of time.

This means that it is not detected by the modern thieves using diagnostics to identify an unconnected circuit or hidden immobiliser. It is unnoticeable because it doesn't utilize radio signals. This makes it a potent security measure against theft of vehicles. The GHOST also comes with options for your vehicle specific features such as gearbox lock (to stop the engine from starting when in the gearbox) & anti-hijack that we can activate for you after installation.
Our certified installers can install the GHOST to a variety of vehicles. It is fully compatible with all Mercedes vehicles.

It's a stealth immobiliser for the 21st century that is independent of your alarm system installed by the factory or tracker.
Unlike some immobilisers that only have a pin code to arm the device The Ghost can also be disabled in a secret sequence of key presses from the driver's mobile app. It's easy to do and is possible to do it anywhere in the world. You can change the sequence as often as you want - it is only visible to the app's creator.
You can also disable the GHOST in your satnav using a different sequence. This makes it more secure and less attractive to thieves. This method is so effective that an Bentley Bentayga valued at PS200k was stolen in the last few days while it was parked and the driver entered their PIN in order to disable device.
No annual subscriptions
Ghost is a more sophisticated immobiliser that combats the various tactics employed by thieves to steal vehicles. Ghost can detect signal jamming techniques such as device spoofing, signal jamming, and other methods to make it more difficult to steal your car. The device requires an individual pin code or code sequence to start the vehicle. This discourages thieves and encourages your vehicle to be left alone.

Ghost does not require an annual subscription. It connects to your mobile via low energy bluetooth. This creates an encrypted connection between your phone and the immobiliser, making it almost impossible for criminals to intercept. Additionally, there aren't LED indicators to reveal the location of the device.
