The Reason You Shouldn't Think About Improving Your Ghost Immobiliser Car

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.
