Ghost Immobiliser Cars
Ghost immobiliser cars are an advanced security device that safeguards your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It is completely undetectable, and it does not leave any marks after installation. This makes it a popular option for owners of expensive vehicles or rare cars.
The buttons on your steering wheel, console and door panels are used to generate a unique pin-code sequence (up to twenty characters) that is required to start the engine.
There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to help you find it.
A ghost immobiliser is a new piece of technology that guards your car from key cloning, hacking, and theft. It's a hidden electronic device that connects to your vehicle's data network and detects signals from the engine control unit (ECU). This system prevents the engine from starting until you enter a unique PIN code. It makes sure that thieves can't drive off with your pride and joy.
The device is linked into the CAN bus in your vehicle, allowing it to intercept data from the ECU and the other components connected to the car. The installation process is highly skilled procedure that requires a skilled installation and should be completed by a certified installer. Once installed the device will be hidden in your car and will be undetectable to thieves. It can detect vibrations, and also the movement of vehicle components and components.
If a burglar attempts to disable the device and disable it, it will cause the vehicle's engine management lights to flash quickly and the horn to honk. This will alert the driver to the fact that there is a problem with the engine. They may panic and abandon their vehicle. This is a fantastic alternative to a standard immobiliser since the owner of the vehicle will be able to contact authorities immediately if the vehicle is in danger.
The device can be disabled by using an app that can be accessed by the owner and installer (even though it's unlikely that anyone will forget their PIN code!). Some models have a service/valet setting which temporarily disables the immobiliser, allowing the driver who is trusted to drive the vehicle without the need for PIN. The system will restart when the vehicle is at 31 mph after driving for a certain amount of time.
There is no Bluetooth or wireless connectivities
This means that it is not detected by the modern thieves using diagnostics to locate an unconnected circuit or hidden immobiliser and is undetectable as it does not utilize radio signals. This makes it a powerful deterrent against vehicle theft. The GHOST also offers options for your specific vehicle features such as gearbox locks (to prevent the engine from starting while in a gear) and anti-hijack, which we can set up after installation.
Our approved installers can fit the GHOST to a wide range of vehicles. It is fully compatible with all Mercedes vehicles.

This makes it a 21st century stealth immobiliser that works independently of the factory-installed alarm or tracker and shows no indication of its existence when installed into your car and hence the name.
In contrast to other immobilisers that have a pin code to arm the device and the Ghost can be disabled by entering in a secret sequence of key presses from the driver's mobile app. This is possible from anywhere in the world, and is easy and painless. You can change the sequence as often as you want - it is only visible to the app's creator.
It is also possible to deactivate the GHOST feature of the satnav in your vehicle by entering a different sequence, making it more secure as a deterrent against thieves. In fact, this method is so effective that a Bentley Bentayga worth PS200k was recently stolen at the lights in a parking lot while it sat stationary and the driver inserted their PIN to disable the device.
No annual fees
While traditional immobilisers prevent vehicles from starting without the correct key fob, Ghost goes a step further and combats a range of methods used by thieves to steal cars. For instance, it can detect signals jamming, device spoofing, and other techniques that make it more difficult to steal your car. The device requires an individual pin code or code sequence in order to start the vehicle. This deters thieves and encourages them to leave your vehicle at home.

Like other devices, Ghost doesn't require an annual subscription. Instead, it works by connecting to your mobile phone using low-energy bluetooth. This creates an encrypted connection between your phone and the immobiliser, making it almost impossible for criminals to intercept. There are no indicators in LEDs to indicate the location of the device.
