Theft Prevention

The use of a ghost immobiliser tracker makes it much more difficult for thieves to steal your car. The device is connected to the CAN data network inside your car and a personalised PIN code is embedded into it. This code is entered using the buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard and is only known to you. If someone tries to start your vehicle and enters the code, they are prevented from doing so because only you know the PIN. The system is secure and undetectable. It is able to operate in the background and not interfere with your driving experience.

The device is invulnerable to relay attacks, which is the most popular method of theft in the UK. These are thieves who work in groups of two or more. One thief will be near your vehicle, while another one, usually in a neighbouring house or parked along the roadside and will use an electronic device to receive the signal from your key fob and transmit it to their relay. The Ghost II immobiliser stops the thieves from starting your vehicle by blocking the signal from the fob.

It also stops the thief from stealing a new key or replacing an ECU to bypass the system and start your vehicle. It is silent and doesn't generate the noise of traditional immobiliser relays.
