Secures your vehicle from key cloning and prevents thieves from driving your vehicle with original keys. Our latest immobiliser is connected to your vehicle's CAN data network and a unique pin must be entered to begin the engine.
In contrast to trackers, Ghost doesn't transmit any radio frequency signals and can't be detected using diagnostics tools. It also has no LED indicators or buttons that can give the impression that it is in your van or car.
Anti-key Cloning
The Ghost immobiliser was developed to stop key cloning. The device connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle and generates an unique pin code push sequence by using the buttons that are factory-installed on your dashboard and the steering wheel. This stops the criminal from being capable of starting your car. If the incorrect PIN is entered, it will prevent your engine from running and making it impossible to leave with your joy and pride.

The ghost immobiliser is different from physical deterrents like wheel locks or steering locks that are able to be cut, is a discreet electronic device. ghost immobiliser price can't even be recognized by thieves as it emits no radio signals and operates silently.
This next-generation immobiliser will protect your vehicle from a range of threats, including key-hacking, relay attacks and duplicate copies. It can also prevent thieves from adding a new key or replacing your ECU by ensuring that it does not allow the vehicle to start without entering the correct PIN number first.
Contrary to other immobilisers, the ghost immobiliser 2 doesn't require a key fobs or remotes in order to operate. It can be turned off using an app on the smartphone of the driver. This is a great option when you have to hand your car to valet parking, or maintenance without key fobs.

OBD port hacking
OBD port hacking is the newest method being used by professional car thieves to steal cars. Thieves can access your vehicle's OBD port with nothing more than an laptop, an app, and a few cables, which can be bought online for less than PS50. Once they have access, they will be able to do anything they like to do, from resetting your vehicle's fault codes to tuning your vehicle, or taking it away in under a minute.
If you have a Ghost immobiliser, it can stop your car being stolen using this method by making sure that an unique PIN code sequence is entered alongside the fob of your key in order to start the engine and then drive away. It communicates with the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit), using the CAN Data Circuit. This is undetectable by any RF scanning technology or code grabbing. It comes with a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code.
You will also need an OBD cable that has OBD pins, which are connected to the CAN bus. These cables can be found on Amazon/Ebay for around PS50. You will also require a cable with OBD pins connected to CAN Bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for PS50. Then, you need to splice the cable into the wiring harness of your car for example, in the radio wiring harness.
Once the hacker has established a connection to your vehicles OBD port, they can send diagnostics requests to the system at high baud rates which can cause CAN to crash, and prevent systems within your car from functioning. This could cause your vehicle's engine to stall or shut down.
No remotes or keys required.

They will then be able start your car.
With the TASSA approved Ghost 2 immobiliser, there are no remotes or keys to be purchased. The immobiliser is directly connected to the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit).

Simple Change of PIN Code
Ghost is a next generation device that protects your vehicle without cutting wires or putting in aftermarket key fobs. It is directly connected to the vehicles CAN data network and a personal PIN code is programmed into it by pressing buttons on your steering wheel & dash. The device does not emit RF signals, therefore it is not able to be tampered with. This makes it impossible to be detected by sophisticated RF scanning and code grabbing techniques used by modern thieves.
The PIN code is able to be changed to lock out previous drivers or even include an override code if you forget the sequence. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to accomplish this. The system also comes with the option of a valet mode that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence so that your mechanic or garage can service the vehicle without needing to know the code. This is ideal for those who want to hand over their vehicle for valet parking or service but still don't want to divulge the pin sequence.
Unlike Thatcham products which require additional key fobs to operate, Ghost is a discreet system that makes use of the buttons in your vehicle to create a unique interchangeable PIN code sequence. This sequence is entered using the app for smartphones, meaning that no additional LEDs are thrown and your car is secure and safe from the possibility of being disabled by hackers or any other technology.
Every vehicle is tested
Unlike key fobs that require you to press buttons, a ghost immobiliser is hidden under your steering wheel or dash so that only you know that it's there. The device is connected to your car's CAN data networks and an individual PIN code is programmed by using the buttons already on your vehicle. The system won't permit your car to start until the code is entered. This means that thieves can't duplicate the keys on your car or access the OBD port to hack your vehicle.
Ghost is a feature that can be found in all vehicles including electric cars, vans motorhomes and bicycles. It is also extremely versatile and can be set to disable under different circumstances. It is possible to program it to go into Valet mode, for example when the vehicle is taken to a valet service or parking company. This allows you to drive within a speed limit of 30 mph and the ghost immobiliser will turn on itself when your vehicle returns to your possession.
The device can also be reset at any time to your personal PIN number. This is beneficial if you forget the code or the device becomes inoperable and is as good as new again.
The device is unnoticed by anyone who doesn't know what it is. It does this by analyzing the buttons on your steering wheel and dashboard and analyzing the data they transmit to determine the exact button that was hit. This makes it a safe and reliable security solution that isn't affected by jamming, RF scanning or door lock pick sets.
