Ghost Immobiliser Review

Consumers are always trying to find ways to prevent car theft, which is on the rise. The ghost immobiliser does exactly what it says on the tin.

It's the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning or keyless entry, and prevents thieves from stealing your vehicle.

No Faraday Bags and Radio Signals

Ghost immobilisers, unlike other physical anti-theft measures like steering wheel locks or wheel clamps are designed to be undetectable and hidden. Integrated into the vehicle's buttons they protect against key hacking, cloning and ECU swapping, and even key theft. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from running until you enter a specific PIN code along with your key fob. This PIN code is up to 20 presses long and can be modified by the driver through an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin, or the button is damaged or you decide to sell your vehicle you can utilize an emergency PIN code that is unique to each device to reset the system.

audi rs6 ghost installer immobilisers come with the benefit of not being detected by diagnostic equipment and don't emit radio frequency signals. This means that thieves are unable to use sophisticated scanning technology to detect the security device. They also make use of the CAN data network, which does not require cutting wires upon installation and is quieter than other immobilisers.

Although ghost immobilisers aren't Thatcham approved but they are TASSA approved and some insurance companies offer lower rates on insurance for vehicles with an aftermarket immobiliser. However, they are accepted as an additional security layer that can deter thieves.
