A ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is a discreet electronic device that connects to your vehicle's data network and detects signals from the engine control unit (ECU). This device stops the engine from starting until you enter a specific PIN code. It makes sure that thieves don't get away with your pride and joy.
The device is connected to the CAN bus in your vehicle which allows it to read data that is exchanged between the ECU and the other components that are connected to the car. The installation process is highly skilled procedure that requires a skilled installation, and should only be carried out by a licensed installer. Once installed, the device will be hidden in your car, making it undetectable to thieves. It can detect vibrations, as well as the movement of vehicle components and components.

This is a great alternative to an immobiliser, as the owner of the vehicle will be able to contact authorities immediately should the vehicle be in danger.
The device can be disarmed 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 systems even have a service/valet mode, which will temporarily disarm the immobiliser and allow someone who is trusted to drive your car without needing the PIN. The system will activate when the vehicle has surpassed 31 mph, and driven for a certain amount of time.
