10 Basics About Ghost Immobiliser Installer You Didn't Learn In The Classroom

Why Choose a Ghost Immobiliser Installer?

The Ghost Immobiliser is a highly efficient anti-theft device that stops key duplicates. It is not detectable by thieves because it doesn't use RF signals or LED indicators to operate. It also has an option for service valet that lets you turn off the PIN input sequence so that your garage or mechanic can service your vehicle without knowing your pin code.

Legal implications

As thieves become more sophisticated in their methods drivers are looking to technological solutions for their car security. Ghost Immobilisers and Dash Cams and other security gadgets are among the most sought-after. Choosing the best option is dependent on your driving habits as well as the local crime rate. While Ghost Immobilisers are primarily focused on protecting your car from theft, Dash Cams can provide video evidence in the event of an accident.

A Ghost Immobiliser is a subtle electronic device that stops your vehicle from starting if it is altered. Unlike traditional physical deterrents, such as wheel locks and steering clamps, it operates silently and is nearly undetectable by thieves. The device connects to the CAN network of your vehicle and makes use of the buttons already in your vehicle to create a unique sequence. If the incorrect PIN is entered, your car won't start, and it will also shut down any other technology that may be used to steal your vehicle.

Ghost immobilisers work directly with the buttons on your car, unlike Thatcham-approved products which require a key fob in order to function. This makes it much more difficult to clone keys or hack into the system. It also employs an unique encryption system to ensure that no one else is able to use the same PIN for starting your vehicle. It can also be set to disable the vehicle under specific circumstances, such as when you are leaving your car to go to valet parking or a service.

Ghost immobilisers can be installed in a variety of vehicles, including electric vehicles and motorhomes. They can be concealed under the dashboard or behind the steering wheel and are almost impossible to detect by thieves. They are also quiet and emit no emissions. This makes them more effective than traditional physical deterrents to theft.

Ghost immobilisers also have advantages because they don't void your vehicle's warranty. This is due to the fact that they are hidden inside your car and operate on the CAN data network, which means that they do not emit any signals that can be detected by thieves. Their wires are discretely incorporated into the wiring of your car, making them difficult to identify or disable.

Installation process
