Once it is installed the device will stop your car from moving unless a chosen pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, just as a PIN number on your credit card.

The system can be set to require up to 20 presses before the engine will start, making it nearly impossible for thieves or cloners to hack into your vehicle.

Modern car thieves employ professional diagnostic tools to detect what security systems are installed in vehicles, but the Ghost does not transmit signals like conventional systems do. Using sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology, and relay attack techniques, criminals can determine the type of security equipment is fitted to your vehicle. This will allow them to alter the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable the system and get away with your vehicle.

The Ghost is unique from other immobilisers available on the market since it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your vehicle or van which makes it virtually impossible to bypass. The system is also compatible with a number of newer car's which do not come with integrated key fob security.
