The Ghost Immobiliser
Immobilisers are a potent weapon in the fight against car theft. The Key Lab prevent the car from starting without a key fob and are effective in stopping hotwiring and traditional forms of vehicle theft. However, more modern methods such as key replication and relay theft are becoming more widespread.
The Ghost Immobiliser was designed to combat these trends and make your vehicle unnoticeable. It doesn't use LED indications radio signals, key fobs and is quiet and stealthy.
Easy to install
The Ghost Immobiliser is a revolutionary device that connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle to prevent key theft and cloning. It is a TASSA approved product and insurance companies also endorse it. It is virtually undetectable by thieves and operates in silence. It makes use of buttons on your steering wheel as well as the centre console to create an individual pin-code sequence you have to enter before you can start the vehicle. You can create as many as 20 different sequences to increase security. The system is simple to set up and does not require any additional hardware or wiring.
To ensure the highest quality results it is recommended you select a reputable CAN immobiliser installer who is specialized in your specific vehicle. It is ideal if they have a workshop located in your local area, allowing you to go and get the installation completed. They will also have a range of tools and materials to help you during the installation process. These include basic hand tools, a multimeter and insulation tape as well as heat shrink tubing to safeguard connections. A user's manual will give you instructions for your vehicle's wiring.
Before starting the installation, disconnect the battery to avoid short circuits and airbag deployment. It is important to double-check the exact location of the CAN H and L wires, since the wrong identification could result in unintentional system integration. It is also a good idea to label or mark the wires. Utilize a multimeter to verify that the power source is providing the same 12V.
Advanced thieves can employ various methods to bypass the Ghost Immobiliser, which includes blocking and using spoofing signals. These methods are based on amplifying the signal that is sent from your key fob to the electronic control unit of your vehicle. With advanced anti-jamming techniques and a constant monitoring system your vehicle will be protected from these sophisticated attacks.
Security enhancing
Ghost immobilisers provide an extra layer of security to safeguard your car from theft. It has a PIN security system that you can enter using buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard making it difficult for thieves to take your vehicle. The device is also designed to be hidden inside your vehicle, with no LEDs or other signals that would warn thieves of its presence. It communicates with your car's ECU through the data bus, so it is not susceptible to the same hacking and relay attacks that can disable conventional security systems.
The system is a valuable investment for those who own luxury cars, since they are at a greater risk of theft because of their value and the popularity. The enhanced features of the system protect your vehicle from key copying and ECU swapping. Some ghost immobilisers may be paired with an app, allowing you can easily arm and disarm them. They can also have a service/valet mode that allows you to temporarily disable them while your vehicle is being serviced or repaired.
Another great feature of ghost immobilisers is that it does not require any wire cutting. This is an excellent feature, especially if your vehicle is more recent and doesn't include an immobiliser. Certain systems are equipped to work with the GPS tracking device, which can provide an additional layer of security to your vehicle. A GPS tracker may also reduce your insurance rates. If you choose to buy a ghost immobiliser, ensure that it is TASSA-verified and that an expert installer installs the device for you.
Compatible with all major models and brands

The system is tamper-proof, undetectable, and is covered by a three-year warranty. It is also fully endorsed by insurance providers. This means you can reduce your premiums.
The Ghost system differs from the traditional immobilisers that rely on the key fob to provide ignition control. It connects directly to the engine controller through the CAN bus. This means it's tamper proof, virtually impossible to remove or disable and is not hacked by organised car thief gangs. The Ghost system can also be integrated with an iPhone app to monitor remotely and management.
You can design an PIN that is easy to remember, yet mathematically unattainable to thieves. You can modify and modify the PIN at anytime to ensure your vehicle's security, even if it is parked in a parking lot or on the street. You can also set a service or valet mode if you need someone else to drive your vehicle for a short period, for example when it's in garage for maintenance. This feature is also an excellent way to stop your vehicle from being stolen by an unscrupulous mechanic. For added security you can choose a Ghost call alert which will notify you if your vehicle is moving or if it has been moved.
Convenience

It connects to the car's CAN data network and preventing communication with the engine ECU. This system makes it difficult for criminals to hack or copy your vehicle.
After installation, you'll need to enter a PIN of up to 20 digits long using the buttons on the dashboard as well as the steering wheel to begin the vehicle. The system is completely hidden, and therefore undetectable by thieves. It doesn't emit radio frequency signals. It is also able to be set to change the PIN of the user, which further enhances its security. The system is also designed to prevent cutting of circuits, making it virtually impossible to alter.
Some systems allow you to connect directly to the immobiliser through an app on your smartphone, disarming it immediately in the event that you forget your PIN. Some come with a service/valet mode that allows you to start your vehicle temporarily, like when you need to drop it off for servicing or valet parking.
The Ghost Immobiliser is also unnoticeable to thieves because it does not transmit any radio signals, which is a significant advantage over other aftermarket car security systems.
