They are integrated into the vehicle buttons and provide protection against key cloning. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from starting unless you enter a chosen PIN code along with your key fob. This PIN code can be as long as 20 presses long and can be changed by the driver using an app or by the buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin or a button breaks, or if you sell your car or sell it, you can use an emergency PIN code that’s unique to each device to reset the system.

Additionally, ghost immobilisers are undetectable by diagnostic tools. They don’t emit any radio frequency signals, so thieves can’t utilize sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of a security device. They also use the CAN data network which does not require wire cutting after installation and is more quiet than other immobilisers.
