There aren't any keyfobs, LEDs or other indicators to help you find it.
A ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from key cloning and hacking. It's a discrete electronic device that is connected to the data network of your vehicle and intercepts signals from the engine control unit (ECU). This system prevents your car's engine from starting until you enter a unique PIN code. It makes sure that thieves don't get away with your pride and joy.
The device is linked into the CAN bus in your vehicle which allows it to read data between the ECU and other components connected to the vehicle. Installation is a highly complex process that requires expert installation and should be carried out by a certified installer. Once installed the device can be hidden in your car which makes it unnoticeable to thieves. It can detect vibrations, and also the movement of components and vehicle components.
If a criminal attempts to disable the device the engine management lights will flash rapidly and the horn will sound. This alerts the driver to the fact that there is an issue with the engine. They might panic and then abandon their vehicle. This is a fantastic alternative to a standard immobiliser in that the owner of the vehicle will be able to contact the authorities right away when the vehicle is in danger.
The device can be disarmed by an application that can be accessed both by the owner and installer (even even though the majority of people will never forget their PIN). Certain systems also have an option for service/valet, which temporarily disables the immobiliser and allow a trusted person to drive your vehicle without having to enter the PIN. The system will be activated when the vehicle has surpassed 31 mph and has been driven for a specified amount of time.
