No Radio Signals
Installing a ghost immobiliser can be an excellent way to safeguard your car from hacking or key cloning. The system is silent, hidden inside the vehicle and does not use radio signals to communicate. This makes it difficult for thieves to detect using radar scanners as they can't hear or see it.
The device also stops cloning your vehicle's keyfob, by preventing the communication between the vehicle's CAN data network and the keyfob. Organised car thieves typically use sophisticated code-grabbing and RF scanning technology to snoop and disable security systems of automobiles. Ghost immobilisers are unnoticed by thieves since they don't emit any RF signal and are integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network. This means that there are no circuit breaks during installation and installation, making them unnoticeable.

This feature can be turned on by a simple app for iOS or Android phones.

However, this can be avoided with a ghost immobiliser that communicates directly with the car's ECU via the CAN data circuit. This is invisible to high-tech diagnostic tools and completely silent, so that thieves can't steal an additional car key or change the ECU to start the car.
The device is reversible and will not impact the warranty of your vehicle. If you're interested in a ghost immobiliser, make sure you choose an TASSA approved installer. This will ensure that the installer has passed a variety of checks, including identification and CRB.
