Ghost Immobiliser Cars
Ghost immobilisers are an advanced security device that safeguards your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is undetectable and leaves no marks behind after installation, making it a popular choice for the owners of rare or expensive vehicles.
It uses buttons in your steering wheel, centre console and door panels to make an individual pin code sequence (up to 20 characters) which must be entered before the engine can begin.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to reveal its location
A ghost immobiliser protects your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is a discrete electronic device that connects to the car's data network. It is able to intercept signals sent by the engine control unit. This system prevents the engine from starting until you enter a specific PIN code. It makes sure that thieves aren't able to drive away with your pride and joy.
The device is connected to your vehicle's CAN Bus, allowing it access to data between the ECU of the car and the other connected components. The installation process is highly specialised process that requires expert installation and should be carried out by a certified installer. Once it is installed, it will be hidden inside your car and thus unnoticeable to thieves. It is able to detect vibrations, and also the movement of car components and parts.
If a burglar attempts to disable the device and disable it, it will cause the car's engine management lights to flash quickly and the horn will honk. 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 an immobiliser that is standard since the owner of the vehicle will be able to call the authorities right away when the vehicle is in danger.
The device can be disarmed using an app, which can be accessed by the owner and installer (even even though it's unlikely anyone would forget their PIN number!). Some systems even come with a service/valet mode, which will temporarily disarm 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 was driven for a specific period of time.
There is no Bluetooth or wireless connectivity
This means that it is not detected by the modern thieves who use diagnostics to locate the circuit's cut or hidden immobiliser. It's inaccessible because it does not make use of radio signals. This makes it a reliable preventative against vehicle theft. The GHOST also offers options for specific vehicle features like gearbox lock (to prevent the engine starting while in the gearbox) and anti-hijack which we can activate for you upon installation.
Our approved installers can connect the GHOST to a wide variety of vehicles. It is fully compatible with all Mercedes vehicles. GHOST is distinct from other products available on market due to its compatibility with the existing interfaces of your vehicle, for example buttons on the steering wheel, door card on the driver's side, or the central console. It's a stealth-immobiliser for the 21st century, which operates independently of your factory installed alarm or tracker.
The Ghost can be disabled by entering a secret sequence of buttons that can be accessed through the driver's smartphone application. It's simple to accomplish and can be done anywhere in the world. You can change it at any time you want and only the app's owner will be able to see the changes.
It's also possible to disable the GHOST feature of the satnav in your vehicle by entering another sequence, making it even more secure as a way to deter against thieves. This method is so effective, that it was the reason a Bentley Bentayga valued at PS200k was stolen recently while it was parked and the driver entered their PIN in order to disable the device.
No annual fees
Ghost is a more sophisticated immobiliser that fights the different techniques used by thieves to steal cars. For instance, it is able to detect signal jamming, device spoofing, and other techniques that make the theft of your vehicle more difficult. The device requires an individual pin code or code sequence in order to start the car. This discourages thieves and encourages your vehicle to be left unattended.
This makes the device a valuable asset for luxury vehicles that are at greater chance of being stolen. In the end, you can enjoy improved security and preserve the value of your vehicle for resale. Additionally the Ghost Immobiliser can even reduce your car insurance premiums. The Ghost Immobiliser is more expensive than conventional immobilisers, but the peace of mind that it provides is worth the cost.
Ghost does not require an annual subscription. It connects to your phone using low-energy bluetooth. This creates an encrypted connection between your phone and the immobiliser, making it nearly impossible for criminals to intercept. There are also no LED indicators to show the location of the device.

Simple to reset
Since the introduction of ghost immobilisers have proven to be a pioneer in the field of vehicle security. It has maintained its position in front of even the most determined thieves using un-detectable positioning, communication through CANBus and ECU tech and an unique pin code. It doesn't require a key fob, or any other wireless connection to function. It can also be removed from your vehicle in the event that you decide to sell it.
It's normal to forget your PIN code the same way you would forget any other password or security measure. If this happens, don't worry as it is easy to reset. You can get an emergency code by contacting the installer who installed your system. The code is typically concealed under the scratch-off portion of a card provided at the time of installation. It is essential to keep the code in a safe place.
The Emergency Code allows you to gain access to your vehicle so that you can drive as normal. This is a great option in situations where you have to transfer your car to someone other than yourself for service or valet parking. It can also be used if you want to ensure that your car is secure while you're away from it, so that no one other person can start the engine.
