Ghost Immobiliser Cars
Ghost immobilisers are an advanced security device that safeguards your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It is undetectable, and does not leave any marks after installation. This makes it a preferred choice for owners of expensive cars or cars that are rare.
It makes use of buttons on your steering wheel, centre console, and door panels to make a unique pin code sequence (up to 20 characters) which must be entered before the engine can be started.
No LED indicators or key-fobs to reveal the location of the vehicle.
A ghost immobiliser guards your vehicle from hacking and key cloning. It's a discrete electronic device that is connected to the data network of your vehicle and intercepts signals from your engine control unit (ECU). This system prevents the engine from starting until a specific PIN code is entered, ensuring that thieves cannot drive away with your joy and pride.
The device is connected to the CAN bus of your vehicle which allows it to read data that is exchanged between the ECU and the other connected components in the car. Installation is a highly-specialised process and requires a certified installer. After installation, the device will be hidden inside your vehicle and will be undetectable to thieves. In addition to being able to block the engine's start, it can detect vibrations as well as the movement of the components within the vehicle.
If a thief tries to disable the device in this way, it can cause the vehicle's engine management lights to flash rapidly and the horn will sound. This will warn the driver that something is not right in the engine, prompting them to panic and abandon the vehicle. This gives you an advantage over a standard immobiliser since the owner will know that the vehicle is in trouble and call the authorities right away.
The device can be disabled by an app that can be accessed both by the owner as well as the installer (even since the majority of people are unlikely to forget their PIN code). Some systems even come with the option of a service/valet mode that will temporarily disarm the immobiliser, allowing a trusted person to drive your vehicle without needing the PIN. The system will be activated after the vehicle has reached 31 mph and has been driven for a certain amount of time.
There isn't Bluetooth or wireless connectivity
It is therefore unnoticeable by modern thieves who employ diagnostics to detect an immobiliser that is hidden or a circuit cut. This makes it an effective security measure against theft of vehicles. We can also turn on the GHOST's vehicle-specific features, such as anti-hijack & gearbox locks to stop the engine from starting in a particular gear.
Our certified installers can install the GHOST to a variety of vehicles. It is fully compatible with all Mercedes vehicles. Unlike other products on the market it is the only one that works.

It's a stealth-immobiliser for the 21st century, which works independently of your alarm system installed by the factory or tracker.
Unlike some immobilisers that only require a PIN code to disarm the device and the Ghost can be disabled by entering an unintentional sequence of key presses from the driver's mobile app. It is easy to accomplish and can be done anywhere in the world. You can alter the sequence as many times as you like too - it is only visible to the app's owner.
You can also disable the GHOST feature in your satnav by entering a different sequence. This makes it more secure and deterrent to 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 device.
No annual fees
