Ghost Immobiliser Review

In contrast to other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers are designed to be covert and unnoticeable. Incorporated into the vehicle's buttons, they provide protection against key hacking, cloning and ECU swapping, and even key theft. A ghost immobiliser prevents the engine from running until you enter a specific PIN code in conjunction with your key fob. This code can be up to 20 presses long and is changeable by the driver via an app or by the buttons of the vehicle.
