This means that a ghost immobilise r won't stop your car from being started even if a thief has succeeded in cloning your key or taken it.
Ghost immobilisers are also effective against relay attacks. These are when you amplify the signal from your key fob to fool the system into allowing your car to start. The Ghost will detect this and not start the car until you enter the PIN code. This is a great method to stop thieves who have access to affordable and simple equipment to clone or take your car.
The Ghost can also be installed discreetly (without doing any damage to your vehicle) and will only function when the correct pin sequence has been entered. It is only accessible to the owner, therefore no one else is able to use your vehicle unless they know your pin code. Some systems allow the proprietor to set up a valet or service mode, which allows them to let temporarily others use their vehicle without having to disclose their pin code. This helps protect the vehicle from thefts that could be triggered by opportunistic means.
As well as being very user friendly and quick to dearm The Ghost can also be connected with an auto tracker to make it possible for you to track your car.

When you connect your Ghost to your CAN data network, it will identify the vehicle and its owner through the unique pin code created at the time of installation. This allows the device communicate with your car's ECU and to stop the engine. This means that only the car's owner, or someone with the PIN code, can start the engine.
Because the pin code is made from buttons that are within easy reach of the driver (such as cruise control and stereo mute) it is mathematically inaccessible to be guessed by potential thieves. Your engineer will give you a Pin Code Override Card that is like a lottery scratch-off ticket. It simply must be scratched to reveal the code.
Unlike traditional immobilisers which are usually identified by thieves using diagnostics to read the immobiliser relay, your Ghost is not detected by these methods as it doesn't employ radio frequencies or circuit cuts.
