No Key Fobs or LED Indicators to identify its location
The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone who enters your vehicle since it doesn't use LED indicators or key fobs. The system makes use of buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console and door buttons as well as the steering wheel to create an unique, programmable pin code sequence that must be entered before the car starts.

Modern car thieves utilize professional diagnostic tools to determine which security systems are installed on vehicles. The Ghost, however, does not transmit any signals. Criminals can identify the type of security system that is installed in your vehicle using sophisticated RF scanning technology, code grabbing and relay attack methods. ghost immobiliser birmingham will allow them to alter the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your security system and get away with your vehicle.

The system also works with a variety of modern vehicles which do not come with built-in key fob security. It will also work on electric vehicles in the majority of cases and even prevent the car from entering "service valet mode".

This makes it impossible for criminals to hack the system through relay attacks or any other means.
The system also has the Service and Valet mode which is activated when the vehicle is in the garage for servicing or valet parking.

This is particularly beneficial in the event that you have a certified Thatcham Tracker installed, as the tracker will be activated prior to the time Ghost is activated.
