This makes it difficult for thieves to detect using radar scanning devices as they are unable to see or hear it.
The device also stops the cloning of your vehicles keyfob by preventing it from communicating with your cars on-board CAN data network. Car thief gangs that are organized typically employ sophisticated RF scanning and code-grabbing technology to intercept and deactivate security systems in vehicles. Ghost immobilisers, however, are not visible to thieves as they do not emit any RF signals and are integrated into the vehicle's CAN data network, which means there are no circuit breaks during installation and fitting, making them completely inaccessible.

However it is possible to prevent this by using a ghost immobiliser which communicates directly with your vehicle's ECU through the CAN data circuit. This is invisible to hi-tech diagnostics tools and completely silent so that a thief is unable to insert a key or replace the ECU to start the car.
