Ghost 2 Key Features & Benefits
Real Theft Prevention
- Prevents key cloning
Key cloning is one of the techniques thieves use to steal vehicles with the traditional keyless system. Since Ghost II does not use key signals at all, it renders this method useless.
- Stops relay theft
Thieves use signal boosters to intercept the frequency to trick your car into believing that a key is present. But because Ghost II doesn’t emit any signal, it is completely immune to this technique which is known as relay theft.
- Blocks unauthorised engine start
Tradditional immobilisers can be easily bypassed by cutting wires, the Ghost II interacts directly with the CAN Bus data system of your vehicle, sending stop command to the engine management system to render the vehicle immobile until the correct password is entered.
Discreet &Undetectable
- No LED lights
Ghost II has no red light or button that gives out its location. This makes it impossible for a thief sitting in the driver’s seat to whether or not you have installed an immobilizer, leaving them confused while your vehicle remains in the same spot.
- No RF signals
Ghost II is a silent device that does not emit radio frequency signal, making it impossible for diagnostic tools and scanners used by mordern criminals to detect it, giving your vehicle and extra layer of security that just can’t be found.
- Hidden installation
The Ghost II is an incredibly small device, which makes it easy for technicians to hide it within the vehicle’s wiring harness, making it impossible to be found or removed by thieves.
Smart Operation
- PIN-to-drive sequence
The Ghost II allows you to use an existing button on your centre console, steering wheel, or door panels to create a unique disarm sequence that will be required to start your car. Without knowing this pin-to-drive sequence, your vehicle will remain stationary.
- Optional Bluetooth disarm
If you want everyday convenience without compromising safety, you can use the Bluetooth disarming feature of Ghost II to unlock and start your vehicle when your authorised phone is within range and the app is running.
Sometimes, you may need temporary access to your vehicle, maybe for car washing or mechanical service. The service/valet mode feature of Ghost II allow you to bypass the PIN requirement without compromising the safety of your car.

Ghost Immobiliser vs Tracker – Do You Need Both?
Immobiliser stops theft
A Ghost immobilizer is a preventive measure: stops theft before it happens. Prevents the engine from starting unless the correct pin sequence is entered through an existing button on a steering wheel, or door panel.
Tracker recovers vehicle
A tracker only helps with the recovery process. Using GPS technology, it tracks location in real-time, allowing authorities to easily trace and recover the vehicle.
Best protection combines both
The best security complement immobilisers with trackers. While the immobiliser prevents theft from ever happening, tracker hastens the recovery process in the most unlikely situation.
Advice based on vehicle value
The higher the value of your vehicle, the more you need to implement a dual layer protection. If your vehicle is averagely priced, the most cost effective solution for you is the immobiliser. But if you have a mid or high valued car, it is best to combine both immobiliser and tracker.
