Ghost Immobiliser Review

They are integrated into vehicle buttons and provide protection against key copying. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from starting unless you enter a chosen PIN code along with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long, and can be changed by the driver using an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin a button breaks or you sell your car, you can use an emergency PIN code that is unique to each device to reset the system.
