It can also stop key theft. It works by interfacing with your vehicle's CAN data networks and using buttons on the dashboard and the steering wheel to create a unique code pattern that has to be entered before the engine can start.

For example, frequent mismatches can result in the device locking your vehicle for a period of time, or excessive attempts might drain your battery.

The Ghost is a next-generation device that connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle. It uses existing buttons on your vehicle (such as buttons on the dashboard or steering wheel) to create a code sequence that is unique to you. This means it cannot be used to steal your vehicle. It's also completely hidden inside your vehicle without LED indication or radio signals to give away its location. This makes it difficult for professional burglar to locate and tamper.

It's constantly moving from park to drive when I put the car into reverse. It will not start until I input the disarm sequence. When my engine warning light is on, it's difficult to enter the disarm sequence. I've also tried turning off my warning lights for engine however that also didn't work. I'm not certain if it is a compatibility issue or if there is another way around it.

This prevents thieves from detecting the distinctive click of an immobiliser relay, and it is impossible to disable this feature. It is crucial to only use the device on vehicles that are declared compatible. Make sure that make sure that your Ghost immobiliser is installed by a certified technician to avoid any issues with the wiring of the device and compatibility with other systems.
