Ghost immobilisers are capable of preventing key cloning and signal jamming and devices spoofing. These are the methods thieves employ to gain access into vehicles equipped that have standard immobilisers.
An immobiliser operates by sending an electronic code to the ECU (electronic control unit). If the wrong code is received and the vehicle does not start because the engine will not start.

The delay time frame must be long enough to allow the victim of the vehicle to drive away from the site of the hijacking and a sufficient distance from the vehicle that is stalled before the system can reactivate.
The Ghost offers an additional level of security that prevents common hacking techniques used to gain access into modern cars, such as relay attacks and key range expanding. The Ghost system communicates in a quiet way and does not emit signals that can be picked by a thief with code-grabbing technology or RF scanning.
