The installation of the Ghost unit is a highly specialised process and should only be carried out by an approved installer. The unit is carefully incorporated into the vehicle's network of CAN buses and ensures that it is directly connected to the ECU.

Press the service button 5 times in 2 seconds, but make sure you don't hold it down for too long. The system will flash twice to show that Transport Mode is active. This feature is ideal for classic, sports and prestige vehicles that require their security system to be temporarily disabled during transport or servicing.
When the Transport Mode is activated your immobiliser will become removed and you will not be able to restart it by entering the PIN code. This feature is great for those who want to store their vehicles during the winter to prevent theft or to avoid having to pay higher insurance premiums.
No key-fobs or LED indications to indicate the location of the vehicle.
The Ghost immobiliser protects your car from theft by using buttons located on the dashboard or steering wheel. You can enter a pin number without being noticed before starting the engine.

It also doesn't emit radio signals, making it not detected by RF scanners, or signal jammers.
immobiliser ghost 's made to be tamperproof and weatherproof, and is able to stand up to extreme temperatures. It is also unaffected by tampering with by cutting the wires or dismantling the unit. Furthermore, it doesn't require any circuit cutting to function, so it's undetectable to organized gangs of thiefs who utilize diagnostics reading devices to identify fitted security systems.
