The Ghost II Immobilizer enhances vehicle security by establishing communication with your car's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) through the CAN data network. This advanced system utilizes buttons strategically placed within your vehicle, such as on the steering wheel, door panels, or center console, to generate a unique and modifiable disarm sequence, essentially functioning like a PIN code. This disarm sequence serves as a prerequisite for starting and driving your car, effectively integrating a vehicle immobilizer feature into the overall security framework and offering an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access and theft.

No, there is no way to disarm the vehicle without inputting the password. Our car immobilization systems are designed with advanced security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the safety of your vehicle. We do offer a convenient solution for authorized users in the form of a specially designed key fob. This short-ranged Bluetooth key fob, when paired with the immobilizer, allows the vehicle to recognize its presence when inside. allowing the car to bypass the password set.
From enhanced security to added convenience, our Ghost Immobilizer offers an advanced Two-Way Verification system. This system requires both a specially designed key fob and the correct PIN code for the vehicle to start. The key fob serves a dual purpose: not only can it be used as a bypass for authorized users, but it also plays a critical role in two-way verification.
When the key fob is inside the car, the immobilizer recognizes its presence. However, merely having the key fob inside the vehicle is not enough. You also need to input the correct PIN code. Without both the key fob and the correct PIN, the vehicle will remain immobilized, providing comprehensive security against unauthorized access.
We understand your concern about sharing your password in certain situations. That's why the Ghost Immobilizer offers a convenient solution through its Valet Mode feature.
Valet Mode allows you to bypass the immobilizer without revealing your password. When activated, this mode temporarily disarms the immobilizer system, enabling valet drivers or service personnel to operate your vehicle without needing your password.
The best part is, you have control. Valet Mode can be easily turned on and off at your discretion. Additionally, you can set specific criteria for disabling Valet Mode. For example, you can choose to deactivate Valet Mode after a certain distance range has been traveled or if the vehicle exceeds a set speed limit. These settings can be tailored to your preferences, giving you the flexibility and peace of mind you deserve.

At AutoDefend, we offer advanced engine shutdown systems that integrate seamlessly with your vehicle's existing security features, providing you with enhanced protection and peace of mind.
