It also is resistant to jamming devices which are a typical technique that car thieves use to get around immobilisers.

The benefit of using CAN data is that it operates silently compared to traditional systems. It can't be detected by sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technologies and is also unrecognizable by conventional diagnostic tools. The Autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser fitting near me doesn't use LED indicators, but instead uses buttons in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel, centre console, or doors, to create a unique disarming sequence.

Contrary to physical anti-theft devices such as clamps or wheel locks, Ghost is covertly integrated into the vehicle, so it cannot be removed or disabled by thieves. It is more difficult to remove from a car alarm which requires disarming using a button sequence.
