Modern vehicles are packed with convenience features like keyless entry and push-to-start ignitions. While these systems were designed to make life easier, they’ve unintentionally made cars easier to steal—often in under 60 seconds.
Here’s why, and what you can do to protect your car from today’s high-tech thieves.
The Dark Side of Keyless Convenience
With just a cheap device, criminals can intercept or replicate your key signal, tricking your car into thinking the key is present. The result? Your car can be unlocked and driven away—all without ever touching your actual keys.
The Myths: Why RF Bags and OBD Port Blockers Aren’t Enough
There’s a common misconception that RF (Faraday) pouches or OBD port blockers are enough to stop thieves. While each offers some level of protection, they aren’t foolproof—especially if:
- Thieves get hold of your actual keys
- They use signal sniffing or cloning devices
- They reprogram new keys using advanced tools
Using both tools together is better than nothing, but it still won’t stop a determined thief.
Real Stories, Real Risks
We’ve heard some shocking stories from our customers:
- One client discovered their vehicle listed on a targeted theft forum.
- Another had a tracker planted on their car, and it was stolen in the middle of the night.
- Most alarming of all, a customer brought in their VF Commodore to install a Ghost Immobiliser—after it was stolen and recovered following a shooting.
Let’s be honest—would you even want that car back? (That’s probably a topic for another blog.)
The Solution: Ghost Immobiliser – Total Vehicle Protection
The good news is, there’s a reliable, advanced solution: the Ghost Immobiliser.
This revolutionary anti-theft system completely blocks thieves, even if:
- They perform a relay attack
- They gain access to your original key
- They attempt to program a new key
With the Ghost system installed, your car won’t start without the unique disarm code—even if the thief has everything else.
