Understanding Ghost Immobilisers for Porsche | GVE London – Blog

One of the most prestigious supercar brands, Porsche, always stays in high demand among car enthusiasts. However, being an expensive and high-value vehicle, it is also a prime target for thieves. 911 Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, Boxster, etc. are some models regularly being stolen using technologies like key cloning.

Door lock picking and key cloning allow criminals to steal Porsches without the original keys. The SmarTrack Immobiliser is a renowned security device for your vehicle offering protection against hacking, key cloning, and car theft. In this post, we’ll read about SmarTrack Immobilisers and how they protect your Porsche.

What is a Porsche SmarTrack Immobiliser?

The SmarTrack 5+ Immobiliser is the latest generation of immobilisation devices to protect your Porsche from key cloning and theft. It utilises the car’s factory buttons to create a unique PIN code sequence that protects your vehicle from the latest technologies used by thieves. Most other devices just offer vehicle tracking but this blocks the engine from starting.

Apart from immobilisation, it also enhances your vehicle’s security as it won’t allow your Porsche to start until the correct key fob or key is present. The SmarTrack Immobiliser has systems to prevent device spoofing, signal jamming, and more which standard immobilisers don’t have. Even if a thief enters your Porsche, he won’t be able to start and drive it away.

How Does the SmarTrack Immobiliser Work?

Unlike most other standard immobilisers, the SmarTrack Immobiliser doesn’t use key fobs or LED indications. It works with GPS/GLONASS, GPRS, and GSM technology. Every time the car’s ignition is turned off, the immobilisation system kicks in and the Driver Detection card is used to disarm it.

The device can continue to function even if the vehicle’s power supply is disconnected thanks to its inbuilt battery backup. The gadget also keeps an eye on the battery voltage, and the ignition state, and uses a driver identification system to determine whether the right person is operating the car.
