CAN–Phantom Immobiliser Installation in Workington and Whitehaven
Vehicle theft continues to rise nationwide, especially with modern keyless entry and relay attack techniques. To protect your vehicle from advanced theft methods, MH Automotive offers expert installation of the powerful and discreet CAN–Phantom Immobiliser across Carlisle, Cumbria and the Lake District.
This cutting-edge security system works silently within your vehicle’s CAN-Bus network, preventing the engine from starting unless a secret driver-authorised sequence is entered. It’s undetectable, untraceable, and impossible for thieves to bypass using traditional methods.
What Is the CAN–Phantom Immobiliser?
The CAN–Phantom Immobiliser is an advanced, aftermarket anti-theft system designed to block engine start-up unless the correct coded sequence is entered using existing vehicle buttons.
Unlike older immobilisers, this system:
- Has no key fobs
- Has no LED indicators
- Leaves no physical trace
- Cannot be detected through diagnostics
- Prevents relay theft, key cloning, OBD hacking, and hot-wiring
It is one of the most sophisticated and reliable immobiliser systems available today.
