Important tips

The ghost immobilizing system is greatly affected by phone service. It depends on the phone service providers and manufacturers (apple and android) so when you are using the ghost, the phone service BlueTooth update might interrupt the functions of the immobilizer.

Sometimes when a major update in the IOS or android is released, that causes such interruptions in the ghost system.

These problems are later fixed but for your own safety, try to use the app as less as possible and do not make it the primary operating method for your ghost device.

You should always remember the disarm sequence and always have access to the emergency code.
