The Ghost Scanner approach

Keep the display on your phone.

Ghost Scanner makes use of the screen you already carry. Its phone interface combines alerts, activity history and tracker scanning, with six colour themes to choose from.

The device is portable, so you can move it between vehicles. At £699 with no subscription, it offers a different purchasing option for drivers who do not want a dedicated fitted display.

Choose the setup that suits you

Price is only part of the decision. Consider whether you want a permanent vehicle installation or a portable device, which display you prefer, and whether tracker scanning is useful to you. Ask each supplier about compatibility and the full cost of your intended setup.
