What is a Ghost Immobiliser?
If you're fortunate enough to have a Range Rover then it makes sense that you want to safeguard it from theft. As more vehicles become keyless and hackable, thieves could take your joy and pride in a matter of seconds. This is why ghost immobilisers are vital.
A ghost immobiliser is a device that prevents your vehicle from starting unless an unique pin code is entered. The code is entered through buttons on the vehicle, such as those on the steering wheel, the centre console or door panels and only you can identify this pin number. The unit detects any vibrations, contact, damage, or even attempts to break into your vehicle.
The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and will only begin the engine when the proper pin is entered. This means that a burglar can't just add a key or replace the ECU since it will not recognize the modifications. It's also designed so that it is not detectable by diagnostic tools and cannot be hacked by radio signals.
It is crucial to install your Range Rover Ghost as soon as possible. The device will not only protect your car from hackers but also from key cloning.
Ghost is the next-generation immobiliser. It operates without cutting wires or putting in key fobs that are aftermarket. This unique device connects to the CAN system and uses the factory buttons of your vehicle to generate an individual PIN code push sequence that needs to be entered before the vehicle can be driven. This is the most secure measure for your Range Rover against hacking and other modern-day vehicle theft methods.
Once your Range Rover Ghost is installed it's incredibly simple to use. The system can be disarmed and armed using the dedicated iOS and Android apps or a ghost 2 Bluetooth Tag (sold separately).

When you enter this code in the Ghost, the Ghost will stop your Range Rover from starting unless it receives the correct PIN sequence. The thief will need to spend hours figuring out a sequence of button presses to gain access to your vehicle and take it.
The device can be installed anywhere on your vehicle since it utilizes the CAN network. A thief cannot use sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology to identify the device since it doesn't transmit any signals similar to traditional security systems. A thief cannot hear the click of a conventional relay since it communicates directly with the ECU via the data bus.
Finally, the Ghost does not include key-fobs or LED indicators to signal its presence. Additionally, it's also sealed, meaning it isn't able to be removed or damaged. It's also small enough to be tucked inside the vehicle harness, so it can't easily be detected by a potential criminal who would try to disable it by cutting wires or cutting off the harness.
The Ghost is a tried and tested method to protect your Range Rover against key-cloning, key theft and hacking. The Ghost is not a substitute for other defence methods for example, parking the Range Rover in a driveway or garage, if it is possible. This makes it more difficult for a thief to remove it.
