What is a ghost immobiliser?

If you're lucky enough to have a Range Rover then it makes sense that you want to secure it from theft. Unfortunately, as more and more vehicles are becoming hackable and keyless, thieves are able to take your joy and pride away in a matter of minutes. This is why ghost immobilisers are so crucial.

Ghost immobilisers prevent your vehicle from starting without entering an individual pin code. This code is entered via buttons within the vehicle, such as those on the steering wheel, centre console or door panels and only you can identify this pin number. The unit detects the vibrations or contact with your vehicle, damages or even the possibility of someone trying to gain entry into your vehicle.

The device is then connected to the vehicle's CAN data network. It will only allow the engine to begin if the correct pin code is entered. This means that a burglar is unable to simply insert a key and replace the ECU since it will not recognize the modifications. It is also designed so that it cannot be detected by diagnostic tools and cannot be hacked through radio signals.

It is essential to install your Range Rover Ghost as soon as possible. The device will not only combat hacking but will also help defend your car from key replication, signal jamming, and vehicle spoofing.

Ghost is the next generation immobiliser. It works without cutting wires or adding aftermarket key fobs. The unique device is connected to the CAN system, and uses factory buttons to create a push-sequence for a PIN code that must be entered to drive the vehicle. This is the most secure protection for your Range Rover from hacking and other methods of modern-day vehicle theft.

Once your Range Rover Ghost is installed, it's very easy to use. The system can be arm and disarmed by using our exclusive iOS and Android app or by using a ghost 2 Bluetooth tag (sold separately). It is also possible to enable valet mode, which allows you to operate your vehicle according to specific parameters but doesn't require a PIN code which makes it ideal for handing over to a valet service.

Key Cloning and Key Theft Protection

The Ghost is an immobiliser of the future that is designed to shield your Range Rover from modern car thieves. In contrast to other immobilisers that require an additional key fob in order to operate, the Ghost is hidden in your vehicle's wiring so it can't be detected by thieves without removing the vehicle. This makes it the perfect option to prevent modern methods of theft such as key cloning or key theft.

The device connects to the CAN data network in your vehicle and allowing you to create a unique PIN code that you can push using buttons that are already present in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel and dash. When you enter this PIN code in the Ghost, the Ghost will block your Range Rover from starting unless it is able to receive the correct PIN sequence. The thief would have to spend hours figuring out a sequence of button presses in order to gain access into your vehicle and steal it.

The device can be installed anywhere on your vehicle due to the CAN network. A thief cannot use sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing or other technology to locate the device because it doesn't send out any signals similar to traditional security systems. In addition, because it communicates with the ECU via the data bus to immobilise your vehicle, a thief is unable to detect the distinct clicking of a traditional immobiliser relay.

The Ghost is also sealed, so it can't be removed or damaged. It is small enough to be able to wrap inside the vehicle harness to ensure that it is not easily located by criminals who may try to disable it through cutting wires or taking away the harness.

The Ghost is a reliable solution to safeguard your Range Rover from key-cloning and key theft. It's still not a replacement for other methods of defence, such as putting your Range Rover in a garage or driveway where possible so that a thief will struggle to take it off of the drive and away.

Can Ghosts be hacked?

There are ways to protect your family and your family from these criminals. The most effective way is to install an immobiliser ghost. This modern device prevents the car from starting until a particular code is entered with your key fob. It does this by using buttons on your car such as those on the steering wheel or door panels, or on the centre consoles to allow you to create a disarm sequence (like a pin code) that must be entered before the car will start and drive away. This will not only stop your vehicle from being copied by hackers, but also stop thieves from attempting to steal it in the first instance.

Installing a ghost immobiliser into your Range Rover is easy and quiet. No wiring is required. It utilizes CAN data circuits to communicate with the ECU. It is not detected by radio or diagnostic signals.
