What is a ghost immobiliser?
If you're fortunate enough have a Range Rover then it makes sense to safeguard it from theft. Unfortunately, more and more vehicles are becoming keyless and hackable thieves can take your pride and joy away in a matter of minutes. This is why ghost immobilisers are so important.
Ghost immobilisers are device that stops your vehicle from starting until the pin number is entered. This code can be entered by pressing buttons on the vehicle, like the ones on the steering wheel or on the centre console. Only you can know the pin number. The device detects vibrations, contact, damage, or even attempts to gain entry into your vehicle.
The device is connected to the CAN data network of the vehicle and will only begin the engine if the proper pin is entered. This means that a burglar is unable to simply insert a key and replace the ECU because it won't recognise the modifications. It is also designed to ensure that it is not detected by diagnostic tools or hacked using radio signals.
With this in mind, it's imperative that you install your Range Rover ghost installed as quickly as you can. The device will not just secure your car from hackers but also from key cloning.
Ghost is a next-generation immobiliser that operates without the need to cut wires or purchase aftermarket key fobs. This unique device connects to the CAN system and utilizes the factory buttons of your vehicle to create an individual PIN code push sequence that must be entered before the vehicle can be driven. This is the best protection for your Range Rover from hacking and other modern methods of vehicle theft.
Once you've got your Range Rover Ghost installed it is extremely simple to use. The system can be disabled and armed using the dedicated iOS and Android apps or ghost 2 Bluetooth Tag (sold separately). You can also activate valet mode that allows you to control your vehicle according to pre-set parameters without needing the PIN code. This is great for handing it over to an attendant.
Key Cloning and Key Theft Protection
The Ghost is the latest generation of immobilisers that guard your Range Rover against modern car thieves. As opposed to other immobilisers which require an additional key fob in order to operate, the Ghost is hidden in the wiring of your vehicle, so it can't be detected by thieves without removing the vehicle. This makes it an ideal option to prevent the latest methods of theft, like key cloning, or key theft.
The device connects to the CAN data network inside your vehicle, allowing you to create a unique PIN that you can push using buttons already in your vehicle, such as the steering wheel and dash. When you enter this code, the Ghost will block your Range Rover from starting unless it is able to receive the correct sequence of PIN. This means a thief will be forced to wait for hours to figure out the right combination of buttons to steal your vehicle.
The device can be installed anywhere in your vehicle because it uses the CAN network. The thief is not able to use sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology to identify the device since it does not send out any signals similar to traditional security systems. A thief can't hear the click of a traditional relay because it communicates directly with the ECU through the data bus.
The Ghost is also sealed, meaning it isn't able to be damaged or removed. It's also small enough to be tucked into the vehicle harness so it can't easily be detected by a potential criminal who might attempt to disable it by cutting wires or cutting the harness.
The Ghost is an established and tried-and-tested solution to protect your Range Rover against key-cloning, key theft and hacking. The Ghost is not a substitute for other defence methods like parking the Range Rover in a driveway or garage if you can. This makes it more difficult for a criminal to take it.
Can Ghosts Be Hacked?
It can be alarming for owners to see their Range Rovers appear in the top 10 most-stolen vehicles every year. The keyless entry feature of the vehicle makes it a perfect target for thieves and is a major to this figure. They can steal your car in a matter of minutes using techniques like'relay attacks'.
However, there are ways to shield your car from these criminals and the most effective way is to install an immobiliser that is ghost-like. This cutting-edge device stops your car from starting until an additional code sequence is entered with your key fob. This is accomplished pressing buttons on your car, such as those found on the steering wheel or door panels. You can also use the center console. This will not only protect your vehicle from being copied or stolen by hackers, but will also discourage thieves from trying to steal it in the first place.
A ghost immobiliser can be fitted discreetly into your Range Rover without any wiring required and works in a totally silent way. It uses CAN data circuits to communicate with the ECU. It cannot be detected by diagnostics or radio signals.
The most advanced aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser on the market, the Autowatch Ghost is Tassa approved and offers the highest level of security to protect your Range Rover from hacking, key cloning, and even key theft. It will shut down the functions of your vehicle's key until the unique pin code is entered. This will deactivate the engine and protect your vehicle from being driven by thieves, even if they possess your keys.
