What is a ghost immobiliser?
If you're fortunate enough have a Range Rover then it makes sense that you want to safeguard it from theft. Unfortunately, more and more vehicles are becoming hackable and keyless, thieves can steal your pride and joy in a matter of minutes. This is why ghost immobilisers are so vital.
Ghost immobilisers prevent your vehicle from starting without entering a unique pin number. The code is entered by using buttons in the vehicle like those on the steering wheel, centre console or door panels and only you will know this pin number. The unit works by detecting the presence of vibrations and contact with your vehicle, damages or even if someone is trying to break into your car.
The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network and will only start the engine when 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 these modifications. It is also designed to ensure that it cannot be detected by diagnostic tools or hacked via radio signals.
With this in mind, it's imperative that you install your Range Rover ghost installed as soon as possible. The device will not only protect your car from hackers, but also against key duplicates.
Ghost is a next-generation immobiliser that operates without the need to cut wires or add aftermarket key fobs. This unique device connects to the CAN system and uses the factory buttons on your vehicle to create a personalised PIN code sequence that must be entered before the vehicle is able to be driven. This is the most secure protection for your Range Rover from hacking and other modern methods of vehicle theft.
Once you've had your Range Rover Ghost installed it is very simple to use. The system can be disabled and rearmed by using the corresponding iOS and Android apps, or with ghost 2 Bluetooth Tag (sold separately). You can also enable valet mode which allows you to manage your vehicle in accordance with set parameters without needing the PIN code. This is ideal for handing it over to an attendant.
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. The Ghost is different from other immobilisers which require a key fob to operation. It is concealed in your vehicle's wiring and cannot be found without removing it. This makes it a perfect solution to protect yourself from the latest methods of theft, like key cloning or key theft.
The device is connected to the CAN network in your vehicle. It allows you to create an unique PIN code by pushing the buttons on your dash or the steering wheel. The Ghost will not allow your Range Rover to start until you have entered the correct PIN code. This means a thief will need to work for hours to figure out the right combination of buttons to steal your vehicle.
The device can be installed anywhere on your vehicle because it uses the CAN network. The unit doesn't emit any signals, so thieves can't employ sophisticated RF scanning or code-grabbing technology to locate it. A thief can't hear the click of a traditional relay because it communicates directly with the ECU via the data bus.
Finally it should be noted that the Ghost does not include LEDs or key-fobs that give away its presence and it's also sealed, meaning it can't be removed or damaged. It's also small enough to be tucked in the vehicle's harness to ensure it isn't located by a would-be criminal who may try to disable it by cutting wires or cutting off the harness.
The Ghost is a tried and tested method for protecting your Range Rover against key-cloning, key theft and hacking. The Ghost is not a substitute for other defense methods, such as parking the Range Rover in a driveway or garage, if it is possible. This makes it harder for a thief to remove it.
Can a Ghost be hacked?
With Range Rovers consistently featuring in the top 10 most stolen vehicles every year, it is an issue for owners. The keyless entry feature of the vehicle makes it an ideal target for thieves and is a major contributing factor in this number. By employing techniques such as'relay attack' they can take your vehicle from your driveway unnoticed and in seconds.
There are ways to safeguard yourself as well as your pride and joy against these criminals. The most effective method is to install a ghost immobiliser. This cutting-edge device prevents your car from starting until an additional unique code sequence is entered along with your key fob. This is done by pressing buttons on your car, for example those on the steering wheel or on the door panels. You could also use the central console. This will not only protect your vehicle from being copied or stolen through hacking, but also deter thieves from even attempting to steal it in the first place.
Installing a ghost immobiliser in your Range Rover is easy and quiet. It doesn't require wiring. It uses CAN data circuits to communicate with the ECU. It cannot be detected by radio or diagnostic signals.
The most advanced aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser on the market the Autowatch Ghost is Tassa certified and provides the highest level of security to protect your Range Rover from hacking, key cloning and even theft. It will disable all of the functions of your vehicle's key features until the pin code's unique push sequence is entered and this will deactivate the engine, preventing your vehicle from being driven away by thieves even if they have your keys.

Only tools specifically designed for a specific vehicle can be used to bypass an immobiliser from Ghost. These aren't available in the UK. This is why we offer an unconditional money back guarantee for every Ghost installation we carry out in the UK.

Despite being among the most technologically advanced vehicles on the market the Range Rover is still a popular target for thieves. Installing a ghost-immobiliser can help to deter them from your vehicle and ensure that your vehicle is safe at all times. The system is discrete and inaccessible to thieves since it doesn't emit any signal, unlike other systems which use LED indications or key-fobs. It makes use of buttons on the dashboard, steering wheel, and doors to create an individual code that has to be entered in order for the vehicle to begin. Here's how it works:
The ghost immobiliser is made by Autowatch and installed in your vehicle by Eurotec Motors. It prevents it from starting until a certain sequence of buttons is pressed. This unique sequence is only recognized by you and is able to be changed at any time. This means that if your vehicle is stolen, the thief cannot start it because they aren't aware of the code. The system is also able to integrate with trackers and alarms from outside (Brand dependant). This will add an extra layer of security to your vehicle, as the immobiliser will take priority over the signals from these external devices.
Once installed, you can arm and disarm your Ghost using the app for smart phones that comes with it or a bluetooth tag (Sold separately). You can arm your vehicle using these tags without needing to remember your PIN. You can also put the device into transport mode, which is great when you drop your car off at valet parking or a garage. This will turn off any alerts for theft that are automatically generated and protect your vehicle while it is being transported.
