What is a ghost immobiliser?
If you're fortunate enough to own a Range Rover, it's only normal to secure it from theft. As more vehicles become keyless and hackable, thieves can steal your pride and joy in seconds. This is why ghost immobilisers are so important.
A ghost immobiliser prevents your vehicle from starting unless you enter a unique pin number. The code can be entered by pressing buttons on the vehicle, like the ones on the steering wheel or on the centre console. Only you will be able to identify the pin number. The unit detects vibrations or contact, damage or even attempts to break into your vehicle.
The device is then connected to the vehicle's CAN data network. It will only allow the engine to start when the correct pin code is entered. This means that thieves can't simply insert another key or replace the ECU as it will not recognize these changes. It is also designed so that it can't be detected by diagnostic tools, and it cannot be hacked through radio signals.
With this in mind, it's important to get your Range Rover ghost installed as quickly as you can. The device will not only fight hacking, but also help protect your car against key replication, signal jamming, and vehicle fraud.

Key Cloning and Key Theft Protection
