What is a Ghost Immobiliser?
If you're fortunate enough to have a Range Rover, it's only natural that you would want to safeguard it from theft. As more and more vehicles become keyless and hackable, thieves could steal your pride and joy in a matter of seconds. This is why a ghost immobiliser is essential.
Ghost immobilisers are device that prevents your vehicle from starting unless the pin number is entered. The code is entered through buttons on the vehicle such as those on the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels. only you will be able to identify the pin code. The device detects vibrations or contact, damage or even attempts to break into your vehicle.
The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN data network, and will only start the engine if the correct pin is entered. This means that a burglar can't just add a key or replace the ECU because it won't recognise these modifications. It is also designed in a manner that it cannot be detected by diagnostic tools and cannot be hacked through radio signals.
It is important that you install your Range Rover Ghost as soon as you are able. The device will not only combat hacking but will also help protect your car against key hacking, signal jamming and vehicle spoofing.
Ghost is a new generation immobiliser that operates without the need to cut wires or purchase aftermarket key fobs. The unique device is connected to the CAN system, and uses factory buttons in your vehicle to generate a personalised PIN code push sequence that needs to be entered before the vehicle can be driven. This is the ultimate security 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 easy to use. The system can be de-armed and rearmed with the specialized iOS and Android apps, or with a ghost 2 Bluetooth Tag (sold separately). You can also turn on valet mode, which allows you to manage your vehicle according to set parameters without the need for a PIN code. This is perfect to hand it over to an attendant.
Protection from Key Cloning and Key Theft
The Ghost is the next-generation immobiliser that safeguards 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 within the wiring of your vehicle so that it won't be noticed by a thief without dismantling the vehicle. This makes it an ideal solution to avoid modern methods of theft like key cloning or key theft.
The device connects to the CAN network inside your car and allows you to create an unique PIN code by pressing the buttons on your dash and steering wheel. When you enter this PIN code and press the button, the Ghost will block your Range Rover from starting unless it receives the correct sequence of PIN. A thief will have to spend hours trying to find the correct combination of buttons to rob your vehicle.
The device can be placed in any part of your vehicle because it uses the CAN network. The thief is not able to use sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing technology to detect the unit because it doesn't transmit any signals similar to traditional security systems. A thief can't hear the sound of a traditional relay since it communicates directly with the ECU through the data bus.
The Ghost is also sealed, meaning it can't be damaged or removed. It's also small enough to fit inside the vehicle harness, so that it's not easily discovered by a criminal who might try to disable it by cutting wires or cutting the harness.
The Ghost is a viable solution to protect your Range Rover from key-cloning and key theft. The Ghost is not a replacement for other methods of defence, such as parking the Range Rover in a driveway or garage, if it is possible. This makes it more difficult for thieves to steal it.

Service Mode
The Range Rover is a popular target even though it's one of the most technologically advanced vehicles on the market. Installing a ghost-immobiliser will help deter them from your vehicle and ensure that your vehicle is safe all the time. The system is discrete and is not noticeable to thieves as it emits no signal. This is different from other systems that use LED indicators or key-fobs. Instead, it uses buttons on your steering wheel, door and dashboard to generate an individual sequence that has to be entered before the vehicle can start. This is how it operates:
Made by Autowatch and installed by Eurotec Motors, the ghost immobiliser system prevents your vehicle from starting until the specified sequence of buttons is activated. This unique sequence is only known by you and can be altered at any time. This means that even if the car is stolen, a burglar is unable to start it because they do not know the code. The system is also able to work with external alarms and trackers (Brand dependent). This will add an extra layer of security for your vehicle as the immobiliser will be in priority over the signals from these devices.
Once installed you can easily arm and disarm your Ghost using the accompanying smart-phone app or a bluetooth tag (Sold separately). These allow you to arm your car without needing to remember your PIN. You can also set the device into transport mode to take your vehicle to a garage. This will disable any alerts for theft that are automatically generated and ensure your vehicle is secure while it is being transported.
