Ghost Immobiliser Review
As car theft rises consumers are constantly searching for ways to prevent it. Ghost immobilisers do exactly that.
It's the first aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser, which protects your vehicle from hacking, key cloning or keyless entry, and keeps thieves from taking your vehicle.
No Faraday Bags or Radio Signals
In contrast to other physical anti-theft devices like wheel locks or steering wheel clamps, ghost immobilisers are designed to be covert and unnoticeable. Integrated into the vehicle's buttons they protect against key cloning, car hacking, ECU swapping, and even key theft. Ghost immobilisers stop the engine from starting until you enter a PIN code along with your key fob. The PIN code can be up to 20 presses long and is modified by the driver through an app or buttons on the vehicle. If you forget your pin an item breaks, or if you sell your vehicle, you can use an emergency PIN that is unique to each device to reset the system.
As an added bonus Ghost immobilisers aren't detected by diagnostic tools and don't emit any radio frequency signals so thieves cannot utilize sophisticated RF scanning technology to detect the presence of a security device. They also utilize CAN data network, which doesn't require cutting wires to install and is quieter.
Ghost immobilisers might not be Thatcham approved, but they are TASSA-approved. Certain insurers will offer lower rates for insurance to vehicles equipped with an aftermarket immobiliser. However, car ghost immobiliser are recognized as an additional security measure that can deter thieves.

The device functions by connecting up to your vehicles CAN (Control Area Network) system and it will allow you to enter an individual PIN code push sequence you choose - which can be as long as 20 digits long. This must be entered prior to when your Range Rover or Land Rover J will start. This is similar to the way you enter the pin code to protect your credit card.
