If you're lucky enough to own a Range Rover, it's only natural to want to protect it against theft. Unfortunately, as more vehicles are becoming keyless and hackable thieves can take your joy and pride away in a matter of minutes. This is why ghost immobilisers are important.
A ghost immobiliser is a device that prevents your vehicle from starting unless a unique pin code is entered. The code can be entered by pressing buttons on the vehicle, like those on the steering wheel or center console. Only you can be able to recognize the pin. The unit works by detecting the presence of vibrations, contact with your vehicle, damages or even when 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 if the correct pin is entered. This means that a burglar can't just add a key or replace the ECU since it will not recognize these modifications. It is also designed so that it cannot be detected by diagnostic tools and can't be hacked by radio signals.

Ghost is the latest generation of immobiliser. It operates without cutting wires or putting in key fobs that are aftermarket.

A burglar cannot employ sophisticated RF scanning, code-grabbing or other technology to detect the unit because it doesn't send out any signals like conventional security systems. A thief can't hear the click of a conventional relay because it communicates directly with the ECU via the data bus.
In addition it should be noted that the Ghost does not have any LEDs or key-fobs that signal its presence. Additionally, it's also sealed so it isn't able to be removed or damaged. It's also small enough to be tucked inside the vehicle harness, so that it's not easily detected by a potential criminal who may try to disable it by cutting wires or cutting the harness.
