The device functions by connecting to your vehicle's CAN (Control Area Network) system and creating a unique PIN code push sequence you decide on - which can be as long as 20 digits long. This must be entered before your Range Rover or Land Rover J will begin. This is similar to the way you enter a pin code on your bank card to secure it. It's also not affected by the process of cloning, or ECU swapping that would normally disable the factory immobiliser.

The tag lets you start your vehicle without entering your PIN or the Ghost app.

Simple PIN Code Change Process
Unlike key fobs which require a code to unlock the ECU and start your vehicle ghost immobilisers communicate with the vehicle's ECU through its own CAN data network. They are therefore unnoticeable, silent and are not hacked by diagnostic tools. Additionally, the technology of these systems ensures that they can be incorporated into a broad variety of vehicles, including trucks, motorhomes and plant machinery.
Our Autowatch Ghost system has been developed to provide complete protection against theft. It will stop your vehicle from being started until you have either the unique PIN or the smartphone application with the ghost app downloaded on it. This is an extremely secure level of security that can protect your vehicle from key cloning, hacking and ECU swapping.
It is so safe because it does not require any extra components like key fobs or LED indicators. Instead, the device uses your existing buttons on your steering wheel and door panels to generate an adjustable sequence that needs to be entered prior to the time your vehicle can start. It can take as long as 20 steps and works similarly to the PIN code of a credit card.
The device is completely concealed, so that thieves are unable to locate it. It also does not use radio waves and operates on the CAN network, which makes it virtually inaccessible to thieves using scanners with RF.
A lot of car thieves will try and remove the CAN chip from the ECU or even replace it to hide it, however this can only be carried out by experts who have access to specialist equipment. This is the reason why the ghost immobiliser is effective and can be used to protect your vehicle from various kinds of vehicle thefts.
It can also be paired with an iPhone, which you will need if you wish to start your car once it is in a garage at home or at work. This allows you to access your car and drive without the need for a PIN code as the app will detect your phone if it is within close proximity. This functionality is available for any version of Autowatch Ghost, and you can pair as many smartphones with it as you like.
