Watching this makes me grateful that I live in Dubai & can literally keep my car unlocked & it won't get stolen. Nice video though, thanks for sharing.
My mum ( she has a C3) and in Asda car park she’s had signals blocking her key from working. It’s scary how easy it is to block a signal. This is insane and what a system! This is so cool, and perfect to keep your prized possessions safe. Good to see you boys back!
You would think spending 100k plus on a range rover, that the manufacturer would team up with pandora and offer this as part of their standard package. I can't imagine how many customers they are now losing because of car theft
Great video Tom & James. Car theft now extremely bad. Thieves are easily getting around how the vehicles are sold, with OEM security devices. Extra security devices, such as what Pandora offer, are now an essential requirement. Considering how much a decent prestige / sports car costs nowadays, and the wait time between ordering it, and delivery, not much fun when your vehicle gets stolen… 🤷🏻♂️
Easiest solution is create an battery dead switch... Maybe take an extra minute when you want to drive off, but have the kill switch in a location that no one can get to... Sounds like a pain, but its worth the extra minute to NEVER having your car stolen...
Just a huge tip for any fellow Range Rover owner, or actually any car at all. Get a STEERING LOCK on, there’s a few good ones, it’s not a job taking them on and off you’ll soon get used to it. Obviously still have these immobiliser tracker systems etc, but a good old mechanical form of security that’s extremely visible makes them think twice, bastards they are making everyone’s insurance sky rocket.
Very informative and interesting video Tom,fair play both for bringing this topic up ,some scum bag tried to steal my cayenne without success,about time the police made car crime a priority and locked these organised gangs up for good !.👍🏻
Hey everyone! 👋 If you've ever wondered why there's been a spike in Range Rover thefts lately, let's dive into it! 🚗💨 One reason is that these sweet rides are loaded with cool tech, which unfortunately makes them tempting targets for tech-savvy thieves. Plus, the demand for Range Rover parts is crazy high on the not-so-legal market. To keep your own Range Rover safe and sound, think about beefing up your security game. You can go for nifty anti-theft systems, try out eye-catching steering wheel locks, and always pick well-lit spots for parking. And hey, keep those keys safe - a snug spot at home and away from windows works like a charm. Remember, no plan is 100% thief-proof, but mixing and matching these tips could seriously make those thieves think twice before messing with your wheels. Stay savvy and keep that Range Rover protected! 🛡🚙😎
Every car made at least in the 5/7 years are able to be stolen electronically, with the right gear available online for under 500 Quid/dollars. All WITHOUT any damage done to the vehicle. Pandora IS a very cool system. BUT, there is always a but, ALL systems need to be continually updated at least yearly, 6monthly optimally. My own car is a 26 year old VR Commodore, a good old Aussie easy to steal beater that's done 210,000km
Guys, here is a very affordable, visual deterrent that will prevent any thief from attempting to steal your car. Place an industrial strength, bright Yellow, Wheel clamp on the front off-side wheel. I keep my clam behind teh drivers seat in a box in the foot well. Yes, it takes a little time to put the clamp on the wheel and take it off again but it's a small sacrifice to make for the peace of mind knowing the good old fashion way is still one of the best and most effective deterrents in my opinion.
Great video, really useful, I honestly thought Ghost was the best, I can now see how the multiple layers that Pandora offer make a difference. Thank you!
they Key you have is NOT susceptible to relay theft ..it uses UWB unlike the old 2018 keys .... the latest development of JLRs keys with Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) protection should further counter these hi-tech attacks, where criminals intercept signals between the vehicle and key to unlock the car. 'Vehicles are not vulnerable to that method when equipped with this technology, which also mitigates the requirement to store keys in a faraday pouch,' the vehicle manufacturer states. If you have the old style key I would suggest disabling keyless entry ..(sit in car & press headlight button on key fob 3 times and unlock button once )
Had mine fitted 2 years ago and was and was thinking maybe I overspent. Last sat my car would have been gone with out my pandora alarm . He got access but have no tag the car phoned me and told me someone had gained access soon as the alarm went off he ran . But I bet a part of him thought he had my car stolen. He gained access by removing my radar and the front of the car
It would be better if they put the robbers in Prison for 10 years no court , your caught jail period ! That would stop them, a weak system breeds robbers . they know nothing happens but a slap on the wrist.
Ask Pandora if they will put their system up for a proper test live for everyone to see. They won't. It was beaten on TV before. Ghost is poor. Pandora is average
Couple of inaccuracies here. Faraday pouches don’t “wear out”, and you can disable keyless entry. Great video but feels very much like a sales video rather than impartial information I’m afraid….
I think keyless entry should be disabled or banned from being manufactured, why can't people just go back to using a remote and simply push a button but thats my opinion.
To stop a “relay” attack simply turn off the passive key feature in the vehicle settings. Then use the remote fob in the normal way ie press the open or close button. No PKE then no relay attack.
@@Docfroid turning off PKE for the remote unlock / lock for the car doesn’t stop its function to start the vehicle. It just disables the ability for someone to carry out the relay attack in order to open it without the alarm activation
I know someone whos range rover was nicked despite the factory alarm,immobiliser and them going out and getting a ghost so i agree. Its not enough. And why is it always the JLR. Also reliability also seems to be JLR . NOT HATING I ADORE THE RANGE ROVER PARTICULARLY THE NEW ONE But i will champion protect your car.
Unfortunately people need to be aware that as security improves it will force criminals to break into premises to obtain the physical key . This poses a further danger to the owners particular JLR owners
Great video, very impressed. Can i ask how are you finding the system in practice now? Any issues? Battery life of the fob or tag last for how long? Thanks
Great video! Heard about Pandora a few years back. So when I upgraded my car last year there was only one place it was going. Ps remote start is bliss👌
Because so many are stolen I got a quote on a V8 70 reg today, 28/07/23, of £9550 for fully comp on a comparison site, and only 2 quotes on that site instead of the usual 40 plus
Cost……plus subscription?…..on top of extortionate insurance premiums! The whole car security issue needs to be looked into at a senior government issue! I would also point out that a large number of cars stolen are being ‘lifted’ so no matter what anti theft system you have on your vehicle it can still be stolen!
Nice video But you did mention they break in find the ghost or other devices and steal your vehicle Any Antitheft system is as good as the installation All security systems should never be installed in the same location Thrives know it
Nice video. I had a discussion without a Pandora expert in my country about Pandora Smart pro v3 and a asked him to install remote start module too. When I said that he told it is a bit dangerous to because he had to install an extra key inside car which is something that thieves could take advantage of this and eventually the could steal the car. Guys now i ask you if that Is true?
I still dont see how the car can be stolen with a Ghost fitted. Without the code it can only be stolen if towed and even then they cant go anywhere in it. You say that they generally know where the Ghost is installed but no way they are going to have the time to take these out.
They are trying to sell a pandora and telling you a guy's car was stolen whilst having a coffee with a ghost on it 😂 . If that happened then it wasn't fitted correctly by authorised installers or the guy paid them to steal it and gave the pin 😂😂
It all sounds great, but what does it cost??? I can't be ass'd to go through the sales cycle to find out.... If some had the time please let me know...
Quality video gents. I’ve had ghost forever & it’s saved a few cars but have just had to get out of SVR as I couldn’t insure it at all in the midlands. Hoping the Pandora gets insurance accredited soon so we can see some benefit as the owners and keep owning the cars we work hard to buy 👍🏻
Pandora’s been Thatcham Cat 1 certified for a while! When I worked there I looked into other insurance certificates but they were pretty much just pay to win, making a certification around the product rather than minimum standards of immobilisation and time to bypass. I’m sure more certs will be added if Pandora sees any benefit
Is there any info to describe what is the rate of deceleration when the remote shut off it initiated? I assume the ABS modulator isn't used, only engine power is cut.
That guy was gabbling, I could hardly understand a word he was saying. Find someone who speaks clear English next time. Hes like someone off a comedy show 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tbf all the new car security is made in Russia, including Ghost (igla) and Starline. Things like Cliffords are owned by a US company now, but they don’t offer the same level of features because they have a monopoly on the market over there and there’s no competitive need to update
@@matthobbis1358 Not all car security is made there. The product I've been installing for over 30 years is developed and manufactured in Italy and there are a number other manufactures in Italy also .
@@anthonywilkinson556 I’ve heard of the likes of Patrolline from Italy, but I personally haven’t seen any advanced systems come from anywhere other than Russia Idk, I’m not worried about where it comes from unless I start buying tanks
@TGE Sadly that's not true. The reality is the car manufacturer could simply say that the warranty was voided by you cutting wires etc, and the only option you'd have would be to start a costly and lengthy legal battle. I'm in the market for additional security for my car, currently I use a dislok at night time and enable valet mode on the car. Valet mode is a factory feature in my car, it transmits the car's location to my phone, has to be unlocked by pin on the car's touchscreen before starting the car. Thieves can, and I've seen pictures of them do it, cut through the plastic at the bottom of the dash and cut the wires to the modem, thus disengaging valet mode. I've also hidden a samsumg smart tag in my car. In 30 years of car ownership I've never had a car theft attempt, until I bought my current car new 2 years ago. I had two failed attempts to get my car keys within three weeks of each other shortly after getting the car. Not fun. I'm interested in adding more security, but it has to be something that does not cut into the manufacturer wiring as I don't want any opportunity for the manufacturer to try wriggle out of any future warranty issues. Also I'd like to add security that doesn't make it hassle to start the car everytime when I'm out and about, popping in and out of the car.
Just get a CAN Phantom security device which is very good value fitted and works easily. It is used by lots of people with high value cars, especially Range Rovers and Rolls Royces, and used by a lot of celebrities. Even if you give somebody your key, they cannot start the car until a code of various buttons have been pressed in order, up to 22. This sits along other security devices. Steven, who owns the company is a brilliant guy.

Nice video though, thanks for sharing.
Can we hire JE to stand by our cars for added protection?
My mum ( she has a C3) and in Asda car park she’s had signals blocking her key from working. It’s scary how easy it is to block a signal. This is insane and what a system! This is so cool, and perfect to keep your prized possessions safe. Good to see you boys back!
Lol doubt anyone was trying to steal her C3.
Does Pandora detect if anyone is using a wedge to force a gap in the door to frame of car to commit a serious crime?
Companies shud make the steering wheel removable and gear stick
such a shame that people work so hard for amazing prestige vehicles and still have to add extra coin to make it safe, great content boys 👌🏼
load of rubbish you cant steal a car with ghost 2 and you cant hack into obd port to reprogram a new key as it wont work with ghost 2
Shame manufacturers can’t develop this as standard
With new cars having lots of cameras why can't facial recognition be used as a security feature?
Will it work at night while a burglar wears a ski mask 🤔🙄🙄
7.5 minutes in, they haven’t said anything yet. They’ve been talking nonstop! Wtf!
You would think spending 100k plus on a range rover, that the manufacturer would team up with pandora and offer this as part of their standard package. I can't imagine how many customers they are now losing because of car theft
You are being far too sensible and logical…..
Great video Tom & James.
Car theft now extremely bad.
Thieves are easily getting around how the vehicles are sold, with OEM security devices.

Sad to hear ghosts are being bypassed but glad theres a system in place to protect!
I blame the lazy installers, most place the ghost on the wiring loom under the steering column. Its the first place a thief looks and removes it.
@@jahidk123 I wouldn't call that lazy installing, thats just where they're being advised by the manufacturer to fit it.

Soon we'll be having 2 factor authentication to start the car. Can imagine Mercedes finger print readers being a good example lol

Glad it was helpful!
Ghost installers are to blame...
they need to sort this out or prices of LR will drop like stones, even if its not stolen they will make a mess of them.
JLR should be paying compensation to victims of theft due to their flawed security systems.

If they damage the interior to the extent that the car is deemed a total loss, you don't need anything else.
You know you can disable all keyless functions. Not as good as this of course but it’s free and takes about 5 clicks on the key fob.
4 clicks
Good stuff - no fluff 😂 ..
Ask Pandora if they will put their system up for a proper test live for everyone to see. They won't. It was beaten on TV before. Ghost is poor. Pandora is average
Very cool story
Thats a no then
JLR won’t even insure their own cars 👀
Thanks 4 sharing the intel. Q????… How much is it for this fully protected package????
Really puts me off from bothering to buy "nice" cars. So annoying

Shots fired at Ghost Immobiliser!!!!
Not really. Just speaking the truth

Why not just disable the keyless option ion your keys ?
Great video. What does this do to your insurance? Is your premium still crazy?

Get in touch with Pandora mate!
fit a cheap £5 switch on the starter runs rhe wires to the boot and hide the switch car wont start tgill you flick the switch
you look like Michael Fassbender who plays Stelios in 300 and the other one looks like Brad Pitt anyways great video guys keep it up thanks
I am sure this is good, but after 5 mins with all this energetic hype, I turned off..
Is their a discount for the lower packages? Thank you
Possibly - suggest getting in touch mate! Great guys

Is the factory warranty not voided with a product that gets so entangled with the wiring system?
