Ghost Immobiliser Manchester

Vehicle owners in Manchester who want to avoid becoming a car crime statistic are being urged by police to consider extra security measures.

As a result, the Ghost Immobiliser from Autowatch, a discreet, keyless security device, has become a sought-after upgrade.

It will offer a strong defence against criminals targeting performance cars, hybrids and high-value vans who are now using digital tools that bypass traditional alarms.

The change in offending patterns has pushed many owners in Trafford, Salford, Stockport, Bury and Bolton to rethink how they protect their vehicles.

Fitting a Ghost Immobiliser in Manchester

One effective way to ensure your pride and joy doesn’t become a statistic is to install a Ghost Immobiliser.

The system, which can be installed by Ghost Installations, prevents the engine from starting unless the driver enters a unique sequence of button presses, stopping thieves who rely on relay devices or OBD port attacks.

Its appeal lies in its invisibility and the absence of fobs or signals, reducing the chances of discovery during a break-in.

To help, we offer mobile installation across the region so our experienced technicians can visit homes and workplaces. That flexibility has proved useful for owners who cannot spare time for workshop visits.

Immobiliser fitting across Manchester

Ghost Installation engineers are covering everything from city centre car parks to residential streets in Didsbury, Prestwich and Altrincham.

We can offer same-day or next-day appointments depending on the customer’s location and vehicle type.

Engineers begin with a brief handover, confirming the make, model and any factory equipment that could influence the installation. They then identify secure locations within the vehicle’s wiring where the system can be integrated without interfering with manufacturer settings.

While all work is non-invasive and reversible, the immobiliser’s positioning is intentionally discreet.

GM Police recommendations

Greater Manchester Police reports that vehicle crime has fallen but there were still 4,275 thefts of motor vehicles. Its data covering September 2023 to March 2024 also recorded 7,136 thefts from vehicles and 1,631 incidents of vehicle interference.

In a bid to tackle the problem, GMP targeted hotspots with visible and covert operations and officers recovered stolen vehicles and property worth more than £1million.

Superintendent Danny O’Neil, GMP’s lead for vehicle crime, said: “I would like to urge vehicle owners to take continue to take precautions, including removing valuables from vehicles, using steering locks for keyless entry cars, parking in well-lit areas when possible, and considering additional security measures such as tracking devices and Faraday pouches for electronic keys.”

To underline the issue, Quotezone says Greater Manchester is the eighth worst area in the UK for car crime at 706 vehicle thefts per 100,000 people.

How bad is car crime in Manchester?
Vehicle crime has fallen across Greater Manchester, but Greater Manchester Police still recorded 4,275 thefts of vehicles, 7,136 thefts from vehicles and 1,631 incidents of vehicle interference in its most recent data. Quotezone ranks the area eighth worst in the UK, at 706 vehicle thefts per 100,000 people.

Does the Ghost immobiliser stop keyless and relay theft?
Yes. The Ghost defeats the digital methods now common across Manchester, including relay attacks, key cloning and OBD port attacks. It requires a unique sequence of button presses before the engine will start, so the car cannot be driven away even if thieves get inside or clone a key.

What car security does Greater Manchester Police recommend?
GMP urges owners to remove valuables, use steering locks on keyless cars, park in well lit areas where possible, and consider additional security such as tracking devices and Faraday pouches. A covert immobiliser like the Ghost adds a further layer, stopping the engine from starting even if a thief gets past those measures.

How does the Ghost immobiliser work?
The Ghost uses a secret disarm sequence entered on your existing buttons, such as the steering wheel or door controls. This disables an internal CAN bus interface, so the engine will not start without the correct code. There are no fobs or signals for thieves to intercept, which keeps it hidden during a break in.

How long does Ghost immobiliser installation take, and do I need to prepare?
A standard fitting takes around two hours, though premium models with complex architecture can take slightly longer. Preparation is minimal: just clear the passenger footwell and make sure your battery is healthy. All work is non-invasive and reversible, and everything is tested before your handover.

What support do I get after the Ghost is fitted?
At handover, the engineer shows you how to set and change your disarm sequence and explains what to do if you forget it. Every customer also receives details of our support line and aftercare team, who handle any follow up questions after the installation.
