Does the Ghost immobiliser stop keyless and relay theft?
Yes. The Ghost defeats the digital methods now common across Cardiff, 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 bypass the alarm or clone a key.
What car security does South Wales Police recommend?
South Wales Police urges owners to remove valuables, use steering locks on keyless cars, park in well lit areas and keep electronic keys in a Faraday pouch. 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 is why it stays hidden during a break in.
Do I need to do anything before my installation?
Very little. We simply recommend clearing personal items from the passenger footwell and making sure your vehicle battery is healthy. Our engineer confirms your make, model and any factory equipment on arrival, then fits and tests the system on site, usually at your home or workplace.
How long does Ghost immobiliser installation take?
A standard fitting takes around two hours, though premium models with more complex architecture can take slightly longer. All work is non-invasive and reversible. At handover, the engineer shows you how to set and change your disarm sequence and explains exactly what to do if you ever forget it.
What support do I get after the Ghost is fitted?
Every customer receives details of our support line and aftercare team, who handle any follow up questions. You can change your disarm sequence at any time, and if you forget it there is a secure process to get you back on the road without compromising the system.
