Does the Ghost immobiliser stop keyless and relay theft?
Yes. The Ghost defeats the digital methods now common across Leicester, 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.
How is a covert immobiliser better than a steering lock or wheel clamp?
A steering lock or clamp is a visible physical deterrent that a determined thief can cut or remove, and it does nothing to stop keyless theft. The Ghost is hidden and electronic, blocking the engine from starting at all, so it defends against the digital attacks physical locks cannot.
How does the Ghost immobiliser work?
The Ghost uses a secret PIN code entered through a sequence of presses 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 or find.
Is the Ghost easy to use every day?
Yes. Once set, entering your PIN sequence takes only a moment and quickly becomes second nature, much like a phone passcode. Your engineer gives you time to practise at handover, and you can change the sequence whenever you like if you want something easier to remember.
Will the Ghost drain my car battery?
No. The Ghost draws a very small amount of power and is designed to sit quietly within your vehicle’s electronics without affecting normal battery life. All work is non-invasive and reversible, and the system is fully tested before handover to confirm it runs correctly.
Is the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser insurance approved?
Ghost Installations is a TASSA approved installer, and many insurers recognise the Ghost as an effective security upgrade, rewarding owners with reduced premiums on some policies. This makes it a popular choice for performance cars, hybrids and high-value vans across the East Midlands. Always confirm the details with your own insurer.
