Does the Ghost immobiliser stop keyless and relay theft?
Yes. The Ghost defeats the digital methods now common across Sheffield, 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.
Can I fit a Ghost immobiliser myself?
We do not recommend it. Correct fitting means integrating the unit discreetly into your vehicle’s wiring without disturbing manufacturer settings, then programming and testing it. A professional install keeps the system hidden from thieves and protects your warranty, which is why our trained engineers handle every fitting.
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.
Can I fit a Ghost to a leased or financed car?
In most cases yes, because all work is non-invasive and fully reversible, with no cutting of original wiring. We would still suggest checking your lease or finance terms first, and the system can be removed cleanly at the end of your agreement if required.
Will the Ghost still protect my car if the battery is disconnected?
Yes. Because the Ghost integrates with your vehicle’s electronics rather than relying on a separate power source, disconnecting or replacing the battery does not disable it. The engine still will not start without your correct sequence, so the protection stays in place.
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 South Yorkshire. Always confirm the details with your own insurer.
