Does the Ghost immobiliser stop keyless and relay theft?
Yes. The Ghost defeats the digital methods now common across Hampshire, 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 Hampshire Police recommend?
Hampshire Police 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.
Is the Ghost immobiliser guaranteed?
Yes. The Autowatch Ghost is a proven, TASSA registered system, and our fitting is carried out by trained engineers to national standards. You receive manufacturer backing on the unit along with our own installation support, and details of the cover are explained clearly at handover.
How long does 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.
