Ghost
Immobiliser
Installation Hull
Car theft in Hull and across the East Riding of Yorkshire has become an increasingly serious concern for vehicle owners. Whether you drive a late-plate Ford, a prestige BMW, or a high-value Land Rover, keyless entry vulnerabilities and relay theft attacks leave modern cars frighteningly exposed. At OJB Autocare, we install the Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser — the most trusted aftermarket vehicle security device available in the UK — giving Hull drivers genuine, lasting peace of mind.
Our Ghost
Immobiliser
Services in Hull
At OJB Autocare, everything we do around the Ghost Immobiliser is built on one principle — proper protection, properly installed. We do not cut corners, we do not rush jobs, and we do not hand your keys back until we are completely satisfied that your vehicle is as secure as it can be. Here is exactly what we offer Hull drivers when it comes to Ghost Immobiliser services.
-
The core of what we do. We supply and professionally fit the Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser to vehicles across Hull and the wider East Yorkshire area. The Ghost II is a CAN bus immobiliser that works entirely within your vehicle's existing wiring system — no visible hardware, no RF signal, no key fobs.
Once installed, your vehicle requires a unique PIN sequence entered through your car's own buttons before the engine will start. Relay attacks, key cloning, and signal amplifiers are rendered completely useless because the Ghost operates independently of your key signal entirely.
Our installation covers full vehicle assessment, concealed professional fitting, PIN programming, multi-cycle system testing, and a complete handover briefing before you drive away.
What's included:
Pre-installation CAN bus compatibility check
Fully concealed unit installation
Personalised PIN sequence setup
Emergency disarm procedure walkthrough
Post-installation system test
Written installation certificate
Compatible with: Petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric vehicles from all major manufacturers.

For owners of the most frequently stolen vehicles in the UK — Range Rover, Land Rover Defender, BMW X5, Mercedes GLE, and Toyota Land Cruiser — a standard installation sometimes is not enough for insurers. That is where our Tassa-verified Ghost Immobiliser service comes in.
Tassa (The Association of Scottish and English Approved Installers) is the nationally recognised body that certifies Ghost installers to the highest industry standard. A Tassa-verified installation from OJB Autocare provides:
Official certification accepted by specialist and high-value vehicle insurers
Documented proof of professional-grade installation
Compliance with insurer-mandated security requirements on prestige policies
Added credibility if your vehicle is ever subject to a theft-related insurance claim
If your insurer has specifically requested a Tassa-verified Ghost installation as a condition of your policy, OJB Autocare can meet that requirement right here in Hull without you needing to travel elsewhere.
Ideal for: Range Rover owners, luxury vehicle owners, and drivers with specialist, agreed-value, or high-performance vehicle insurance policies.
-
Already have an older aftermarket immobiliser fitted to your vehicle but concerned it is no longer offering adequate protection? We carry out Ghost Immobiliser upgrade installations, removing outdated systems and replacing them with the current Autowatch Ghost II — the most advanced version of the device available.
Older immobilisers that rely on RF remotes, visible LED indicators, or separate key fobs are increasingly vulnerable to the sophisticated theft techniques being used across the UK today. The Ghost II eliminates all of those weaknesses in one upgrade.
The process is clean, efficient, and leaves your vehicle in the same condition it arrived in — just significantly better protected.
Ideal for: Drivers with ageing aftermarket security systems, vehicles previously fitted with older Ghost I units, or anyone whose insurer has flagged their current immobiliser as insufficient.
-
Circumstances change. If you have recently purchased a second-hand vehicle with a Ghost Immobiliser already installed, taken on a new driver for a company vehicle, or simply want to update your PIN sequence for security reasons, OJB Autocare offers a professional Ghost PIN change and reprogramming service in Hull.
We access the existing system safely, verify ownership and authorisation, and set a new personalised PIN sequence that only you know. This is a quick, straightforward service but an important one — driving around with a PIN set by a previous owner is a security risk that is easy to resolve.
Ideal for: Second-hand vehicle buyers, fleet managers updating driver access, and anyone wanting to refresh their existing Ghost setup.
-
Like any piece of automotive technology, a Ghost Immobiliser benefits from a periodic check to ensure it is communicating correctly with your vehicle's CAN bus and functioning exactly as intended. Our Ghost health check service covers:
Full system communication diagnostic
PIN sequence verification
Emergency override function test
Check for any CAN bus conflict with recently fitted accessories or software updates
Firmware review where applicable
This service is particularly recommended after a vehicle has undergone significant electrical work, a software update from a main dealer, or if you have noticed any irregularity in how your immobiliser is behaving during startup.
Ideal for: Existing Ghost owners wanting reassurance, vehicles that have recently had electrical modifications, or any driver experiencing unusual startup behaviour.

Insurance
Many of Hull's leading insurance brokers and national motor insurers now recognise the Autowatch Ghost as a valuable vehicle security upgrade. Having an Autowatch Ghost II professionally installed by OJB Autocare may help reduce your annual insurance premium, particularly for high-risk, prestige, or high-value vehicles. It can also help satisfy security requirements on specialist, performance, and agreed-value insurance policies while providing evidence that proactive, professional-grade anti-theft measures were in place in the event of a theft claim. We recommend speaking with your insurer before or after installation to determine whether your Ghost-fitted vehicle qualifies for any premium reductions or policy benefits. Many of our Hull customers have reported insurance savings that helped offset the cost of installation within a single policy year.
What Happens During a
Ghost Immobiliser
Installation at OJB
Autocare?
The installation process is straightforward and usually completed in a single visit. It begins with a vehicle assessment, where our technician inspects your CAN bus system to determine the most secure and effective installation point. Next is discreet fitting, where the Ghost II is hidden behind the dashboard or within the existing wiring loom, with no drilling or visible hardware added, keeping your vehicle completely unchanged in appearance. We then carry out PIN programming with you, setting a unique button sequence using your vehicle’s existing controls. After this, full system testing is completed across multiple start cycles to ensure everything works perfectly. Finally, we provide a full handover with documentation and a clear explanation of your system, so you leave fully confident in your vehicle’s protection.
