Will a Ghost Immobiliser affect my manufacturer's warranty?

All Ghost devices we supply and fit come with a 12-month device warranty. If your car is still under manufacturer warranty and that matters to you, check with your dealer before fitting, as only the vehicle manufacturer can confirm its position.

Can I change my PIN sequence after installation?

Yes, you can change it yourself. Ghost owners can change their own PIN by following the owner guide for their system, so you don't need to book a technician just for that. If you've forgotten your PIN, contact the installer who fitted your Ghost first, or us if we fitted it. Keep your emergency card somewhere safe and private.

What happens if I forget my PIN?

The Ghost Immobiliser has a secure recovery process. You will need to contact an authorised installer with your proof of ownership to go through the recovery procedure. This is why choosing a memorable PIN from the outset is important.

Is the Ghost Immobiliser compatible with my car?

The Ghost II is compatible with the vast majority of modern vehicles using a CAN bus network. When you contact us to book, we will confirm compatibility with your specific make and model before any work is carried out.

How long does the installation take?

Most installations are completed within two to three hours. We will provide an estimated time when you book so you can plan your day accordingly.

Will fitting a Ghost Immobiliser reduce my car insurance premium?

The Autowatch Ghost-II's security verification comes through TASSA rather than Thatcham. Thatcham categories such as S5 and S7 apply to trackers, including the Scorpion trackers we fit. Your insurer decides whether a Ghost affects your premium, so check with them directly.

Can a thief remove or bypass the Ghost Immobiliser?

The Ghost is designed to be extremely difficult to locate, remove, or bypass. It produces no detectable RF signal, is hidden within the vehicle's wiring, and cannot be identified or defeated by standard diagnostic tools used by thieves.

Do I need to do anything differently when I start my car?

Yes, but it quickly becomes second nature. Before starting, you enter your PIN sequence using your car's existing controls. The process takes just a few seconds and most drivers adapt to it within a day or two.

What is service mode, and when would I use it?

Service mode temporarily disables the PIN requirement, allowing garage staff or MOT testers to move or start your vehicle without needing your personal code. You activate service mode yourself before handing your keys over, so your PIN remains confidential at all times.

Is the Ghost Immobiliser legal to fit in the UK?

Absolutely. The Autowatch Ghost II is a fully legal aftermarket vehicle security device. It is used by tens of thousands of drivers across the UK and is recognised by insurers, security professionals, and automotive experts as a legitimate and highly effective anti-theft solution.

Wakefield

A professionally fitted Ghost makes your car harder to steal by adding an authorisation step that a cloned or relayed key can't supply. No security product is unbeatable, which is why some Wakefield owners pair a Ghost with a vehicle tracker.

The Growing Threat of

Vehicle Theft in West

Yorkshire

Vehicle theft in Wakefield and across West Yorkshire has been rising, with relay attacks becoming a common method. Criminals can capture and extend your key fob signal from inside your home, allowing them to unlock and start your car in seconds, often before anyone notices. Standard factory security and alarms are no longer enough, as they can be bypassed using relay devices, OBD tools, or key programming equipment. A Ghost Immobiliser removes this risk by requiring a unique PIN entered through your vehicle’s controls, meaning the car cannot be started without it—even if the thieves have your keys.
