Ghost
Immobiliser
Installation
Wakefield
Car theft across West Yorkshire has risen sharply in recent years. Criminals are no longer breaking windows or hot-wiring engines — they're using sophisticated electronic devices to clone key signals, intercept OBD ports, and bypass factory-fitted security systems in under sixty seconds. If you own a modern vehicle, particularly one with keyless entry, your car is at far greater risk than you might think.
At OJB Autocare, we help Wakefield drivers take back control of their vehicle security. We install the Autowatch Ghost II — the UK's leading aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser — providing a hidden, undetectable layer of protection that even the most technically advanced car thief cannot overcome. No warning lights. No visible hardware. No way to start your vehicle without your unique personal PIN.

Key Benefits of Fitting a
Ghost Immobiliser in
Wakefield
A Ghost Immobiliser provides strong protection against relay theft by making your key signal useless without a unique PIN entered through your vehicle’s controls. It is also recognised by many UK insurers, which can lead to lower premiums and long-term savings. The system is completely invisible with no lights, remotes, or external signs, making it impossible for thieves to detect or bypass. Because it works silently through your car’s existing electronics, there are no false alarms or disturbances. It can also help protect resale value by adding a proven layer of security, and it is compatible with most modern CAN bus vehicles, including major brands like BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Ford, and Volkswagen. Once installed, it resets automatically after every journey, providing constant 24/7 protection without any extra effort from the driver.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
When installed correctly by a trained professional, a Ghost Immobiliser should not affect your vehicle manufacturer's warranty. At OJB Autocare, we install to a standard that preserves your car's original systems completely.
-
Yes. Your PIN can be reprogrammed, though this does require access to the installed unit by a trained technician. We recommend selecting a sequence that is personally memorable but not easily guessed by others.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Many UK insurers recognise the Autowatch Ghost as an approved aftermarket security device and may offer a reduction in your annual premium. We recommend contacting your insurer directly to discuss the potential savings before booking.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
