The real risk

Modern thieves don't smash windows.

Relay attacks, OBD hacks and key cloning account for the vast majority of UK vehicle theft today. Your alarm, your tracker, even a steering lock won't stop them — but the Ghost will.

The Ghost Immobiliser protects against the 3 most common tactics thieves use to steal your vehicle:

Relay attack Ghost protects against this

Two cheap devices amplify your key fob signal through the wall. The car thinks the key is present and unlocks — no physical key required.
Key cloning Ghost protects against this

A handheld programmer reads your fob in proximity and writes a working duplicate in under a minute, leaving no trace.
OBD port programming Ghost protects against this

Smash a window, plug a laptop into the OBD port, program a blank key — and drive away. Average time: 90 seconds.

Why Choose Ghost Protect?

Secure your car with the UK's leading Ghost Immobiliser installer.

Every installation is carried out by an Autowatch Authorised Ghost Installer — the highest standard of certification available for Ghost Immobiliser fitting in the UK.

Zero-Trace Installation

The Ghost works invisibly in the background — no visible hardware, no radio signal, nothing a scanner can detect. If they can't find it, they can't beat it.

Works Even Against Key Cloning

Relay attack, cloned key, OBD programmer — none can start the car. The Ghost II requires your unique PIN, entered on buttons already in your car.

Insurance-Recognised Protection

The Ghost Immobiliser can be recognised by leading UK insurers. We provide an installation certificate after fitting — some customers see a meaningful reduction in their premium.

Fast, Clean Fitting — Nationwide

Around 2 hours, no drilling, no mess. We come to your home or workplace with same-week slots available across the full UK mainland.

How the Ghost Immobiliser works.

Your PIN

Secret sequence. Buttons you already use.

Our engineer programs your PIN using controls already in your car — steering wheel, window switches or door card. Nothing new is added, nothing is visible to a thief, and your car's interior looks completely unchanged.

Day-to-day

Two seconds. Then you drive away.

Get in, press your sequence, start the car. After a few drives it becomes automatic — like a debit card PIN. Your passengers won't notice anything different, and a valet mode lets mechanics drive the car without knowing your code.

Theft protection

No PIN. No start. No exceptions.

Relay attack, cloned key, OBD programmer — none can bypass the Ghost. There is no override, no signal to detect, and nothing for a thief to cut around. If they don't have your PIN, the car simply will not start.

The Ghost connects invisibly to your vehicle's CAN-bus data network — producing no radio signal and leaving no trace that any scanning tool can find. Over 2 million vehicles worldwide are already protected by Autowatch Ghost technology.

What our customers say

Real owners. Real feedback.

Here is what drivers across the UK say about their Ghost Protect installation.

★★★★★

"Booked Tuesday, fitted Friday morning on my driveway. The engineer was meticulous — walked me through the PIN setup and answered every question. Couldn't be happier. The Range Rover is staying put."

James S.

Manchester · Range Rover Sport

★★★★★

"Three neighbours have had cars taken in the last year alone. Ghost was a no-brainer. You'd never know it was there but I know nothing's moving that car without my PIN."

Priya A.

Birmingham · BMW M3

★★★★★

"My insurer knocked £180 off my premium when I submitted the certificate. The installation paid for itself in under two years and the car is actually safe in the meantime."

David M.

Leeds · Mercedes GLE

★★★★★

"Really professional from start to finish. They confirmed my Audi was compatible within the hour and were at my office car park the next morning. Two hours and done."

Sarah R.

Bristol · Audi Q7

★★★★★

"I'd had a relay attack attempt on my Defender. Booked Ghost Protect the same week. The engineer explained exactly what had happened and how the Ghost stops it cold."

Tom C.

Surrey · Land Rover Defender

★★★★★

"Went for the Ghost + Tracker bundle. The app lets me see exactly where the car is, and I know no one can start it without my PIN. Worth every penny for a £70k vehicle."

Mark K.

London · Porsche Cayenne

Both bundles combine the Autowatch Ghost II with a Thatcham-approved GPS tracker and 24/7 monitoring. The critical difference: S7 tracks your vehicle reactively after theft is reported — S5 adds Authorised Driver Recognition, alerting our monitoring centre the moment your car moves without an authorised driver present, even if a thief has a cloned key.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answered.

What exactly is the Autowatch Ghost?

The Ghost is a CAN-bus immobiliser — a small, covert device that connects to your car's internal data network. Until you enter your unique PIN sequence using buttons already in the car, the engine will not start, even with a perfect copy of the key.

Will it affect my manufacturer warranty?

No. The Ghost connects via the existing data network — no wires are cut, no aftermarket components are wired into the loom. Manufacturers cannot void your warranty over a non-invasive installation like this.

How long does fitting take?

The average installation is around 2 hours. We come to your chosen address, fit and program the device on-site, and walk you through setting and changing your PIN before we leave.

What if I forget my PIN?

Your PIN is recoverable through your secure customer account with us. There is also a built-in emergency recovery process tied to proof of vehicle ownership.

Can it be removed if I sell the car?

Yes — completely and without trace. Your buyer can either keep it and have us re-program the PIN to theirs, or we can uninstall it cleanly before the sale.

What happens when I take my car to a garage?

The Ghost has a built-in valet mode. Before handing your keys to a mechanic or valet, you activate valet mode using a simple button sequence — the car can then be started and driven normally without the PIN. When you get it back, a single press returns it to full protection. No one at the garage ever needs to know the device is fitted.

Which vehicles are compatible?

The Ghost supports the vast majority of modern petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric vehicles. Get in touch with your vehicle details and we'll confirm compatibility and price within the hour — no obligation.
