What is a Ghost immobiliser and how does it work?

A Ghost immobiliser is a hidden device wired into your car's CAN bus. It prevents the engine from starting until a unique PIN sequence — entered via existing buttons in your car — is completed. There is no key fob and no signal to clone.

Is a Ghost immobiliser insurance-approved?

Yes. The Autowatch Ghost is Thatcham-approved, which most insurers recognise. Some insurers offer a premium discount for Thatcham-approved devices. Check with your insurer before booking for any applicable discount.

Will a Ghost immobiliser affect my car's warranty or be detectable?

The Ghost connects silently to the CAN bus with no radio frequency signal, making it undetectable with standard scanning equipment. Fitting is non-destructive — no wire cutting — which protects your manufacturer warranty.
