Ghost Immobiliser Installation in Wakefield

Protect your vehicle from keyless theft, relay attacks and key cloning with professional Autowatch Ghost 2 immobiliser installation at GearUp Gearboxes in Wakefield.

Professional Vehicle Security Installation — Wakefield & West Yorkshire

Car theft is on the rise. In the UK, over 176 cars are stolen every single day — and modern keyless entry vehicles are prime targets for relay attacks, key cloning and signal hacking. A standard factory alarm or tracker is no longer enough.

GearUp Gearboxes Wakefield are authorised installers of the Autowatch Ghost 2 — the UK's most advanced covert vehicle immobiliser. Completely hidden, completely wireless, and virtually undetectable to even the most sophisticated thieves.

WHAT IS THE AUTOWATCH GHOST 2?

The Autowatch Ghost 2 is a next-generation vehicle immobiliser that works completely differently to traditional security systems. There are no extra key fobs, no LED indicators, and no detectable wiring — it connects directly to your vehicle's CAN-Bus data network, making it invisible to thieves.

To start your vehicle, you enter a unique, personalised PIN sequence using your existing steering wheel buttons, window switches or centre console controls. Without that PIN, the engine simply won't start — even if the thief has your keys.

How the Ghost 2 Protects Your Vehicle

  1. Discreet Installation

    • Connects to your vehicle's CAN-Bus system — no wire cutting or splicing
    • No visible hardware — nothing for thieves to find or remove

  2. Your Personal PIN

    • Your unique PIN (4–21 button presses) is set using your existing car buttons
    • Works alongside your standard key — no extra fobs needed
    • Emergency scratch PIN provided for backup — store it safely at home

  3. App & Theft Protection

    • App disarm available via iPhone or Android for additional convenience
    • Withstands relay attacks, key cloning, OBD hacking and signal scanners

Complete Protection Against Modern Theft Methods

Today's car thieves are sophisticated. The Ghost 2 protects against every major attack method used to steal modern vehicles:

  • Relay Attacks

    Relay attacks — amplifying your key fob signal from inside your house

  • Key & Signal Cloning

    Key scanning and signal cloning

  • OBD Port Hacking

    OBD port hacking (programming a new key in minutes)

  • Key Theft

    Key theft — even with your keys, they can't drive your car

  • Diagnostic Tool Bypass

    Diagnostic tool bypass attacks

If a thief targets your Ghost 2-protected vehicle, towing is the only option — and even then, the engine won't start at their destination.

Ghost Immobiliser FAQs

Find answers to common questions about vehicle compatibility, PIN access, installation and the Autowatch Ghost 2.

Will the Ghost 2 affect my vehicle warranty?

The Ghost 2 uses your vehicle's existing CAN-Bus network and doesn't modify any mechanical components, so it shouldn't affect your manufacturer warranty. We recommend checking with your dealer if you're concerned.

What happens if I forget my PIN?

No problem — every installation includes an emergency scratch PIN which you keep safely at home. You can also disarm the system via the Ghost app on your smartphone.

Can the Ghost 2 be detected with a diagnostics tool?

No. The Ghost 2 doesn't appear on standard vehicle diagnostics tools. It's designed to be completely invisible to both thieves and standard equipment.

Does it work on all vehicles?

The Ghost 2 is compatible with the vast majority of modern vehicles. When you book, we'll confirm compatibility with your specific make and model.

How long does installation take?

A typical Ghost 2 installation takes 1–2 hours. You can wait with us at our Wakefield workshop or drop your vehicle off and collect it the same day.
