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.
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.
Today's car thieves are sophisticated. The Ghost 2 protects against every major attack method used to steal modern vehicles:
Relay attacks — amplifying your key fob signal from inside your house
Key scanning and signal cloning
OBD port hacking (programming a new key in minutes)
Key theft — even with your keys, they can't drive your car
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.

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