Autowatch Ghost immobiliser install in Bentley Continental

Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser was installed to this Bentley Continental in Lincolnshire.

Autowatch Ghost immobiliser, what is it?

A Ghost immobiliser is an extremely discrete device that is hidden and integrated within your vehicle's electronics. It is undetectable from modern vehicle hacking devices.

If a thief attempts to steal your vehicle, with or without a cloned key or even your own key, it simply will not start and is totally immobilised.

The Ghost Autowatch 2 is not a generic immobiliser, it is a market leading immobiliser that integrates into your vehicle computer to immobilise it. Similar to having a pin code on your mobile phone to stop people from accessing your phone, the only way to start your vehicle is to enter a code using your car media buttons. This can be a sequence such as volume up, volume down, source, cruise, aircon on, etc. This sequenced code is programmed by you, no one else will know this code.

Dashcams.co.uk are TASSA registered, DBS security checked and system trained to install the Ghost immobiliser and once fitted, your vehicle is registered onto a Police database. You will receive documentation to show your insurance company, as they naturally love these devices! (Depending on which insurance company you are with, you can also enjoy substantial discounts off your premiums, effectively allowing the unit to pay for itself, especially when you sell your vehicle, you can have this removed and reinstalled allowing more insurance discounts!).

TASSA - Tracking And Aftermarket Security Systems Association is a 3rd party group of industry experts from police and security testing backgrounds. TASSA was formed to maintain standards, give industry a voice and maintain best practice.

Criminals can also break into vehicles and create their own key to start your car on some makes by using a programmer in the OBD (Onboard Diagnostic) port (normally in the drivers footwell). Should someone try to create a key or cloned key using your vehicles OBD port, the Ghost will actually stop this from happening.

Ghost immobiliser Service / Valet mode

You can enable the service mode when your vehicle is in for service. This makes the Ghost invisible to the garage however if certain requirements are not met the Ghost will automatically enable itself again.
