What is the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser & Why You Need One in 2025

In today’s world of advanced vehicle theft from relay attacks to key cloning car security has become more essential than ever. If you’ve invested in a high-value or performance vehicle, chances are you’ve already heard of the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser.

But what exactly is it? And why are more and more car owners in Cannock, Shrewsbury, and across the West Midlands turning to Shield Automotive for installation?

Let’s break it down.

🚘 What is the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser?

The Autowatch Ghost II is an advanced aftermarket Immobiliser that prevents your car from being stolen even if the thief has your keys.

Unlike traditional systems, Ghost II is undetectable, non-invasive, and doesn’t rely on key fobs or remote signals. Instead, it uses a secret PIN sequence, entered via your car's existing buttons (like on the steering wheel or dashboard) to disarm the system.

🧠 How Does It Work?

Once installed, your car will not start unless the correct button sequence (PIN code) is entered.

• Start the ignition

• Enter your code (via buttons like cruise control, window switch, etc.)

• Only then will the car start

This process is silent, invisible, and impossible to bypass without knowing the code.
