Vehicle Security and Protection
Can you afford to have your car stolen?
The ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips is causing significant disruptions in the car industry. Factors like the Russia-Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a noticeable decline in both sales and production numbers worldwide. Initially, it seemed that the chip shortage only affected appliance and electronics brands, but it has now substantially impacted the automotive sector as well. This has forced some manufacturers to halt production in certain countries, leading to a diminished supply of new vehicles. As a result, many dealerships are experiencing lengthy waiting lists, and buyers are increasingly turning to the second-hand market to find available vehicles.
Consumers are often taken aback when they discover the lengthy wait times for replacement or new vehicles, especially if their previous vehicle was stolen. In light of the increasing rates of vehicle theft across the country, it’s crucial for buyers to enhance their vehicle’s security after making a purchase. One effective option is the Autowatch Ghost immobiliser, which can help safeguard against theft. As reported by the PA News Agency, there have been 88,915 vehicle thefts up to March 2022, with thieves increasingly targeting high-demand vehicles for their parts, often able to strip a vehicle in just a few hours. Additionally, the UK has experienced a 40% decrease in car production, further compounding the challenges for consumers seeking new vehicles.
AutoWatch Ghost - II and
Ghost - II Pro
The AutoWatch Ghost - II and Ghost - II Pro is the original aftermarket CAN BUS immobiliser, protecting your vehicle from theft like nothing else on the market today.
The AutoWatch Ghost - II and Ghost - II Pro protects your vehicle from key cloning, hacking, and key theft. It does not use key fobs or LED indicators, which helps keep its location discreet. Instead, the Ghost utilises the buttons in your vehicle — such as those on the steering wheel, door panels, or center console — to create a unique, changeable disarm sequence, similar to a PIN code.
This sequence must be entered before you can drive your vehicle. You can enhance the security of your vehicle even further by making the disarm sequence up to 20 button presses long.
