How an Immobiliser Saves Your Car
With keyless entry becoming the standard for modern vehicles, a new type of theft has surged across the UK: the “relay attack.” In under 60 seconds, thieves can pick up the signal from your key fob inside your house and beam it to your car on the driveway. To the vehicle, it looks like a legitimate entry—the doors unlock, the engine starts, and your car is gone without a window being smashed.
At RJ Curling, we recommend the Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser as the ultimate physical-digital hybrid defence. Unlike traditional alarms, the Ghost II has no key fobs or LED indications to give away its location. It is integrated directly into the vehicle’s CAN-bus system. Even if a thief clones your key or performs a relay attack, the car simply won’t move until you enter a unique, secret PIN code using the buttons on your steering wheel or dashboard. It’s the “invisible guardian” that ensures even if they get inside, they aren’t going anywhere.
