The Reality of Car Theft in Bristol
Data from Avon and Somerset Police reveals a troubling increase in vehicle crime across the Bristol area. From Clifton to Bedminster, car owners are at risk from thieves who no longer rely on brute force. The biggest threat facing motorists with modern cars is keyless car theft, also known as a "relay attack."
This method is alarmingly simple and quiet. Criminals work in pairs using a relay device to capture the signal from your key fob, even if it's securely inside your home or office. This signal is then transmitted to your vehicle, tricking its onboard computer into thinking the key is nearby. The thieves can then unlock the doors, start the engine, and drive away in less than 60 seconds, all without leaving a scratch. This makes traditional alarms and steering locks almost obsolete.
How the Ghost Immobiliser Protects Your Vehicle
The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a revolutionary anti-theft device designed specifically to combat these advanced theft techniques. It is a small, discreet unit professionally installed by our technicians into your vehicle’s CAN (Controller Area Network) bus system, making it completely invisible to the naked eye.
The system works by preventing your engine from starting until a unique PIN code is entered. You create this personal disarm sequence yourself using your car's existing buttons—on the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels. This means there are no extra key fobs to carry, which in turn means there is no signal for thieves to clone or amplify.
Even if a criminal manages to perform a relay attack, clone your key signal, or steal your physical keys, they will not be able to start the engine without entering your secret PIN code. This makes your vehicle practically impossible to steal, leaving would-be thieves frustrated and your car securely where you parked it.
