The Rising Threat of Car Theft in Nottingham
Nottinghamshire Police have highlighted a growing trend in vehicle crime, with organised groups using advanced technology to bypass factory-fitted security. The most significant threat facing owners of modern cars is keyless car theft, also known as a "relay attack."
This technique is alarmingly quick and silent. Thieves use a pair of relay devices to capture the signal from your car's key fob, even if it is stored safely inside your home or office. This signal is then amplified and transmitted to your vehicle, tricking its systems into believing the key is present. The criminals can then unlock the doors, start the engine, and drive away in under a minute. This type of theft is difficult to prevent with traditional methods and leaves no physical evidence, creating a major problem for car owners in residential areas like The Park Estate, Wollaton, and across the county.
How the Ghost Immobiliser Stops Thieves in Their Tracks
The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a revolutionary, next-generation security system designed specifically to combat these advanced theft techniques. It is a small, covert device that is professionally installed by our technicians directly into your vehicle’s CAN (Controller Area Network) bus system. Its tiny size and lack of radio frequency signals make it completely invisible and undetectable to thieves or their diagnostic tools.
The system's brilliance lies in its simplicity. It prevents 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, or steal the physical keys, they will be left powerless. Without the correct PIN code sequence, the engine remains immobilised, thwarting the theft and leaving your vehicle exactly where you parked it.
