The Growing Threat of Car Theft in Oxford

Thames Valley Police have reported a concerning increase in vehicle crime, with many thefts being carried out using high-tech methods that bypass factory-fitted alarms and immobilisers. The most prevalent technique affecting owners of modern cars is keyless car theft, commonly known as a "relay attack."

This method is silent, fast, and highly effective. Thieves, often working in pairs, use a special device to capture the signal from your key fob, even if it is inside your home. This signal is then relayed to a second device placed near your car, tricking it into thinking the key is present. The criminals can then unlock the doors, start the engine, and drive away in less than a minute. This type of theft leaves no signs of forced entry, making it difficult to prove and a major headache for vehicle owners.

How the Ghost Immobiliser Defeats Thieves

The Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser is a next-generation security system designed specifically to combat modern theft methods like relay attacks. It is a small, discreet device that is professionally installed by our expert technicians into your vehicle’s CAN (Controller Area Network) bus system. Once installed, it is completely invisible and emits no radio signals, making it undetectable to thieves.

The system works by preventing your engine from starting until a unique, personal PIN code is entered. You create this disarm sequence yourself using your car's existing buttons such as those on the steering wheel, centre console, or door panels. This means there are no extra key fobs to carry, lose, or have cloned.

Even if a criminal manages to steal your keys, clone the signal, or perform a relay attack, they will be unable to start the engine without entering your secret PIN code. This makes your vehicle practically impossible to steal, leaving would-be thieves powerless and your car securely where you left it.
