How it Works
Pin Code entry
Before you can start your car, you need to enter a unique PIN code using your vehicle’s existing buttons, such as those on the steering wheel or dashboard.
CAN BUS COMMUNICATION
The Ghost communicates with your car’s computer system, verifying the PIN code and ensuring it matches the one stored in the system.
VEHICLE IMMOBILISATION
If the PIN code is incorrect, the Ghost will prevent the engine from starting and immobilise the steering wheel. So, nobody can steal your pride and joy.
NEW Pin-less entry SYSTEM
If you’re regularly getting in and out of your car throughout the day, it can be tiring entering your pin every time. We know because we used to do it about 5 times a day in our van on the way to and from installations. So, AutoWatch UK Ltd, the manufacturer of Ghost, developed an add-on. This add-on involves a tag device, which sends a special signal to your car. That signal is acts like a unique pin. In turn, when you start the car, in possession of the tag, it’ll work. Without the tag, your car won’t start. You can even use your iOS or Android device as a “tag”.
Importance of ghost immobiliser fitting Durham
According to Police, there were 36 vehicle-related crimes between December 2023 and November 2024. However, that figure represents reported and convicted. Therefore, it’s important to know the total recorded crimes, which stands at 4,600 crimes between the same period. While it’s 5.2% less than the previous period (partly due to the rise of ghost immobiliser fittings), Durham is still the 19th out of 54 counties, according to PlumPlot, which collects its data from the Office for National Statistics. It means for every 1,000 people, 5.4 vehicle crimes are reported. Get in touch with Josh, your local Ghost Immobiliser Fitter Durham.
Key Features
Undetectable
Ghost has no visible buttons or displays, making it difficult for thieves to identify and bypass, so it'll come as a complete surprise in the attempt of theft.
Key Cloning Protection
Ghost allows your car and your key fob to communicate millions of dynamic secret code combinations, making it extremely difficult for thieves to intercept and replicate the signal. Even if they did, they wouldn't know your pin code.
Key Theft Protection
A byproduct of Ghost. In the event of burglary or robbery, your pride and joy is protected. While they'll be able to enter your vehicle, they won't be able to getaway.
Hacking Protection
Ghost is fully encrypted, which prevents hackers from seeing your pin code. That's if they even make into the car's computer system, which goes into lockdown when suspicious activity is detected. Don't worry - your pin will still work.

Overview of Durham
Ah, Durham! It’s a charming city with a lot of character, nestled in the North East of England. There’s a real sense of history here, but it’s also a vibrant modern place to live.
At the heart of Durham is the Durham Cathedral – a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s one of the most stunning examples of Norman architecture, towering over the city. You can see it from pretty much anywhere in the city centre, and the view from across the River Wear is breathtaking. It’s the kind of place that makes you stop and stare, no matter how many times you’ve seen it.
The Durham Castle, right next to the cathedral, is another iconic landmark. It’s part of Durham University now, but you can still explore parts of it or join guided tours. The fact that the city has a university right in its heart gives it an energetic feel, but it’s not overwhelming. It’s not like the hustle and bustle of a big city, which is nice if you’re after a quieter pace but with all the perks of being near students, academics, and lively events.
For more day-to-day stuff, Silver Street is a main shopping and dining area, with everything from cosy pubs like The Shakespeare to small, independent boutiques. If you walk up from the city centre, you’ll eventually hit Elvet Bridge, which crosses the Wear and leads toward Durham University’s main campus.
If you’re into nature, there’s the Botanic Garden up near the university, a peaceful spot with lots of green space to relax or walk around. And for something more tranquil, you can stroll along the riverbanks, or take the Wharton Park hill for some great views of the city and countryside surrounding it.
The A167 is the main road that connects Durham to the wider region. It’s handy for getting in and out of the city, but be warned – it can get a little busy at rush hour. If you’re in Durham, you’re never too far from scenic countryside either. The Durham Dales are just on the doorstep, perfect for a quick escape to the countryside.
While Durham is a beautiful place to live and visit, for that matter, vehicle theft crime is a problem. Protect your pride and joy with Ghost Immobiliser Fitting Durham.
All in all, Durham blends the old and the new beautifully. You’ve got centuries of history, but there’s also this young, creative energy thanks to the university. It’s a compact city, but it feels like it offers so much, whether you’re into history, culture, or just chilling by the river.
