Autowatch Ghost immobiliser

How did this subject go from the technical ability of this device to stop thieves.... to.. 'what sort of wear and tear would it have on my steering wheel buttons" ?

I think its been thoroughly researched now... I'm going to get one..

Apologies for what seems a random question but it was something I was wondering. AKA research.

Busy Man him; did he say if he'd fitted a Ghost before?

Yeah, he said he had done a few and was recommended by Webb Electronics

Where is he?

 

[JimVee]

Where is he?

Based in Cheltenham which is 15 miles down the road from me which is handy.

 

[Loz]

40mins up the road from me, might be handy for me then..

Will let you know how it goes unless you get it done before me lol

Theres no physical connection? I can see how maybe switch & button signals could be picked up by inductive coupling, but how can it talk to the ECU if its not physically connected to the bus? Interested in one but intrigued as to how it interacts

It's magic!! Seriously, I have no idea - all I know is I was told that it was just wrapped around with no wires cut - this was one of the attractions for me when weighing up what to go for when I bought the van - if anyone wants to tell me otherwise, I'm happy to be corrected but, either way, having it fitted feels like a good layer of protection.

TBH discussing the inner workings of this type of kit in public is prob not a great idea
@Phil_G send me a pm and I will be happy to explain

Perhaps they will do a special deal for 3 and we do them simultaneously...?

I've dropped him a text @Loz and got an out of hours type message asking to ring him Monday. I think thats its a great idea. @JimVee what do you think?

 

[JimVee]

I'm more than happy to do a deal if he will. I'm booked in for 13 April

 

[DaveyB]

Maybe he’ll do a forum related deal?

I'm free that day. This could be interesting.

@Ed Webb, @Loz @DaveyB

Just asked him and he is bound by contract to a minimum price structure or could lose his Ghost install contract so no joy I'm afraid and I can totally understand why.
