Ghost

Hi guys

Can anyone recommend best place for supply and fit of ghost immobiliser around London or Essex please? What would be a guide on price for supply and fit?

Also what are the main differences between a Ghost 1 and Ghost 2?

Thanks

Ghost pricing is fixed iirc.... And £399 from all vendors.
You should perhaps consider this alternative option, as it's essentially the same & less than half the price.....

Hope this helps

2nd the Ampire WFS400 kit at a third of the price. The same as ghost and takes around 1 hr to fit.

No idea. But I believe they're a doddle to fit DIY. Plug & play compatible.

I'd be interested in one of these given the price! I'll see if any YT videos etc to show how to fit it.

Gotta say I have the Ghost Immobilser installed and its great. You can have it connected via your phone if you wish then don’t have to input any key presses to disable it. Not sure about the other brand. The Ghost immobiliser gives me a bit of peace of mind due to the issues of break ins and key pinching. Big thumbs up from me for that.

Ghosts have risen to £450 now I believe, as some of our dealers fit these, or used to.

Not quite plug and play as they still require splicing into CAN bus, 12V and earth. They're one of the easiest to fit yourself as they're digital immobilisers, not requiring more complicated physical cuts with relays, so most installers aren't auto electricians or specialised in vehicle security as they don't need to be.

Bear in mind they're not made to be the most secure system, but they are an extra layer of security. They work alongside other systems, too, so they seem to be a popular cheap option.
