CEN supplies and fits vehicle security at our workshop at Unit 25 Technology Drive, Beeston, Nottingham: the Autowatch Ghost II immobiliser, Thatcham-approved GPS trackers from Meta Trak and Trackstar, and hardwired dash cams with parking mode. Modern keyless cars can be stolen in seconds by relay attacks and key cloning, so the best protection combines something that stops the car being driven away, something that helps get it back, and something that records what happened. Call 0115 924 0666 or contact us to book; we are appointment only, Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.
Our vehicle security options
- Autowatch Ghost II immobiliser: stops the car being driven away, even with a cloned or relayed key.
- Meta Trak GPS trackers: insurance-approved tracking and stolen vehicle recovery, including a tracker with built-in immobiliser.
- Trackstar GPS trackers: Thatcham-approved S5 and S7 tracking systems for stolen vehicle recovery.
- Dash cams: parking mode recording of anyone tampering with or hitting your car.
Autowatch Ghost II immobiliser
The Ghost II is a hidden immobiliser that stops your car starting until you enter a PIN code using the car's own buttons, such as the steering wheel or window controls. There is no fob to carry and no radio signal for thieves to copy, so it protects against key cloning, relay attacks and stolen keys, and there is no subscription. We are TASSA and Autowatch approved installers. Choose the Autowatch Ghost II or the Ghost II Pro, and read more on our Ghost installation page.
Meta Trak GPS trackers
Meta Trak trackers give real-time location monitoring and stolen vehicle recovery for cars, vans and fleets. Choose from the Meta Trak S5 VTS and S7 VTS insurance-approved tracking systems, or the Meta Trak S5 Deadlock, which combines a tracker with an immobiliser in one system. See the full Meta Trak range.
Trackstar GPS trackers
Trackstar's Thatcham-approved trackers are a popular choice for prestige vehicles and are often accepted by insurers. We supply and fit the Trackstar Secure S5 and Trackstar Secure S7. If your insurer has asked for a specific approved category, tell us when you book and we will fit the right system. See the full Trackstar range.
Dash cams for security
A hardwired dash cam with parking mode keeps watching when you are away, recording break-ins, theft attempts and car park damage, and the footage can support an insurance or police report. We fit front, rear and 3-channel cameras from Viofo, BlackVue, Thinkware and Nextbase, with a dash cam battery pack for longer parking mode without draining the car battery. Browse all dash cams or read about our dash cam installation, from £60 for a 1-channel camera depending on the vehicle.
Which security should I choose?
For keyless and key-cloning theft, the Ghost II immobiliser is the most effective single step because the car will not drive away without the PIN. Add a GPS tracker if your insurer requires one or you want the best chance of recovering the vehicle, and a dash cam for evidence of anyone tampering with it. Many customers combine all three, and we can fit them in one visit. See the rest of our vehicle security range and our other services.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Autowatch Ghost II need a subscription?
No. The Ghost II has no subscription or running costs.
Will a tracker or immobiliser affect my insurance?
Many insurers recognise Thatcham-approved trackers and some require one for high-value vehicles. Check with your insurer which category they need, and we will fit the matching system.
Can a dash cam help if my car is broken into?
Yes. A hardwired dash cam in parking mode records events while the car is parked, which can provide evidence for your insurer or the police.
How long does installation take?
Most immobiliser, tracker and dash cam installations are completed the same day. Book an appointment and we will confirm the timescale for your vehicle.
