Ford Transit / Transit Custom / Protected
Ford Transits are the most-stolen van class in the UK — key cloning, tool theft and false-starts cost tradespeople thousands. Our TASSA-verified engineers fit Ghost II immobilisers, GPS trackers and alarm + deadlock upgrades to the Transit and Transit Custom across Sutton Coldfield and the West Midlands — keeping the van, and your tools, where they belong.
Why This
Model Is Targeted
Theft Profile
Ford Transits and Transit Customs are the most-stolen van class in the UK. Vans are routine targets for organised criminals after the contents — typically power tools worth thousands of pounds. Common methods include OBD-port key-cloning (a cloned key programmed in seconds via the dashboard port), signal-suppression on Ford's keyless trims, and brute-force pulldown on the side door. The vehicle itself is simply a getaway + tool cabinet to the thief. A Ghost II immobiliser blocks the engine start in any scenario; a covert live tracker handles recovery if the van is towed or lifted.

The Ford Transit / Transit Custom
Bundle
Layered protection for your Ford Transit / Transit Custom: pair the appropriate Ghost immobiliser with a live tracker for prevention and recovery. Ghost II, Ghost 3 and PRO fitment depends on the exact build and specification. Ghost II is being phased out as Ghost 3 supersedes it; Ghost II installations and bundles are subject to availability and remaining stock.
Considering a newer Ford Transit / Transit Custom? Autowatch Ghost 3 — £549 fitted adds dual CAN / CAN-FD support. We confirm compatibility before fitting; this is not a blanket guarantee for every model year.
Autowatch Ghost II Immobiliser
Hidden keypad-immobiliser on the Ford CAN-bus — defeats key-cloning and signal-suppression theft by requiring a 4-20 button PIN sequence before start.
Live GPS Tracker + Anti-Tow Sensor
Covert battery-backed GPS with motion alerts, geofencing and anti-tow pitch sensor — silent recovery if the van is ever lifted or moved illegally.
Alarm + Load-Area Deadlock
Dual-zone motion sensor inside the load area plus a slam-lock on the side door — protects the tools and equipment inside, not just the vehicle itself.
