This Is The History Of Bmw Ghost Immobiliser

Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser

It only makes sense to safeguard our vehicles as they are an object of pride and happiness. The Autowatch ghost 11 immobiliser (click through the up coming website) is a discrete vehicle immobiliser which connects to your vehicle's CAN data network. It works through the ECU (your car's brain).

Once it is installed the device will block your car from moving until an appropriate pin code sequence (up to 20 presses) is entered, much as a PIN on your credit card.

No Key Fobs or LED Indicators to Give Away Its Location

The Ghost Immobiliser does not use key fobs or LED indicators, so it is almost undetectable to anyone who enters your vehicle. The system uses buttons on the steering wheel, centre console, or door to generate an individual pin code that must be entered in order for your car to begin. The system can be set to take up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine will begin, making it nearly impossible for thieves to clone your key or hack your vehicle.

Modern car thieves are able to utilize diagnostic tools that are professional to determine which security systems are installed in vehicles, however the Ghost does not transmit signals as conventional systems do. Criminals can recognize the type of security system installed in your car by using sophisticated technology for RF scanning, code grabbing and relay attack methods. They can then disable your vehicle's security system by tampering with the alarm or immobiliser.

In contrast to other immobilisers on market The Ghost is integrated into your car or van's CAN data network, so it is virtually impossible to bypass and hack.

This makes it difficult for thieves to tamper with the system using relay attacks, or any other method.

The system also features the Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in the garage for servicing or valet parking. The vehicle can be started for a short period while working, without the need to enter the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then shut down once you return the vehicle.
