Why Nobody Cares About Ghost Immobiliser Car

BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost utilizes the CAN data bus to communicate with your vehicle. This stops thieves adding keys or replacing the ECU to bypass your security system since it requires a valid PIN code to start the engine.

Like other immobilisers, the Ghost does not use LEDs or key fobs. It uses the buttons on your vehicle to allow you enter a unique disarming sequence that you can only remember.

Stop & Start

If you've previously driven a brand new BMW or used the stop start feature, then you might have noticed that once stopped the engine continues to run for about 30 seconds after releasing the brake pedal. This is due to the BMW engine management system constantly monitoring your vehicle for signals from the ignition key, and when this is found it will keep running. The Autowatch 2 Ghost is a device that stops this by stopping the vehicle when you press the button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser is an innovative next-generation device that does not require cutting OEM wires or installing an aftermarket alarms and key fobs. It is hooked up to the BMW's CAN data network and is programmed with an encrypted, secure PIN code that can be accessible via buttons that are installed in your car. This allows you to enter the key sequences which aren't accessible in normal menus for media. For example, volume up/down or source air conditioning, cruise control etc. The PIN can be between 4 and 20 digits, so it is extremely difficult for thieves to guess or crack.

In addition, we can also add a service/ valet mode to the system. This is activated when your vehicle is being serviced so that the Ghost is not visible to the garage. This can be done by pressing the service button on your infotainment device 5 times (the system will flash to confirm this) and when you return the Ghost will automatically re-arm.

Ghost immobilisers are highly recommended for high-end automobiles. It is completely undetectable, doesn't require cutting any original factory wires, and can disable your car's engine if an incorrect pin code is entered. It is a simple, but efficient method to prevent your car being stolen, even with cloned keys. Look at social media to see how fast new vehicles can be stolen using tools for cloning available on the internet for less than PS80.

Service / Valet Mode

The Ghost is a market-leading immobiliser designed to stop your vehicle from being taken through key cloning and hacking. It makes use of the factory buttons of your vehicle to create a unique push sequence that only you can identify. It is similar to pin code security for your mobile phone. It's incredibly discreet and quiet in dissuading even the most determined thieves from ever trying!

When parked at your home or in a meeting and greet situation when you are at a meet and greet, the Ghost can be set to service mode. This lets you start the car using your keys, but it stops the engine from restarting until the correct code is entered. This is ideal for customers who must hand over their cars to valet service companies or trusted family members and friends. This allows you to bring your vehicle to the garage for servicing, etc. without worrying that it might be altered by a mechanic while you wait.

Once the valet or service mode is activated it will stop your BMW from being driven when it is first started. This stops anyone from test driving the vehicle while you are away. When you return, the vehicle will return to normal operation and prevent it from being tampered or stolen again.

Anti-Hijack

Ghost developed this discreet, unobtrusive device to combat the ever-increasing sophistication of high-tech thieves. It's designed to stop thieves from adding a new key or replacing the ECU in order to start your vehicle and drive it away. Ghost links up to your CAN data network, and utilizes the buttons in your vehicle (steering wheel and centre console as well as door panels) to create a unique push sequence which must be completed before the engine can be started.

If the anti-hijacking mode has been activated the attempt to restart the engine will be stopped. Once the system detects that the vehicle is no longer moving, it will honk the horn and flash the indicators. If it is unable to find the correct code it will also stop the engine (where it is). By entering your push sequence, or entering service mode, you can deactivate the Anti-Hijack function. This allows your vehicle to temporarily start without the need to enter PIN.

If you have an GPS device connected to your BMW it is possible to use it to disable the Anti-Hijack function to allow you to navigate using your navigation system even when the vehicle is in a parking spot. You can also use your smartphone to control the anti theft feature, as well as other functions.

This pin code needs to be selected prior to the vehicle's start. This prevents thieves from using a copied key or replacing the ECU to bypass this system.
