An Ghost Immobiliser Car Success Story You'll Never Be Able To

BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost utilizes the CAN data bus to communicate with your vehicle. This stops thieves from replacing the ECU or putting in a new lock to bypass the security system.

In contrast to other immobilisers, The Ghost is different from other immobilisers. 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 BMW or utilized its stop-start feature, you might have noticed that the engine continues to run for about 30 seconds after you release the brake pedal. The BMW engine management system continues to watch the vehicle for signals emanating from the ignition key. If it detects this the vehicle will continue to operate. The Autowatch 2 Ghost is a device that can stop this by stopping the vehicle whenever you hit the button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser, a next-generation device, does not require you to cut OEM wires or install key fobs or alarms from the aftermarket. It is connected to the BMW CAN data network, and is programmed with an unique PIN code which is accessed by buttons in your car. This lets you enter key sequences that are not available in the normal menus for media. For instance the volume up/down button, or source controls, air conditioning, cruise control and more. The PIN is between 4 and 20 characters, making it hard for thieves to figure out.

In addition to this we can also add a service / valet mode to the system.
