Be On The Lookout For: How Ghost Immobiliser Car Is Taking Over And Wh…

BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost uses the data bus CAN to communicate with your vehicle. This prevents thieves from putting in keys or replacing the ECU to get around your security system because it requires a valid PIN code to start the engine.

The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers in that it doesn't rely on key-fobs or LED indicators. It relies on the buttons of your vehicle to let you to enter a unique sequence of disarming that only you know.

Stop & Start

If you have previously driven a brand new BMW or used the stop start feature, then you might have noticed that when you stop the engine the engine will continue to continue to run for around 30 seconds after releasing the brake pedal. The BMW engine management system continues to check the vehicle for signals emanating from the ignition key. If it detects this, the vehicle will continue to run. The Autowatch 2 Ghost is a device that can stop this by stopping the vehicle every time you hit a button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser is a unique next-generation device that does not require cutting OEM wires or installing an aftermarket alarms and key fobs. It is connected to the BMW's CAN data network and is programmed with a secure, unique PIN code that can be accessible through buttons in your car. This lets you enter the key push sequence that is not in the normal media menus, such as volume up/down and cruise control, source or aircon on that prevents your car from starting until the sequence is entered. The PIN could be between 4 and 20 digits which makes it extremely difficult for thieves to guess or crack.

We can also include the service/valet mode. This mode is activated when your vehicle is being maintained so that the Ghost is away from the garage. This can be achieved by pressing the service button on your infotainment device 5 times (the system will flash to confirm this) and then when you return the Ghost will re-arm automatically.
