12 Companies That Are Leading The Way In Ghost Immobiliser Car

BMW Ghost Immobiliser

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

The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers because it doesn't use key-fobs or LED indicators. It makes use of the buttons on your vehicle to allow you to enter a unique sequence of disarming that you only know.

Stop & Start

If you've been in a BMW or used its stop-start feature you may have noticed the engine continues to run for a period of 30 seconds after you release the brake pedal. The BMW engine management system continues to check the vehicle for a signal coming from the ignition key. Once it finds this, the vehicle will continue to run. The Autowatch 2 Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by stopping the car when you press a button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser, which is a next-generation device, doesn't require you to cut OEM wires or to add keys or alarms that are made by an aftermarket company. It is connected to your BMW's CAN network and programmed with a secure, unique PIN code which is accessible via buttons that are installed in your car. This allows you to enter a specific key push sequence that is not present in the standard menus for media, such as volume up/down or cruise control, source or aircon on and stops your car from starting until this is entered. The PIN can be between 4 and 20 numbers and is therefore difficult for thieves to determine or break.

In addition to this we can also add a service/ valet mode to the system, this is activated when your vehicle is being serviced to ensure that the Ghost is hidden 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 2 immobiliser installation will automatically re-arm.

Ghost immobilisers are highly recommended for top-of-the-line automobiles. It's totally undetectable, does not require cutting any factory wiring and can disable your car's engine if an incorrect pin code is entered. It's a simple but effective method to stop your vehicle from being stolen, even with cloned keys. Check out social media sites to see how quickly new vehicles can be stolen by using cloning tools that are available on the internet for less than PS80.

Service Mode / Valet Mode

The Ghost is a market leading immobiliser designed to stop your vehicle from being taken through key cloning and hacking. It works by utilising the vehicles factory buttons to create an individual sequence of pushes that only you know, much as the pin code security of your mobile phone. It's incredibly secure, discreet and deters even the most obstinate thieves!

If you're parked at your home or in a meet and greet in a meeting and greet situation, the Ghost can be set to service mode. This allows you to start the car using your keys, but stops the engine from restarting until the correct code has been entered. This is great for customers who must transfer their vehicles to valet service companies or trusted family members and friends. It also allows you to bring the vehicle into the garage for repairs, maintenance etc without having to worry about it getting taken away or altered by a mechanic while you wait.

If the service/valet mode has been activated, your BMW will not be able to drive once it has been turned on. This prevents anyone else from driving it while you're away. When you return, the vehicle will return to normal operation and will not be damaged or stolen.

We also have an optional Bluetooth tag that can be used to disable the Ghost through an app on your phone (IOS & Android) or in the event that you don't own an iPhone or aren't happy using it, simply press the emergency card once. This is an additional cost and requires a separate Bluetooth pairing.

Anti-Hijack

With high-tech thieves becoming more and more sophisticated the security technology has to improve, which is why Ghost has created this discrete and discreet immobiliser. It is designed to prevent thieves from putting in a key or replacing the ECU to start your vehicle and drive off. Ghost links up to your CAN data network and uses the buttons within your vehicle (steering wheel, centre console and door panels) to create a unique push sequence which needs to be entered before the engine can be started.

If the anti-hijacking mode has been activated, any attempt to restart the engine will be blocked. Once the system detects that the vehicle has stopped moving it will honk the horn and flash the indicators, in case it fails to locate the correct code, it will also stall the engine (where it is). By entering your push sequence, or entering service mode, you can disable the Anti-Hijack feature. This allows your vehicle to be temporarily started without the need to enter a PIN.

If you have an GPS device that is connected to your BMW it can be used to cancel the Anti-Hijack feature, so you can still use the navigation system inside your car even when the vehicle is parked unsupervised. You can also use your smartphone to control the anti theft feature and other functions.

The Ghost can be positioned under the dashboard or within the centre console, it is completely secure and untouchable and doesn't require any additional wiring. The device is connected to CAN Data Network of the vehicle (similar to Ethernet cable) and a personal pin code is inserted into it. This pin code needs to be chosen before the vehicle is started. This will prevent thieves from gaining access to the system by using an unauthorized clone or replacement ECU.

If the vehicle is stolen in any way, the Ghost will go into a service mode that disables all functions until the PIN code is entered, or you use the mobile app to disarm it. This feature was designed to protect your vehicle from thieves with high-tech equipment who utilize relay boxes to steal it. It also prevents thieves from using their mobile phone to turn on your sat nav or mp3 player to locate your car!

Ghost also stops "Relay Style Frequency Amplification". This is the most typical method of preventing a vehicle from being stolen using a key fob that has been cloned or stolen through hacking. Ghost can help you avoid this by installing an anti-theft device within your vehicle that is called Secure-A Key. The device is inserted into your vehicle's key-fob and will disconnect the battery after a short period of inactivity. This can be done on the majority of modern PKE key-fobs.
