BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost uses the CAN data bus for communication with your vehicle. This stops thieves from replacing the ECU or installing new locks to bypass the security system.

The Ghost is different from other immobilisers as it does not use key fobs or LED indicators. It uses the buttons on your vehicle to allow you to access to a unique disarming sequence that you can only remember.

Stop & Start

The Autowatch 2 Ghost is a device that can stop this by stopping the vehicle every time you press the button.

This allows you to enter key sequences that aren't available in the normal media menus. For instance volume up/down, source air conditioning, cruise control and more. The PIN can be between 4 and 20 characters, making it difficult for thieves to figure out.
