BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost uses CAN data bus to communicate with your vehicle. This stops thieves adding keys 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 relies on the buttons of your vehicle to allow you to enter a unique sequence of disarming that only you 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 30 seconds after you release the brake pedal. The BMW engine management system continues to check the vehicle for a signal that comes from the ignition key. When it detects this the vehicle will continue to run. The Autowatch 2 Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by stopping the car whenever you push a button sequence.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser is a revolutionary next-generation device that does not require cutting OEM wires or adding aftermarket alarms or key fobs. It is connected to the BMW CAN data network, and is programmed with a unique PIN code which is accessed by buttons in your car. This allows you to enter a specific key push sequence that isn't in the normal media menus, such as volume up/down or source, cruise control or air conditioning on and stops your car from starting unless this is entered. The PIN can range between 4 and 20 numbers which makes it extremely difficult for thieves to guess or break.

In addition, we can also add a service or valet mode to the system. This is activated when your car is being serviced so that the Ghost remains hidden from the garage. You can activate this by pressing the service button 5 times on your infotainment unit (the system will flash with confirmation) and the Ghost will automatically arm itself when you return.

If the service/valet mode has been activated and enabled, your BMW will not be able to drive after it has been turned on.
