BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost utilizes the data bus CAN to communicate with your vehicle. This stops thieves adding an additional key or replacing the ECU to bypass your security system since it requires a correct PIN code to start the engine.

The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers because it doesn't rely on key-fobs or LED indicators. Instead, it makes use of the buttons on your vehicle to allow you to select a unique disarm sequence that only you are aware of.

Stop & Start

If you've previously driven a BMW or used its stop-start feature you may have noticed the engine continues to run for about 30 seconds after you have released the brake pedal. The BMW engine management system continues to watch the vehicle for signals coming from the ignition key. When it detects this the vehicle will continue to operate. The Autowatch 2 ghost 2 immobiliser review immobiliser reviews (gwwa.yodev.net) immobiliser prevents this from happening by stopping the car whenever you push a button sequence.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser is a unique next-generation device that doesn't require cutting OEM wires or adding an aftermarket alarm and key fobs. It is hooked up to your BMW's CAN data network and programmed with an encrypted, secure PIN code which is accessible via buttons that are installed in your car. This allows you to enter a specific key push sequence that isn't found available in the usual media menus, such as volume up/down or source, cruise control or air conditioning on, which prevents your car from starting unless this is entered. The PIN can be between 4 and 20 characters, making it difficult for thieves to guess.

We can also add to the system the ability to use a service/valet feature. This is activated while your car is being serviced so that the Ghost is kept from view by the garage. This can be achieved by pressing the service button on your infotainment system 5 times (the system will flash to confirm this) and when you return, the Ghost will re-arm automatically.

With high-end vehicles being more prone to being targeted than ever before, we strongly recommend the Ghost immobiliser to be installed. It is totally undetectable, does not require cutting the original factory wires and can disable the engine of your vehicle when an incorrect pin code is entered. It's a simple but efficient method to prevent your car from being stolen even with cloned keys.

Anti-Hijack

It will also stall the vehicle if the code is not found.
