BMW Ghost Immobiliser

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

In contrast to other immobilisers, the Ghost does not use LEDs or key-fobs. Instead it uses the buttons on your vehicle to allow you to select a unique disarm sequence 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 have released the brake pedal. This is due to the BMW engine management system continuing to monitor your vehicle for a signal from the ignition key, and if this signal is detected, it will keep running. The Autowatch 2 Ghost is a device that stops this by stopping the vehicle whenever you press the button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser, which is a next-generation device, doesn't require cutting OEM wires or install key fobs or alarms from the aftermarket. It is connected to your BMW's CAN network and programmed with a secure, unique PIN code that can be accessed using buttons installed in your car. This lets you enter a specific key push sequence that isn't found present in the standard menus for media, like volume up/down and cruise control, source or air conditioning on, which prevents your car from starting unless it is entered. The PIN is between 4 and 20 characters, making it difficult for thieves to figure out.

We can also add to the system a service/valet mode. This mode is activated when your vehicle is being serviced to ensure that the Ghost is kept from view by the garage. This can be done by pressing the service button on your infotainment system 5 times (the system will flash to confirm this) and then when you return the Ghost will automatically re-arm.
