BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost utilizes the CAN data bus to communicate with your vehicle. This prevents thieves from replacing the ECU or putting in an additional lock to circumvent the security system.

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

Stop & Start

If you have ever driven a brand new BMW or used the stop-start feature then you may have noticed that when you stop the engine the engine will still continue to run for around 30 seconds after you release the brake pedal. This is due to the BMW engine management system continuously monitoring your vehicle for a signal from the ignition key, and once this signal is detected, it will keep running. The Autowatch 2 Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by stopping the car whenever you press a button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser is a revolutionary next-generation device that does not require cutting OEM wires or installing an aftermarket alarms and key fobs. 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 allows you to enter the key push sequence that isn't found available in the usual menus for media, like volume up/down, cruise control, source or air conditioning on, which prevents your car from starting until it is entered. The PIN can be between 4 and 20 numbers which makes it extremely difficult for thieves to determine or crack.

In addition, we can also add a service/ valet mode to the system. This is activated when the car is scheduled for maintenance so that the Ghost is hidden from 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 automatically arm again.

Ghost immobilisers are highly recommended for top-of-the-line automobiles. It is totally undetectable, does not require the cutting of the original factory wires and can disable the engine of your vehicle when an incorrect pin code is entered. It's a simple but effective way to stop your car from being stolen even with keys that are cloned. Take a look at social media accounts to see just how quickly new vehicles are stolen with tools for cloning accessible on the internet for less than PS80.

Service Mode / Valet Mode

The Ghost is the most effective immobiliser available. It protects your vehicle from being taken by hacking or key cloning. It works by using the vehicles factory buttons to create a unique sequence of pushes that only you can recognize, similar to like pin code security on your mobile phone. It's subtle, extremely effective and can deter even the most obstinate thieves!

If you are parked at home or in a meet and greet situation when you are at a meet and greet, the Ghost can be set to service mode. This allows you to start your car with your keys in the normal way, but stops the engine from running until the correct code is entered. This is a great option for those who have to hand their cars over to valet services or other trusted friends & family members. It also lets you get the car into the garage for servicing etc without having to worry about it being damaged or stolen by a mechanic while you wait.

Once the service/valet mode is enabled and enabled, your BMW will not be able to drive after it is started. This prevents anyone else from driving the vehicle while you are away. Once you return it will return to normal driving, stopping your car stolen with ghost immobiliser (www.plantsg.com.sg) from being tampered with or stolen again.

If you don't wish to use a smartphone, or are not comfortable with it, we can provide an optional Bluetooth tag that can be used to turn off the Ghost. This is an additional cost and requires a new Bluetooth pairing.

Anti-Hijack

With hi-tech thieves becoming more and more sophisticated, the security technology is continuing to change, that's why Ghost has developed this discreet and unobtrusive immobiliser. It is designed to stop thieves from adding a new key or replacing the ECU in order to start your car and then drive it away. Ghost connects to your CAN data network and utilizes the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel and centre console, as well as door panels) to create an individual push sequence that needs to be completed before the engine can be started.

When the anti-hijacking feature is activated, any attempt to restart the engine will be stopped. If the system detects that the vehicle is no longer moving, it will honk the horn and flash the indicators, if it fails to find the correct code it will also stop the engine (where possible). By entering your push sequence or entering service mode, you can disable the Anti-Hijack function. This allows your vehicle to be temporarily started without having to enter the PIN.

If you have a GPS device that is connected to your BMW and you want to use it to disable the Anti-Hijack function to allow you to navigate using your navigation system even when the vehicle is in a parking spot. If you own a smart-phone, you can also hook it to your Ghost app to control the anti-hijack feature and other functions.

This product is Tassa-certified and recognized by most insurance companies. It will decrease the risk of your joy and pride being stolen. It is completely discreet and will not affect the functionality of your vehicle. It doesn't require any programming expertise to install or use. It is completely undetectable to the tools used by thieves for diagnosing and is invulnerable to key cloning, as it connects to your vehicle's CAN data network.

Remote Control

We can connect the ghost immobiliser range rover device to your mobile app to enable remote control of keyless start and go capabilities. This is useful when you have to go somewhere else and valet or mechanic need to start your vehicle. The system allows you to start the vehicle by selecting drive, then leave the service mode without using your key fobs. You can also see your vehicle in real time on a map on your smartphone, ideal to track your car while moving around.

The Ghost can be placed on the dashboard or in the centre console. It is completely hidden and tamper-proof. It doesn't require any additional wiring. The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN Data Network (similar to an Ethernet cable) and a unique PIN code is programmed into it. The pin code must be selected before the engine starts. This stops thieves from using a copied key or replacing the ECU to get around this system.

If the vehicle is stolen in any way, the Ghost will enter a service mode that disables all functions unless the PIN code is entered, or you can make use of the mobile app to dearm it. This feature was developed to safeguard your vehicle from high-tech thieves who employ relay boxes to take it. This will stop thieves from using mobile phones to activate your sat-nav or mp3 players to track your vehicle!

Ghost also blocks the 'Relay-style Frequency amplification'. This is the most typical method of preventing a vehicle from being stolen with a key-fob that has been cloned or stolen by hacking. Ghost allows you to stop this by installing an anti-theft device in your vehicle called Secure-A-Key. The device is installed inside the key fob of your vehicle and shuts off its battery after a few inactive minutes. This can be done using the most modern PKE keys.
