BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost uses the CAN data bus to communicate with your vehicle. This stops thieves adding a new key or even replacing the ECU to get around your security system because it requires a valid PIN code to start the engine.

Like other immobilisers, The Ghost is different from other immobilisers. Ghost does not use LEDs or key-fobs. It uses the buttons on your vehicle to let you to enter a unique sequence of disarming that only you know.

Stop & Start

If you have previously driven a brand new BMW or utilized the stop start feature then you may have noticed that after stopping the engine will still run for about 30 seconds after releasing the brake pedal. This is due to the BMW engine management system constantly monitoring your vehicle for a signal from the ignition key, and when this is found it will keep running. The Autowatch 2 Ghost is a device that prevents this by stopping the vehicle every time you press a button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser, which is a next-generation device, doesn't require cutting OEM wires or add keys or alarms that are made by an aftermarket company. It is connected to the BMW CAN data network, and is programmed with a unique PIN code that can be accessible via buttons in your car. This allows you to enter key sequences that are not accessible in normal media menus. For instance, volume up/down or source controls, cruise control, air conditioning, etc. The PIN is between 4 and 20 characters, making it very difficult for thieves to figure out.

We can also include the ability to use a service/valet feature. This mode is activated when your car is being serviced so that the Ghost is away from the garage. This can be accomplished 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 re-arm automatically.
