The Advanced Guide To Bmw Ghost Immobiliser
Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser


It is only logical to safeguard our vehicles as they are a source of pride and joy. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that connects to the vehicle CAN data network and operates through the ECU, your cars brain..

The device, which is similar to a PIN number on a credit card does not permit your car to move until you enter the pin code sequence in up 20 presses.

No key fobs, LED indicators to give away the location of the item.

The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone entering your vehicle as it does not utilize LED indicators or key fobs. The system uses buttons like the centre console, door or steering wheel to generate an unique, programmable pin code sequence that has to be entered before your vehicle will start. The system can be set to require up to 20 presses of the buttons before the engine can begin, making it nearly impossible for thieves to duplicate your key or hack your vehicle.

Modern car thieves employ professional diagnostic tools to identify which security systems are installed in vehicles, however the Ghost does not transmit any signals like conventional systems do. Criminals can recognize the type of security equipment installed in your car using sophisticated technology for RF scanning, code grabbing and relay attack methods. They can then disable the security system of your vehicle by altering the alarm or immobiliser.

Unlike other immobilisers on the market It is unique in that the Ghost is incorporated into your vehicle's CAN data network so it is nearly impossible to hack and bypass. The system is compatible with the latest cars that don't have keyfob security. It also works in all electric vehicles and will even stop the vehicle from going into "service valet mode".

When it is installed by one of our certified engineers, we provide an TASSA certified guarantee that gives you assurance that your installation is safe and of the highest standards. TASSA is a group that improves and maintains standards in the automotive security industry. They guarantee that all their approved installers have been DBS certified and fully trained and insured for Ghost installation. You will also receive your Ghost emergency card, installation certification and owner manuals. Your insurance premiums will be substantially reduced. This is because your car will be less likely to be robbed and your insurers will have a better recovery process.

No Circuit Cuts

The Ghost is an immobiliser CAN bus that will protect your vehicle more than anything else. Contrary to other aftermarket security devices, it's not connected to key fobs or LEDs and works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It will then block the ECU and prevent the engine from running until a unique PIN has been entered into the steering wheel or dash buttons (brand dependent). This makes it impossible for thieves to 'hack into the system using relay attacks or any other means and cannot be disabled by pressing the buttons a few times as in older systems.

The system also comes with the Service and Valet mode which is activated when the vehicle is in garage for servicing or valet parking. This allows the vehicle to start temporarily while being worked on without the need to hand over the keys or the pin code. It then automatically disables again after the vehicle is in your possession.

The Ghost is a more secure option for classic, sports and luxury automobiles that must be kept away from the battery when they are parked for extended periods of time. It's also undetectable by the latest technology for RF scanning and code grabbing, making it extremely difficult for thieves or hackers to evade.

If you're looking for a comprehensive vehicle security package that not only protects against key-cloning and hacking but can also track your vehicle in the event of theft then we recommend one of our S7 tracker systems that work seamlessly with the Ghost to give you total peace of mind. All of our installations are performed by a fully trained, skilled and insured TASSA certified installer. You will receive detailed demonstrations of the product prior to handover with owner's manuals, installation certification and a Ghost emergency card.

Contact us to receive an estimate and make a booking if you are interested in having a Ghost installed on your vehicle. It's often a faster option to book in advance rather than leaving it until the last minute when we are extremely busy. We will always try to get you in as soon as we can.

No RF Scanning

Many thieves of cars use sophisticated tools to copy keys and steal vehicles. These systems can be found on the internet, and require no knowledge to operate. The Ghost immobiliser is undetectable using these devices since it does not rely on RF scanning.

The system instead uses buttons on your car to create an individual pin code push. This is done via the buttons you have on your steering wheel, door panels or central console. It's also a switchable number and not a PIN like a remote fob, which makes it very difficult to hack.

ghost 2 immobiliser fitting near me makes the Autowatch Ghost very secure and extremely simple to use. It is not dependent on the smartphone and can be utilized with a small waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android app (sold separately). You simply enter into service mode using your mobile device, leave the car and then return the car to valet mode and turn off your phone. This is perfect for classic cars and prestige vehicles that are frequently taken in for service at dealer garages.

These CANBUS immobilisers can be connected to other external security products like alarms and trackers (Brand dependant). This lets the user decide whether or not they would like their alarm or tracker to be the first priority over immobilisers on CAN bus. This is particularly helpful in the event that you have a Thatcham approved Tracker fitted as the tracker can be activated before the Ghost is activated.

The CANBUS immobilisers make use of the car's CAN data bus to stop the codes that are expected to be sent to the ECU and BCM controllers using the remote keys that came with it, this hinders them from starting the car or activating the engine. These systems can also be used to add an additional layer of security to cars with factory remote controls (Brand dependent) and provide additional security for electric vehicles and those with keyless entry.

If you are looking for an upgrade in security for your BMW then the Autowatch Ghost is an ideal solution. It is nearly impossible to notice because it is hidden in the wiring. It doesn't have LED indicators or keys-fobs, which prevents the criminal from being able to detect its presence.

No Electronics Detected

As a reputable Thatcham installer, we install a new, revolutionary product by Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser. It effectively blocks Keyless Entry theft or cloning which is on the rise in modern vehicles. It is a hidden device that doesn't depend on LED indicators or key fobs. It uses the buttons that are factory-installed in your car to create a pin code push sequence that is specific to you and is required before the car can start or be moved. The car won't move or begin to start until this sequence is entered correctly. Many insurance companies now require this device to be installed as a standard and can result in a reduction in monthly premiums.

It doesn't require cutting of wires in order to be installed as it connects up to the CAN data bus and functions through the ECU (Engine Control Unit). The device cannot be detected using the kinds of diagnostic tools that thieves using high-tech employ and there is no way to detect the telltale clicking of a traditional relay, as they would in a conventional security device. Ghost Immobilisers are able to be set to operate in a service mode which allows your vehicle to be started without the PIN code. This is beneficial for transporting it to garages or valet parking service. The PIN code may be changed at any time for additional security.
