BMW Ghost Immobiliser

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

The Ghost is different from other immobilisers as it doesn't rely on key-fobs or LED indicators. It makes use of the buttons on your vehicle to allow you access to a unique disarming sequence that only you 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 30 seconds after you have released the brake pedal. This is due to the BMW engine management system constantly monitoring your vehicle for a signal from the ignition key, and if this signal is detected, it will keep running. The Autowatch 2 Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by stopping the car whenever you push a button sequence.

This allows you to enter the key push sequence that isn't in the normal media menus, such as volume up/down or cruise control, source or air conditioning on and stops your car from starting until the sequence is entered. The PIN can range between 4 and 20 digits and is therefore difficult for thieves to figure out or break.

We can also include the ability to use a service/valet feature. This is activated while your vehicle is being serviced to ensure that the Ghost is away from the garage.
