BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost utilizes the CAN data bus for communication with your vehicle. This stops thieves from replacing the ECU or adding a new lock to bypass the security system.

The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers as it does not use key fobs or LED indicators. Instead it uses the buttons on your vehicle to allow you to select a unique disarm sequence that only you know.

Stop & Start

If you have ever driven a new BMW or used the stop-start feature then you may have noticed that once stopped the engine will continue to run for about 30 seconds after releasing the brake pedal. This is due to the BMW engine management system continuously monitoring your vehicle for an ignition key, and when this signal is detected, it will continue to run. The autowatch ghost 2 immobiliser 2 Ghost is a device that can stop this by stopping the vehicle every time you hit the button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser, which is a next-generation device, doesn't require cutting OEM wires or add key fobs or alarms from the aftermarket. It is connected to the BMW's CAN data network and programmed with an encrypted, secure PIN code that can be accessible via buttons that are installed in your car. This allows you to enter an exact key-push sequence that isn't available in the usual menus for media, such as volume up/down, source, cruise control or air conditioning on, which prevents your car from starting unless the sequence is entered. The PIN can range 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 your vehicle is in for servicing to ensure that the Ghost is hidden from the garage.
