BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost uses CAN data bus for communication with your vehicle. This prevents thieves from replacing the ECU or putting in new locks to bypass the security system.

The Ghost is unique to other immobilisers because it doesn't rely on key fobs or LED indicators. It uses the buttons on your vehicle to let you access to a unique disarming sequence that you only know.

Stop & Start

If you have ever driven a brand new BMW or used the stop-start feature, then you might have noticed that when you stop the engine the engine continues to run for about 30 seconds after releasing the brake pedal. The BMW engine management system continues to monitor the vehicle for a signal emanating from the ignition key. Once it finds this, the vehicle will continue to run. The Autowatch 2 Ghost is a device that stops this by stopping the vehicle every time you press a button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser is an innovative next-generation device that doesn't require cutting OEM wires or adding aftermarket alarms or key fobs. It is connected to the BMW's CAN data network and is programmed with an encrypted, secure PIN code which is accessed using buttons installed in your car. This allows you to enter the key sequences which aren't accessible through the standard menus for media. For example, volume up/down or source air conditioning, cruise control, etc. The PIN can be between 4 and 20 characters, making it difficult for thieves to figure out.

In addition, we can also add a service/ valet mode to the system. This is activated when your car is scheduled for maintenance so that the Ghost is not visible to the garage. You can do this by pressing the service button five times on your infotainment device (the system will flash with confirmation) and the ghost immobiliser car will automatically arm itself when you return.

High-end cars being more targeted than ever we strongly recommend the Ghost immobiliser to be fitted. It is completely undetectable, does not require the cutting of the original factory wires and is able to shut down your car's engine if an incorrect pin code is entered. It is a simple but effective way to stop your vehicle from being stolen, even with keys that are cloned. It is all you need to do is look on social media to see how quickly brand-new vehicles can be taken by cloning equipment which is available to anyone on the web for under PS80.

Service Mode / Valet Mode

The Ghost is a top-of-the-line immobiliser that is designed to protect your vehicle from being stolen through key cloning and hacking. It works by using the factory buttons on your vehicle to create an unique sequence of pushes that only you know, much like pin code security on your mobile phone. It's incredibly secure, discreet and deterrence for even the most obstinate thieves!

If you're parked at your home or in a meeting and greet situation in a meeting and greet situation, the Ghost can be set to service mode. This allows you to start the vehicle with your keys but prevents the engine from restarting until the correct code is entered. This is perfect for those who need to hand over their cars to valet services or trusted family members and friends. It also lets you get the car into the garage for repairs, maintenance etc without having to worry about it getting tampered with or stolen by a mechanic whilst you wait.

When the service/valet mode is activated when the service/valet mode is enabled, your BMW is unable to drive once it is started. This prevents anyone else from testing driving it while you are away. Once you return, the vehicle will return to normal operation and stop it from being altered or stolen.

The Ghost can be installed on any BMW. All you need are the correct keys, since the device doesn't utilize the original remotes, but can be used in conjunction with them. We are TASSA-registered, DBS-security checked and fully certified in system installation. You can be sure that the installation will be done correctly and your Ghost device will function according to the specifications. You will also receive a certificate which you can show your insurance company. They are awestruck by these devices, and often offer substantial discounts.

If you do not want to use a smartphone or don't feel comfortable with it, we can supply an optional Bluetooth tag that can be used to disable the Ghost. This is an additional cost and requires a separate Bluetooth pairing.

Anti-Hijack

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

This will activate the anti-hijack function and, once it is activated, any attempt to start the engine will be blocked. When the system determines 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 stall the engine (where possible). The Anti-Hijack feature is cancelled by entering your push sequence, or by enabling service mode, which allows your car to temporarily begin and drive, without having to enter your PIN.

If you own an GPS device that is connected to your BMW it can be used to disable the Anti-Hijack feature, allowing you to still use the navigation system inside your car even when the vehicle is parked not being watched. If you own a smartphone, you can also hook it to your Ghost app to control the anti-hijack feature and other functions.

This is an Tassa certified product that is recognized by a majority of insurance companies. It can help to reduce the chance of your pride and joy being stolen. It is completely discrete and invisible, it won't hinder the functionality of your vehicle or require any special programming skills to install or operate. It is totally undetectable to the diagnostic tools used by thieves and is invulnerable to key cloning, as it connects to the CAN data network of your vehicle.

Remote Control

We can connect the Ghost device to your mobile application to allow remote control of keyless start and go functions. This is useful when mechanics or valets need to start your car and you have to be somewhere and not in the vicinity. The system allows you to turn the vehicle on, select drive and exit service mode without needing keys. You can also see your vehicle's location in real-time on a map on your smartphone, which is ideal for tracking your car when in motion.

The Ghost can be positioned under the dashboard or within the center console. It is completely hidden and tamperproof and does not require any extra wiring. The device is connected to the vehicles CAN Data Network (similar to an Ethernet cable) and a unique PIN code is inserted into it. The pin code must be selected before the engine starts. This prevents thieves from using a copied key or replacing the ECU to get around this system.

If the vehicle is stolen and the Ghost will go into a service mode and disables all functions unless a PIN code is entered, or you utilize the mobile app to disarm it. This feature was designed to protect your vehicle from high-tech thieves who are now utilising relay boxes to steal your car. It also stops thieves from being able to use their mobile phone to turn on your sat-nav or MP3 player to track your car!

Ghost also blocks the 'Relay-style Frequency amplification'. This is the most frequent method of stealing a car with a keyfob which has been cloned, or stolen through hacking. Ghost allows you to prevent this theft by installing a device called Secure-A Key in your vehicle. The device is installed inside the key fob of your vehicle and disconnects its battery after a couple of inactive minutes. This is possible with most modern PKE keys.

We are TASSA accredited (Tracking And Aftermarket Security Systems Association), a recognised body that some insurance companies recognize and offer discounts when you install the device. We are DBS security screened, and have been trained to install Ghost. This ensures that the work we do is completed in the highest quality. You will receive a document which you can show to your insurer to prove the installation. This will enable you to get the best price on your car insurance.
