How To Make An Amazing Instagram Video About Ghost Immobiliser Car
BMW Ghost Immobiliser
The Ghost uses CAN data bus for communication with your vehicle. This prevents thieves from adding keys or replacing the ECU to bypass your security system since it requires a correct PIN code to start the engine.
In contrast to other immobilisers, The Ghost is different from other immobilisers. Ghost doesn't use LED indications 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 ever driven a brand new BMW or used 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. The BMW engine management system continues to monitor the vehicle for signals that comes from the ignition key. When it detects this, the vehicle will continue to operate. The Autowatch 2 Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by stopping the car every time you push a button sequence.
Our BMW ghost immobiliser, a next-generation device, doesn't require cutting OEM wires or install aftermarket alarms and key fobs. It is connected to your BMW's CAN network and programmed with an encrypted, secure PIN code that can be accessible through buttons in your car. This lets you enter a specific key push sequence that isn't in the normal menus for media, such as volume up/down or source, cruise control or air conditioning on that prevents your car from starting unless it is entered. The PIN can be between 4 and 20 numbers which makes it extremely difficult for thieves to figure out or crack.
We can also add the ability to use a service/valet feature. This is activated while your car is being serviced so that the Ghost is away from the garage. You can activate this mode by pressing the service button 5 times on your infotainment system (the system will flash in confirmation) and the Ghost will automatically re-arm when you return.
High-end cars becoming more targeted than ever, we highly recommend the Ghost immobiliser to be installed. It's totally undetectable, does not require cutting any original wiring from the factory and will disable the engine of your vehicle when an incorrect pin code is entered. It is a simple but effective way to stop your car being stolen, even with cloned keys. You just need to look on social media to see how quickly brand-new vehicles are stolen using cloning equipment which is available to anyone on the web for less than PS80.
Service / Valet Mode
The Ghost is a market leading immobiliser designed to stop your vehicle from being taken by key cloning or hacking. It makes use of the factory buttons on your vehicle to generate an individual push sequence that only you know. It is similar to the pin code security on your mobile phone. It's subtle and extremely effective, not to mention stopping even the most zealous thieves from ever trying!
If you are parked at home or in a meet and greet situation the Ghost can be switched into service mode. This allows you to start the car using your keys as normal however it stops the engine from running until the proper code is entered. This is a great option for those who have to hand their cars over to valet companies or other trusted friends and family members. It also lets you bring the vehicle into the garage for repairs, maintenance etc without having to worry about it being taken away or altered by a mechanic while you are waiting.
If the service/valet mode has been activated and enabled, your BMW is unable to drive once it has been started. This stops anyone else from testing driving the vehicle while you are away. When you return, the vehicle will be restored to normal operation and prevent it from being tampered or stolen again.
The Ghost can be installed on any BMW. All you require are the correct keys, because the device does not use the original remotes, but can be used in conjunction with them.

This is an extra cost and requires a separate Bluetooth pairing.
Anti-Hijack
With hi-tech thieves becoming more advanced, the security technology is continuing to change, that's why Ghost has created this discrete and non-obtrusive immobiliser. It is designed to stop thieves from putting in an ignition key or replacing the ECU to start your vehicle and drive it off. Ghost connects to your CAN data network and uses the buttons on your vehicle (steering wheel and centre console, as well as door panels) to create a unique push sequence which must be completed before the engine can be started.
This will activate the anti-hijack feature and, once it is activated, any attempt to start the engine will be immediately blocked. Once the system detects that the vehicle is no longer moving, it will honk the horn and flash the indicators, if it is unable to locate the correct code, it will also stop the engine (where possible). The Anti-Hijack feature can be disabled by entering your push sequence or by enabling service mode, which allows your vehicle to begin and drive, without having to enter your PIN.
If you own a GPS device connected to your BMW, you can use it to disable the Anti-Hijack function so that you can continue to navigate using your navigation system even when the vehicle is in a parking spot. You can also use your smartphone to control the anti-theft feature as well as other functions.
