BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost uses CAN data bus to communicate with your vehicle. This stops thieves from replacing the ECU or installing a new lock to bypass the security system.

The Ghost is unlike other immobilisers in that it doesn't use key-fobs or LED indicators. It relies on the buttons of your vehicle to allow you to enter a unique sequence of disarming that you only know.

Stop & Start

If you've previously driven a BMW or used its stop-start feature, you may have noticed the engine continues to run for a period of 30 seconds after you release the brake pedal. This is due to the BMW engine management system continuously monitoring your vehicle for an ignition key, and if this signal is detected, it will continue to run. The Autowatch 2 Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by stopping the car whenever you push a button sequence.

This lets you enter the key push sequence that isn't found present in the standard menus for media, like volume up/down or cruise control, source or aircon on, which prevents your car from starting unless it is entered. The PIN can range between 4 and 20 digits, so it is extremely difficult for thieves to guess or break.
