10 Things We All Love About Ghost Immobiliser Car

BMW ghost immobiliser london Immobiliser

The Ghost uses CAN data bus for communication with your vehicle. This stops thieves from replacing the ECU or adding an additional lock to circumvent the security system.

In contrast to other immobilisers, The Ghost is different from other immobilisers. Ghost does not use LED indicators or key fobs. Instead, it makes use of the buttons in your vehicle to allow you to enter a unique disarm sequence that only you know.

Stop & Start

If you've ever driven a brand new BMW or used the stop-start feature, you may have noticed that when you stop the engine the engine will still continue to run for around 30 seconds after you release the brake pedal. The BMW engine management system continues to watch the vehicle for a signal coming from the ignition key. Once it finds this the vehicle will continue to operate. The Autowatch 2 Ghost immobiliser prevents this from happening by stopping the car whenever you press a button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser is a unique next-generation device that does not require cutting OEM wires or adding aftermarket alarms or key fobs. It is hooked up to your BMW's CAN data network and programmed with a secure, unique PIN code that is accessible through buttons in your car. This allows you to enter the key sequences which aren't available in the normal media menus. For example, volume up/down or source, cruise control, air conditioning etc. The PIN could be between 4 and 20 digits which makes it extremely difficult for thieves to determine or crack.

We can also include 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 do this by pressing the service button five times on your infotainment device (the system will flash with confirmation) and the Ghost will automatically arm itself when you return.

With luxury vehicles being more prone to being targeted than ever before, we highly recommend the Ghost immobiliser to be fitted. It is totally undetectable, does not require cutting any original factory wires, and has the ability to disable your car's engine if an incorrect pin code is entered. It's a simple but efficient method to prevent your car from being stolen even with keys that are cloned. You just need to browse social media to see how quickly brand new vehicles are stolen using equipment for cloning that is accessible to anyone online for under PS80.

Service / Valet Mode

The Ghost is a top-of-the-line immobiliser ghost (Recommended Web site) that is designed to protect your vehicle from being taken through key cloning and hacking. It works by utilizing the factory buttons on your vehicle to create an individual sequence of pushes which only you know, much like the pin code security on your mobile phone. It's subtle and extremely effective and deterring even the most determined thieves from ever trying!

If you are parked at home or in a meet and greet situation when you are at a meet and greet, the Ghost can be set to service mode, which allows you to start your car using your keys as normal but stops the engine from being started again unless the correct code is entered. This is ideal for those who need to hand their cars to valet businesses or other trusted friends & family members. It also lets you bring the vehicle into the garage for servicing etc without having to worry about it getting taken away or altered by a mechanic while you wait.

Once the service / valet mode is activated it will block your BMW from being able to be driven once started, this prevents anyone from attempting to test drive the vehicle while you are away. Once you return, the car will be restored to normal operation and prevent it from being altered or stolen.

The Ghost can be installed on any BMW. All you require 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 system-trained so you can be sure of the quality of our installation and that your new Ghost device will function exactly as you want it to.

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

Anti-Hijack

Ghost created this discrete device that is unobtrusive and helps in battling the increasing sophistication of hi-tech thieves. It is designed to stop thieves from using an ignition key or replacing the ECU to start your car and drive it off. Ghost connects to your CAN data network and uses the buttons within your vehicle (steering wheel, centre console and door panels) to create a unique push sequence which must be entered 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 stopped. If the system detects that the vehicle is no longer moving, it will honk the horn and flash the indicators. If it is not able to locate the correct code, it will also stall the engine (where possible). By entering your push sequence, or entering service mode, you can disable the Anti-Hijack function. This allows your vehicle to temporarily start without entering the PIN.

If you have an GPS device linked up to your BMW it can be used to disable the Anti-Hijack feature, allowing you to still use the navigation system in your car when the vehicle is parked and not being watched. You can also use your mobile phone to control the anti theft feature and other functions.

This is a Tassa verified product and is recognized by the majority of insurance companies. It will also help reduce the chance of your prized possessions being stolen.

Remote Control

We can connect the Ghost device to your mobile app to enable remote control of keyless start and go functionality. This is helpful if you are other than home and a mechanic or valet needs to start your car. The system will allow you to turn the car on and off, then select drive and leave service mode without having keys. You can also view your vehicle in real time on a map displayed on your smartphone, ideal for tracking your car whilst in motion.

The Ghost can be positioned on the dashboard or within the centre console. It is completely hidden, tamperproof, and doesn't require any additional wiring. The device is connected to the vehicle's CAN Data Network (similar to an Ethernet cable) and a personal PIN code is embedded into it. This pin code needs to be selected prior to the vehicle's start. This prevents thieves from using a copied key or replacing the ECU in order to disable this system.

If the vehicle is stolen the Ghost will go into service mode and shut down all functions unless you have the PIN code or can use the mobile application to disable it. This feature was developed to safeguard your vehicle from high-tech criminals who are using relay boxes to steal your car. It will even stop the thieves from being able to use their mobile phone to turn on your sat nav or MP3 player to locate your car!

Ghost can also stop the 'Relay Style Frequency Amplifier'. This is the most frequent way a car is being taken away with a key-fob that has been cloned or stolen by hacking. Ghost enables you to prevent this by installing an anti-theft device within your vehicle, called Secure-A-Key. The device installs inside the key-fob in your vehicle and disconnects the battery after a short period of inactivity, this can be done on the majority of modern PKE key-fobs.
