Guide To Ghost Immobiliser Car: The Intermediate Guide To Ghost Immobi…

BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost uses the data bus CAN to communicate with your vehicle. This prevents thieves from putting in a new key or even replacing the ECU to bypass your security system as it requires a correct PIN code to start the engine.

The ghost 2 immobiliser review is unique to other immobilisers in that it doesn't rely on key fobs or LED indicators. Instead, it makes use of your vehicle's existing buttons to allow you to enter a unique disarm sequence that you only are aware of.

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. The BMW engine management system continues to monitor the vehicle for a signal that comes 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 push a button sequence.

Our BMW ghost 2 immobiliser review immobiliser, which is a next-generation device, does not require you to cut OEM wires or to add keys or alarms that are made by an aftermarket company. It is connected to your BMW's CAN network and programmed with a secure, unique PIN code which is accessible via buttons that are installed in your car. This allows you to enter the key push sequence that isn't available in the usual menus for media, such as volume up/down or source, cruise control or aircon on, which prevents your car from starting until it is entered. The PIN could be between 4 and 20 digits, so it is extremely difficult for thieves to determine or break.

We can also add to the system the ability to use a service/valet feature. This mode is activated when your vehicle is being serviced to ensure that the Ghost is hidden from the garage. This can be achieved by pressing the service button on your infotainment system 5 times (the system will flash to confirm this) and when you return, the ghost immobilisers will re-arm automatically.
