Guide To Ghost Immobiliser Car: The Intermediate Guide For Ghost Immobiliser Car

BMW Ghost Immobiliser

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

In contrast to other immobilisers, unlike other immobilisers, the Ghost does not use LED indicators or key-fobs. Instead it uses the buttons on your vehicle to allow you to enter a unique disarm sequence that only you are aware of.

Stop & Start

If you've previously driven a BMW or used its stop-start feature, you might have noticed that 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 continuing to monitor your vehicle for an ignition key, and when this is found it will continue to run. The Autowatch 2 Ghost is a device that stops this by stopping the vehicle 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 connected to the BMW CAN data network, and is programmed with a unique PIN code that can be accessible through buttons on your car. This lets you enter key sequences that are not accessible in normal menus for media. For instance the volume up/down button, or source, cruise control, air conditioning, etc. The PIN can range between 4 and 20 digits which makes it extremely difficult for thieves to figure out or break.

In addition to this we can also add a service/ valet mode to the system. This is activated when your vehicle is being serviced so that the Ghost remains hidden from the garage. You can activate this by pressing the service button 5 times on your infotainment system (the system will flash with confirmation) and the Ghost will automatically rearm when you return.

With luxury vehicles becoming more targeted than ever, we highly recommend the Ghost 2 immobiliser immobiliser to be fitted. It's totally undetectable and doesn't require cutting any original wiring from the factory and will disable your car's engine when a wrong pin code is entered. It is a simple, but effective way to prevent your car from being stolen - even with cloned key. It is all you need to do is look on social media to see how fast brand new vehicles are stolen using cloning equipment which is available to anyone on the web for under PS80.

Service / Valet Mode

The Ghost is the most effective immobiliser ghost on the market. It stops your vehicle from being taken by hacking or key cloning. It works by utilising the factory buttons on your vehicle to create an unique sequence of pushes that only you know, much as the pin code security of your mobile phone. Its discreet and incredibly effective, not to mention deterring even the most determined thieves from ever trying!

When parked at your home or in a meeting and greet situation when you are at a meet and greet, the Ghost can be set to service mode. This allows you to start the vehicle using your keys but prevents the engine from starting again until the correct code has been entered. This is ideal for customers who have to transfer their vehicles to valet services or trusted family members and friends. It also lets you take the car to the garage for servicing etc without having to worry about it being taken away or altered by a mechanic while you are waiting.

When the service or valet mode is activated it will stop your BMW from being able to drive when it is first started. This stops anyone from testing while you are away. After you return, the car will revert to normal and prevent it from being altered or stolen.

If you don't wish to use a smartphone, or don't feel comfortable with it, we offer an optional Bluetooth tag that can be used to disable the ghost 2 immobiliser reviews. This is an additional expense and requires a new Bluetooth pairing.

Anti-Hijack

Ghost created this discrete device that is unobtrusive and helps in battling the ever-increasing sophistication of high-tech thieves. It's designed to stop thieves from acquiring a new key or replacing the ECU in order to start your car and then drive it away. Ghost is connected to your CAN network and uses buttons on your vehicle to generate a unique push-sequence that must be entered before the engine can begin.

This will activate the anti-hijack mode and, once activated any attempt to start the engine will be blocked. The system will sharpen the horn, flash the indicators and stall the vehicle if the code is not found. By entering your push sequence, or entering service mode, you can cancel the Anti-Hijack feature. This allows your vehicle to temporarily start without the need to enter a PIN.

If you own an GPS device connected to your BMW it is possible to use it to turn off the Anti-Hijack feature, so you can still use the navigation system in your car when the vehicle is parked unsupervised. You can also use your mobile phone to control the anti-theft feature as well as other functions.

It is completely undetectable by tools for detecting that thieves employ and is completely invulnerable to key cloning because it is directly connected to your vehicle's CAN data network.

Remote Control

We can connect the Ghost device with your mobile application to allow remote control of keyless start and go functions. This is helpful when you have to go somewhere other than home and valet or mechanic needs to start your car. The system allows you to start the car, select drive and exit the service mode without using your key fobs. You can also view your vehicle in real time on a map using your smartphone, which is ideal for tracking your car whilst 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 CAN Data Network of the vehicle (similar to an Ethernet cable) and a personalised pin code is programmed in it. This pin code must be selected before the vehicle starts. This prevents thieves from using a copied key or replacing the ECU to get around this system.

If your vehicle is stolen, the Ghost will enter service mode and stop all functions until you have the PIN code or can use the mobile application to disable it. This is a feature that was developed to safeguard your vehicle from high tech thieves who are now utilising relay boxes to steal your car. It will even stop the thieves from being able to use their mobile phone to activate your sat nav system or mp3 player to locate your vehicle!

Ghost also stops 'Relay Style Frequency Amplification'. This is the most popular method of stealing a vehicle using a keyfob that's cloned, or stolen through hacking. Ghost allows you to prevent this from happening by installing a device called Secure-A Key in your vehicle. The device is installed inside the key fob of your car and shuts off its battery after a couple of inactive minutes. This can be done using the most modern PKE keys.
