Get Rid Of Ghost Immobiliser Car: 10 Reasons Why You No Longer Need It

BMW Ghost Immobiliser

The Ghost utilizes the data bus CAN to communicate with your vehicle. This stops thieves adding an additional key or replacing the ECU to get around your security system because it requires a valid PIN code to start the engine.

Unlike other immobilisers the Ghost does not use LED indicators or key-fobs. It uses the buttons on your vehicle to allow you enter a unique disarming sequence that you can only remember.

Stop & Start

If you've been in 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 have released the brake pedal. This is due to the BMW engine management system continuing to monitor your vehicle for signals from the ignition key, and once this is found it will keep running. The Autowatch 2 Ghost is a device that prevents this by stopping the vehicle every time you press the button.

Our BMW ghost immobiliser is an innovative next-generation device that does not require cutting OEM wires or adding an aftermarket alarm and key fobs.

This lets you enter an exact key-push sequence that isn't available in the usual menus for media, like volume up/down and source, cruise control or turning on air conditioning and stops your car from starting until this is entered.
