11 Creative Ways To Write About Bmw Ghost Immobiliser
Protect Your Vehicle With a Ghost Immobiliser
It is only natural to safeguard our vehicles because they are a source of joy and pride. The Autowatch Ghost system is a discrete immobiliser that connects to your vehicle CAN data network and operates through the ECU the car's 'brain'.
The device is similar to a PIN code on a credit card, will not allow your car to move until you enter the pin code sequence in up 20 presses.
No Key Fobs, LED Indications or LEDs to indicate its location
The Ghost Immobiliser is virtually invisible to anyone entering your vehicle as it does not use LED indicators or key fobs. The system utilizes buttons that are already in use, such as the centre console and door buttons as well as the steering wheel to generate an individual, custom-changeable pin code sequence that has to be entered before your car starts. The system can be configured to require up to 20 presses before the engine will start making it nearly impossible for criminals or cloners to hack into your vehicle.
Modern car thieves use professional diagnostic tools to determine what security systems are in place on vehicles. The Ghost, however, does not transmit any signals. Criminals can identify the type of security equipment installed in your car by using sophisticated scanners for RF as well as code-grabbing and relay attack methods. This will allow them to tamper with the immobiliser or alarm circuits to disable your security system and steal your vehicle.
The Ghost is unique from other immobilisers on the market since it is directly integrated into the CAN data network of your car or van which makes it virtually impossible to break. The system is also compatible with a number of newer vehicles that don't have integrated key fob security. It also works in all electric vehicles and can even stop the car from entering "service valet mode".
If it is installed by one of our certified engineers, we provide the TASSA confirmed guarantee to give you the peace of mind your installation is secure and of the highest standard. TASSA is an organisation which maintains and improves standards within the automotive security industry. They ensure that all their approved installers have completed DBS checks and are fully certified, insured, and trained to install the Ghost. You will also receive your Ghost emergency card, installation certification and owner guides. This will also make your vehicle eligible for a significant reduction in the cost of insurance. This is due to the fact that your vehicle will be less likely to be robbed and your insurers will have a much easier time recovering.
No Circuit Cuts
The Ghost is the original aftermarket CAN bus immobiliser that protects your vehicle like nothing else available. Unlike other aftermarket car security devices, this one isn't connected to key fobs or LEDs and works by communicating directly with the vehicle's CAN system. It will then block the ECU and prevent the engine from starting until a specific PIN is entered on the dash or steering wheel buttons (brand dependent). This makes it impossible for hackers to hack into the system using relay attacks or other methods and can't simply be disabled with several buttons as in older systems.
The system also has an Service and Valet mode that is activated when the vehicle is in the garage to service or valet parking. The vehicle can be started temporarily while working without having to use the pin code or hand over the keys. It will then stop itself when you return the vehicle.
This makes the Ghost more secure option for classic, sports or high-end cars that require battery isolation when parked for extended periods of time. It is also unnoticeable by modern technologies for RF scanning and code grabbing, making it difficult for hackers or thieves to bypass.
If you're looking for a complete vehicle security system that will not only guard against hacking and key-cloning, but can also track your vehicle in the event of theft, we recommend considering one of our S7 tracker systems which integrate seamlessly with Ghost to give you total peace of mind.

No RF Scanning
Many thieves of cars use sophisticated equipment to clone keys and steal vehicles. These systems are readily available on the internet and require no skill to operate. The Ghost immobiliser is undetectable using these cloning devices because it does not depend on RF scanning.
Instead, the system uses buttons in your car to generate an unique pin code push. This is done via the buttons that are already on your steering wheel or door panels, or on your center console. It's also a switchable number, not a pin like a remote fob, which makes it very difficult to hack.
The Autowatch Ghost is extremely secure and easy to use. It does not require smartphones and can be used with a small waterproof wireless tag, or the Apple or Android application (sold separately). You can switch to service mode using your mobile device and drive away. Then you can return the vehicle to valet mode and disable your smartphone. This is ideal for classic cars and high-end cars that are often serviced at garages of dealers.
Brand-dependent These CANBUS immobilisers are compatible with other security devices, such as alarms or trackers. This lets the user choose whether or not they would like their tracker or alarm to be the first priority over immobilisers CAN bus. This is particularly helpful in the event that you have a Thatcham approved Tracker fitted as the tracker can be activated prior to the Ghost is activated.
ghost car immobiliser utilize the cars CAN data bus to block the codes that would be transmitted to the ECU and BCM controllers using the remote keys that came with it This stops them from starting the car or triggering the engine. These systems can be used to add an extra security layer for vehicles equipped with remote controls from the factory.
If you're looking to add a new level of security for your BMW then the Autowatch Ghost is an ideal solution. It is almost impossible to spot because it is hidden within the wiring. It doesn't use LED indicators or keys-fobs, which can prevent any criminal from noticing its presence.
There are no electronic devices to be Detected
As a reputable Thatcham installer we install a new, revolutionary product by Autowatch called the Ghost Immobiliser that effectively stops Keyless Entry theft or cloning that is on the rise in modern automobiles. It is a secret system that does not rely on LED indications or key fobs. It uses the factory buttons on your car to create a pin-code push sequence that is unique to you and which is required before the vehicle is able to start or move. If this sequence is not entered correctly the car will not start or move at all. A lot of insurance companies require this device to be installed as a standard, and it can often result in a reduction in monthly premiums.
It is not necessary to cut any wires in order to install it, since it connects to the CAN bus and operates through the ECU. The device isn't detected by thieves using high-tech diagnostic tools, and cannot listen for the click of a conventional security device. Ghost Immobilisers are able to be set to a service mode, which allows your vehicle to be started without the PIN code. This is beneficial for taking it to a garage or valet parking service. The PIN code can be changed at any time to provide additional security.
The Ghost II is TASSA-approved, meaning that it is only available from installers who are certified. This gives you the highest level of security and also ensures that the Engineer who installs it is DBS verified, insured and trained.
While it is not a replacement for an alarm system, we always recommend you to combine it with other physical barriers such as crook locks and wheel clamps as well as, if possible, a hidden GPS tracker such as Meta Trak VTS to provide the highest degree of security. This is especially important if you leave your keys in the ignition when it isn't being driven because there are many methods that can be employed to trick the driver into believing that they are still in the vehicle and allow a theft to take place.
