BMW Ghost Immobiliser

Stop & Start

If you have previously driven a brand new BMW or used the stop start feature, then you might have noticed that after stopping the engine continues to run for about 30 seconds after you release the brake pedal.

This allows you to enter key sequences that are not available in the normal menus for media. For example volume up/down, source, cruise control, air conditioning etc. The PIN could be between 4 and 20 numbers which makes it extremely difficult for thieves to determine or crack.
