Introduction
Dear customer,
congratulation to purchase of an unique electronic anti-theft
device for your vehicle – ATS 02. During its development, authors
have used many years of experience with BMW vehicle electronics.
Device is based on the latest technologies in field of
microcontrollers, software, data protection and cryptography.
ATS02 includes a lot of functions, which are very different to other
immobilizers on the market. Please read the inctructions very
carefully and familiarize yourself with all the device functions and
methods of control.
We wish you driving pleasure without worrying about the safety of
your vehicle and many happy miles.

Device description
Immobilizer ATS02 (Advanced Thiefproofing System) was
developed specifically for BMW vehicles in terms of increasing
theft protection and control comfort. It si a second generation of
the system based on its successfull predecessor ATS01.
The immobilizer is directly integrated in the vehicle electronic
system and for its control, only the standard BMW control
elements are used. ATS02 also contains a telematic platform with
a GPS/GLONASS positioning module and GSM/GPRS/Bluetooth
communication, so it is possible to control all its function via
a smartphone. The software of each immobilizer is secured by a
unique 128 bit asymetric encryption key, which provides the
highest level of data protection. During the development phase, a
so-called redundancy function was taken into account - in case of
break in the primary protection circuits all blocking functions are
at least doubled, while the secondary protection then provides the
same level of security as the primary. Due to this feature,
unauthorised starting of the vehicle is practically impossible.
A further safety feature of ATS02 is an additional engine start
protection via 2-digit code selectable via multifunction steering
wheel. This function prevents starting of the car also in case of
abuse of Comfort Access System. If necessary, the ATS02
automatically activates the original BMW alarm (if fitted).
The gateway to the safety of your vehicle is a personal PIN code
that you will receive after installation of the immobilizer. Keep the
code in safe and secure place as it is the only possibility to enable
your blocked vehicle. PIN code can not be read again – in the case
of loss, the only possibility is to generate a new PIN by an
authorised service technician (if a telematic verison is fitted, you
can check your PIN also via mobile application).
The development team have also considered the future. The
ATS02 software is continually evolving. Device has been designed
so that its software can be updated remotely or via OBD socket.
Individual settings according customer needs are also possible. A
standard feature of the ATS02 is the full OBD diagnosis with the
1
possibility to read the history of alarms, the use of keys, fault
memory, etc.

Immobilizer control
Activation:
a)
Lock the vehicle by mechanical key/remote control, or
b)
Lock the vehicle by door handle (only with option 322 –
Comfort access)*
If the vehicle is locked with open passenger/ rear door, or front/
rear lid, ATS will wait 15 seconds for closing it. This period is
indicated by acoustic signal in the instrument cluster.
To activate immobilizer:
During this period, close affected door or lid. Acoustic signal is
switched off and ATS01 will be activated. If the 15 seconds period
is exceeded, ATS01 will be activated in current state – even with
opened door or lid.
Note:
If the affected door or front/ rear lid is closed after 15 seconds,
ATS01 will update all the registers and the new state will be taken
as default. The acoustic signal could be cancelled also by unlocking
the vehicle by remote control or by door handle (option 322).
ATS01 is deactivated in this case.
Deactivation:
a)
Unlock the vehicle by remote control, or
b)
Unlock the vehicle by door handle (only with option 322 –
Comfort access), or
c)
Unlock the vehicle by mechanical key and during 15 seconds
insert the transponder into the starting slot (E-series) or
switch On ignition (F-series). During this period, both turn
signal indicators are flashing in the instrument cluster and
vehicle horn is activated*. If the period is exceeded, vehicle
will be automatically blocked.

Attention:
ATS02 will remain active if the vehicle is locked and rear hinged
door or tailgate is opened using the remote control.
Vehicle start:
After inserting the key/ transponder into the starting slot or
pressing the start button (option 322 – Comfort access), an
automatic data comparison of the all transponders is performed
between the vehicle and ATS02. If all the data match, an acoustic
signal sounds and turn indicators will flash once . If the data are
different, ATS02 will automatically disable the vehicle and the
yellow symbol of crossed key is displayed in the instrument cluster,
accompanied by audible alarm and alert in the central information
display.
To start the vehicle:
a)
Insert the original transponder into the starting slot, press
brake pedal and then press Start button, or
b)
Press brake pedal and then press Start button (option 322 –
Comfort access)
Service mode
Before any service work it is necessary to switch the vehicle into
service mode. In this mode all ATS02 functions are disabled and
OBD diagnostic socket is active. Service mode will remain active
even after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.
Attention!
Please always inform service personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with ATS02 system!
Activation of service mode:
a)
All vehicles: Insert the original key- transponder into the
starting slot and /or switch on the ignition (if an additional
start protection is enabled, enter also 2-digit code via

to 12.12.2005 (see vehicle owner manual)
c)
Remove transponder from the slot or switch the ignition off.
As acknowledgement, right turn indicator check light will flash
