A personal PIN can be created using buttons on the dash and steering wheel. The system stops engine start and can't be re-enabled since no RF signals are emitted from the device. This makes it inaccessible to sophisticated scanning or code grabbing techniques that modern thieves employ.

The PIN code can be changed to block previous drivers or even include an override code in case you forget the sequence. The installer will demonstrate the procedure to accomplish this during installation. The system also includes the valet mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence so that your mechanic or garage can repair the car without having to know the pin code.
