The PIN code is able to be changed to block earlier drivers or include an override code if you forget the sequence. The installer will demonstrate the procedure to accomplish this during installation. The system includes a valet mode feature that can be used to temporarily disable pin input sequences so that the garage or mechanic can work on the vehicle without having to know the pin number.
