It also has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start with no PIN code.
To make use of an OBD hacking device you require an operating system that is capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. These is available for less than PS100 on ebay or Amazon. You will also require a cable with OBD pins that are connected to the CAN Bus. These cables can be bought on eBay or Amazon for PS50. The cable has to be spliced into the wiring harness of your car, such as the radio wiring harness.
