The PIN code sequence can be altered anytime you want to lock out previous drivers and even includes an override code in the event of a sequence that is not remembered. When installing, the installer will demonstrate how to do this. The system also has the option of a valet mode that can be used to temporarily disable the pin input sequence so that your mechanic or garage can repair the car without needing to know the code.
