It comes with a Service/Valet mode that allows your vehicle to start without the PIN code.
You will also need an OBD cable that has OBD pins that are connected to the CAN bus. These cables are available on Amazon/Ebay for around PS50. You will also require a cable with OBD pins connected to the CAN Bus. These cables are available on eBay or Amazon for PS50. You then need to splice the cable into the wire harness of your vehicle, for example, in the radio wiring harness.
