It has a Service/Valet Mode that allows your vehicle to start without requiring a PIN code.

To use an OBD hacking device, you'll must have a laptop that has software capable of interpreting the OBD protocol. This can be purchased for under PS100 on eBay or Amazon. You will also need a cable with OBD pins that connect to the CAN bus, these are available on eBay and Amazon for about PS50. The cable must be spliced into the wiring harness of your car, for example the radio wiring harness.

Once the hacker has gained a connection to your vehicle's OBD port, they will send diagnostics requests to the system at high baud rates which can cause CAN to crash and block systems in your car from working. This could cause your car's engine to stop or stop working.
