Stop & Start

If you've ever driven a BMW or used its stop-start feature you might have noticed that the engine continues to run for 30 seconds after you release the brake pedal.

This allows you to enter the key sequences which aren't accessible through the standard media menus. For example the volume up/down button, or source cruise control, air conditioning, etc. The PIN is between 4 and 20 characters, making it very difficult for thieves to guess.
