I just turn the key and let it go...it will crank until it starts.
Great! Almost there.

After you turn your key with the engine disabled, the crank signal will be sent but because the code is turned on....nothing happens. But the crank signal is still being sent (in my car I have ~5-10 seconds). So if you punch in your code while this crank signal is still being sent, as you hit the final button on your mid, the engine will start.

If you wait to long, the crank signal stops. Type the code quickly...or you can start by using an easy number to type like 1111 if you have slow fingers.

Do you Navi or not (I don't).

It's more of a hack....but I've gotten used to it and always start my car this way now.
