How to deactivate the Code ?
 

Hello,
I disconnect the battery and then after reconnecting the alarm system went on and I received CODE error -emergency deactivation on my navigation boardmonitor (the code was probably entered wrong 3 times). I cannot start the engine now. How can I deactivate the Code?
Here is what I tried already:
I disconnect the battery and wait few minutes. After reconnecting the alarm system went on. I turned off the alarm, then I turned the ignition key to position 1. A ten-minute countdown appears but it stops on 9:59…and then nothing, I still cannot start the engine, maybe I should wait until the alarm sound will stop by it self???



Thanks

you can find something about Extended Im Function in your manual, pages 91-92

It says that the alarm will sound. Is that means that I should not pay attention to the sound just turn the key to position 1?

Same problem
 

I had the same problem, I had to get towed to the dealer, they discovered my instrument cluster had gone bad. Sorry. Oh it does not matter what code you put in, if you were to activate the code, you put it in then shut the X off. Also if you want to play with it, it is easy to disconnect the siren, one loosened bolt and one disconnect. I spent hours on this and went through all of the 4 digit numbers. Still towed to the dealer.
