Yeh I disconnected it installed everything and then connected it and started like normal. I'm pretty sure it have me like 5 starts without using my pin code to start it (so you can give it to someone to work on and not give them your code). It would flash 5 on the pad and start. Then the next time it would flash 4 then 3 etc. so you knew how many starts were left. I'm pretty sure once I put my code in it went to normal or I had to start it 5 times I cant remember.
