Had a little interesting experience yesterday.
When I started the car the Radio/Sat Nav system was asking for a security code.
I ignored the request and drove off. Then stopped and switched of at the local shop to buy some stuff. When I started again all was fine. Several stop/starts later all was still fine.
I'm not concerned unless this becomes a regular event. What I'm assuming is that the Body Computer and Radio/Sat Nav failed to correctly exchange details and I guess there is no "retry" written into the code.
Anyway, if this happens to you then my suggestion is to just stop and power off the ignition, wait a moment and retry again.
As I have the code stored on my mobile phone I could have attempted to enter the code but felt happier in doing an ignition cycle rather than pandering to the glitch, screwing up and then getting locked out
