On my E53 I thought this was a one-time code (4-digit) entered by the owner before locking the car and it needed to be reentered to unlock everything again. It only ever came up if manually selected from the Nav head unit. No idea why you’ve got it with a flat battery.
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
