Audio Anti-Theft System Deactivation
The audio system's anti-theft feature renders the system inoperable afterpower to the audio unit has been interrupted. Deactivating the anti-theft
function prior to performing repairs will ensure restoration of audio system
operation in case of the vehicle battery being disconnected or a loss of power
to the audio unit during repairs. Always have the ignition in the ACC position when disconnecting audio unit connectors.
The following procedures may also be used to restore audio system functions
if the anti-theft system has been activated. If the personal
code is not successfully entered in three attempts, the anti-theft disabling
feature will activate and the audio unit will then be completely inoperable.
Contact the audio unit manufacturer if this occurs.
