Setting Radio Anti-Theft Feature



Theftlock is a security feature which can be used or ignored. If ignored, the radio assembly will play normally. If used, the radio assembly will be useless if stolen because it won't turn on.

The instructions below explain how to enter a security code into the system. If the vehicle loses battery power for any reason, the security code must be entered again before the system will turn on.

1. Write down any number from 000 to 1999 and keep it in a safe place.
2. Turn ignition switch to the "ACCESSORY" or "RUN" position.
3. Turn audio system off.
4. Press and hold push buttons "1" and 4" together until "- - -" shows on the display.
You are now ready to enter the security code, pausing no more than 15 seconds between steps.
5. Press "MIN" and "000" will appear on the display.
6. Press "MIN" again and hold until the last two digits of the code appear. Release button.
7. Press "HR" until the first one or two digits of the code appear.
8. Press "AM/FM"; "rEP" will appear on the display.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 7.
10. Press "AM/FM"; "SEC" will appear on the display. This means that the audio system is secured.

The indicator light will also flash when the ignition is off. If the display shows "- - -", the verification steps were not successful and the entire sequence must be done over.
