Premium III

"Premium III" Up To 10.97 Anti-Theft Security Code, Inputting

The security code is "fixed", meaning the radio is programmed by the radio manufacturer to accept only one code. This code must be input during the new vehicle delivery inspection, into newly installed or existing units that have been removed and reinstalled.

Prerequisites:
- Obtain security code, either from code card or from customer.
- Fuse 37 OK (S 237 in wiring diagram)

Inputting code/cancelling electronic lock-up
- Switch on radio
- "SAFE" appears in radio display
- Press "Seek" and "Scan" buttons
simultaneously until radio display indicates "1000".


NOTE: Release the "Seek" and "Scan" buttons immediately after "1000" appears in display. Do Not continue to hold buttons down or press them again. This may cause the radio to consider 1000 to be the input code number.


- Input the security code found on the radio card using the station preset buttons on the radio. Button "1" corresponds to the first number in the security code, "2" the second and so on. Press the applicable button repeatedly until the desired number appears in the display (eg : Press button "2" three times if the second number in the code is 3).


NOTE: For technical reasons, the first number in the security code can only be a "1" or left blank. The following three digits may be any number from 1 to 9.


- When the entire code has been input and appears on the display, press "Seek" and "Scan" buttons simultaneously.

The code is input properly when the display indicates "SAFE" and then a radio frequency (ready for use). When the radio is switched off and the ignition key removed, a flashing LED on the radio faceplate indicates the radio is security protected.

Incorrect code number
If an incorrect code is entered, "SAFE" will appear in the display (first blinking and then continuous) and the radio will not function. The entire coding procedure can only be repeated one more time immediately (the number of attempts is displayed).

If during the second attempt an incorrect code is entered, the radio will lock-up for approximately one hour. Leave radio switched on for 1 hour and attempt coding again when the number of attempts on display goes out (ensure proper code is available).

Cycle: 2 attempts - 1 hour lock-up still applies.
