Premium Sound System

Replacement part number for radio navigation system is located on a sticker on the radio navigation system housing.

If radio navigation system is replaced, always activate antitheft coding. Refer to => Owner's Manual. Give the new code number to the customer.

If the antitheft code is not known, you can retrieve it via the known systems. You need the identification number of the radio navigation system for retrieval. It is on a sticker attached to the side of the radio unit. The identification number is also stamped in the material in the side of the radio navigation system.

If a radio navigation system from one vehicle is to be installed in another vehicle, then always make sure that radio navigation systems of both vehicles have the same replacement part number. Otherwise navigation system will malfunction since the setting of the rotation angle sensor in radio navigation system does not match the vehicle.

Before troubleshooting or servicing, the technicians must be familiar with the function and operation of the radio navigation system.

Additional information, refer to => Owner's Manual and to 199Radio Navigation System.

Antitheft coding is equipped with protection code number, refer to => Owner's Manual.
