Electronic Anti-Theft System
The radio has a anti-theft protection, which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster.
After disconnecting the radio power supply, the radio is ready for use again once the power supply is connected. The radio code does not need to be entered again. The requirement is that the first activation of the anti-theft system follows and that the radio is reconnected in the same vehicle.
Notes regarding function
After first activation of the anti-theft system, an internal radio code is stored in radio and in instrument cluster. Now, if the power supply to the radio should be cut off while doing other work (for example, removing the radio or the battery), the data will be exchanged between the radio and the instrument cluster when the power supply is connected again.
During this, the internal radio code is compared to the one in the instrument cluster. If the radio code is identical, the instrument cluster recognizes that the radio connected belongs to that vehicle and the radio can be used immediately. The radio code does not need to be entered again.
If the radio is replaced, radio code must be entered.
Deactivating electronic anti-theft system, refer to.
Then, after the S-contact is switched on via the ignition lock, the comparison between instrument cluster and radio is started automatically.
The comparison lasts approximately 5 seconds. Do not connect any diagnostic devices during this time or have any diagnostic devises connected.
When the power supply is disconnected, the radio is ready for use in this vehicle once the power supply is connected. The radio code does not need to be entered again.
The anti-theft coding is activated and locks the radio as soon as:
• The radio is installed in a different vehicle.
• the instrument cluster is replaced.
The radio has been locked by the anti-theft protection. After switching on the radio "SAFE" and "1000" will appear in the display.
To cancel the lock, deactivate the anti-theft protection.
Electronic Anti-Theft System, Deactivating
Reactivating a locked radio is only possible by entering correct radio code number for anti-theft protection.
• The radio code for the anti-theft system is attached to the radio card next to the serial number. Refer to the Owner's Manual.
• For reasons of safety, do not leave the radio card in the vehicle. Get the radio code from the customer.
• If a radio is being replaced, then use the radio code of the replacement radio.
• Inform the customer the radio code has been changed.
- Get the radio code of the radio.
- Switch on the radio.
The radio automatically displays "SAFE" and then "1000".
- Enter the radio code using the radio station buttons 1 through 4. Use the first radio station button to enter the first digit of the radio code. Use the second radio station button to enter the second digit.
- Press the radio station button under the "OK" appearing in the display (is normally last station button) and hold firmly until anti-theft protection is activated. This is indicated by a short signal sound.
If the radio code has been entered correctly into radio, a radio frequency appears on the display.
• If the radio code has been entered incorrectly, it can be corrected immediately in another attempt. If radio code is entered incorrectly twice, then the radio will lock up for one hour. The radio can then be switched on and insert the key in ignition lock. After one hour, then the procedure for deactivating the anti-theft system can be repeated. Keep in mind: Always two attempts, after that the radio will lock up for one hour.
