The anti-theft coding must be activated for the first time and the radio navigation system must be connected in the same vehicle.

Use the Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (VAS 5051B) to get the radio code. The radio card and the label on the radio/navigation system that were used in the past are no longer used.

The Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (VAS 5051B) must be online (connected to the network) in order to get the radio code and the user must be authorized to access radio codes.

Electronic Anti-Theft System, Deactivating

Reactivating a locked radio navigation system is only possible by entering correct radio code number for anti-theft protection.
