Radio navigation system RNS 510 is equipped with an electronic Comfort Antitheft system which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster.

After disconnecting the power supply, the radio navigation system is ready to be used again once the power supply is connected. The Antitheft code does not need to be entered again. The requirement is that the first activation of the electronic Antitheft system follows and that the radio navigation system is reconnected in the same vehicle.

Reactivating a locked radio navigation system is only possible by entering correct code number for electronic Antitheft system.

The Antitheft code is transmitted via the Vehicle diagnostic tester. The radio card and the label on the radio that were used in the past are no longer used.

• The Vehicle diagnostic tester must be "Online" (connected to the network) in order to get the anti-theft code and the user must be authorized to access radio codes.
