RNS 315 Electronic Anti-Theft System

RNS 315 Electronic Anti-Theft System

The RNS comes with anti-theft protection, which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster.

After disconnecting the radio power supply, the RNS (Radio Navigation System) is ready for use again once the power supply is connected. The anti-theft code does not need to be entered again. 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 diagnostic tester to get the anti-theft code. The radio card and the label on the RNS (Radio Navigation System) 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.

Electronic Anti-Theft System, Deactivating

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

Using Vehicle diagnostic tester to get the anti-theft code

- Connect the Vehicle diagnostic tester.

- Select Guided Fault Finding.

- Use the GO TO button to select the "function/component selection" and the following menu options one after the other:

• Body

• Electrical Equipment

• 01 - On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capable systems

• Radio/navigation system

• Radio/navigation system functions

• Radio code inquiry

An authorization to the system will be requested: Then the operating data, the VIN and the radio serial number of the radio/navigation system will be automatically read out.

• It is possible that the Vehicle diagnostic tester will not be able to read the serial number when a new RNS is installed. In this case, enter the serial number manually. The serial number can be found on a sticker on the unit and is also stamped into the side of the RNS.

The Vehicle diagnostic tester will display the anti-theft code.

The RNS anti-theft code must not be entered manually.

Electronic anti-theft system, deactivating

- Turn on the RNS.

"SAFE" appears in the display for approximately 10 seconds, after that "1000"appears.

- Enter the correct anti-theft code using the keyboard on the input mask.

- Press the input screen to confirm in the entry.

The RNS is enabled and ready for operation.

Use the correction screen to erase an incorrect code.

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 RNS is locked for an hour. Then leave the RNS and the ignition switched on. After one hour, then the procedure for deactivating the anti-theft system can be repeated. Keep in mind: Always two attempts, after that the RNS will lock up for one hour.
