Premium 8 Electronic Anti-Theft System
Premium 8 Electronic Anti-Theft System
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
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.
Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to get the radio code. 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 number 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.
Determine the radio code using Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
- In Vehicle Diagnostic Tester , select operating mode Guided Fault Finding.
- Using the Go To button, select "Functions/Component selection" and the following menu options in sequence:
• Body
• Electrical Equipment
• 01 - On Board Diagnostic (OBD) capable systems
• Sound System
• Sound System functions
• Radio code inquiry
An authorization to the system will be requested: Then the operating data, the VIN and the radio serial number will be automatically read out.
• Sometimes the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester cannot read the radio serial number when a new radio is installed. In this case, enter the serial number manually. The serial number can be found on a sticker on the radio and is also stamped into the side of the unit.
The radio code appears in the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester display.
Enter the radio code manually into the radio.
Electronic anti-theft system, deactivating
- Switch on the Radio.
An entry mask appears.
- Enter the correct radio code using the key pad on the input mask.
- Confirm by pressing the input button.
The radio is enabled and is ready to be used.
• If the wrong code number was entered when overriding the anti-theft coding, first "SAFE" blinks in the display and "1000" appears again. You can now repeat the entire procedure one more time. The number of tries is shown in the display. If a wrong code number is entered again, the radio will lock up for approximately one hour. This lock is indicated by the word "SAFE" appearing continuously in the display. 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.
