Electronic Anti-Theft System 

The radio has a anti-theft protection, which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster.

After disconnecting the power supply to the radio, it is ready for use and 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 the 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, then the radio code must be entered.

Deactivating electronic anti-theft system, refer to ELECTRONIC ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM, DEACTIVATING .

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. During this time, diagnostic devices must not be connected or disconnected.

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 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. Refer to ELECTRONIC ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM, DEACTIVATING .
