Anti-Theft Coding

The Radio -R- is equipped with anti-theft coding, which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster.

After disconnecting the radio power supply, the Radio -R- is ready for use again once the power supply is connected. The anti-theft code does not need to be entered again. The requirement is that the anti-theft coding must be activated for the first time and that the Radio -R- is reconnected in the same vehicle.

Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to get the anti-theft code. The radio card and the label on the Radio -R- that were used in the past are no longer used.

The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester must be connected "online" to determine the anti-theft code. The user must have the proper authorization to access the anti-theft code.

Reactivating a locked Radio -R- is only possible by entering correct anti-theft code for anti-theft coding.
