When replacing radio navigation system control modules, it is necessary to adapt the replaced control modules to the vehicle. If this is not performed, component protection is activated for these control modules so that they do not work or only on a highly limited basis.

Adapt the control module. Refer to ANTI-THEFT COMPONENT PROTECTION .
