Anti-theft coding The radio unit is equipped with a convenience anti-theft coding, which is effective in combination with the dash panel insert. After disconnecting the radio voltage supply, the radio operation is restored when reconnecting the voltage supply without entering the code number. The prerequisites are that the initial activation of the anti-theft coding has been performed and the radio is reconnected in the same vehicle. The anti-theft code is determined using vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051- or vehicle diagnostic and service information system -VAS 5052-. The previously related radio card and the sticker on the radio unit have been discontinued.   Note To determine the anti-theft code, vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051- or vehicle diagnostic and service information system -VAS 5052- must be connected “online” (network connection), and the user must possess valid rights for the programme for requesting radio codes.
