Determining anti-theft code of anti-theft coding via VAS tester:
Select „Guided functions“ in vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051- or vehicle diagnosis and service information system -VAS 5052-.
or
Select „Guided fault finding“ in vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051- or vehicle diagnosis and service information system -VAS 5052-.
After all control units have been read:

–  Select „Function/Component selection“.
–  Select „Body“.
–  Select „Electrical system“.
–  Select „01 - On Board Diagnostic (OBD)“.
–  Select „Radio navigation system“.
–  Select „Functions“.
–  Select and start „Radio code request“.
Your system rights are then determined. The operating data, the chassis number and the unit number of the radio or radio navigation system are then read out automatically.
  Note
When installing radio units or radio navigation systems which are new or have not yet been adapted to the vehicle, it may occur that the tester is unable to read out the unit number of the radio unit or the radio navigation system. In this case, please enter the unit number manually. It can be found on the sticker affixed to the unit and is also stamped onto the side of the unit.
The anti-theft code which has been determined is then shown on the tester's display.
The anti-theft code must now be entered manually into the radio navigation system.
Deactivating anti-theft coding:
–  Now enter the previously determined anti-theft code into the „RNS 510“ number block shown on the display and confirm it.
The unit will be released and is ready for use.
  Note
If the incorrect anti-theft code is entered, it can be immediately corrected with a further attempt. If the incorrect anti-theft code is entered twice, the radio navigation system is blocked for one hour. Leave ignition and radio navigation unit switched on. The remaining time is shown on the radio navigation system display. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Remember that you always have two attempts at entering the code. After that, the radio navigation system is then blocked for one hour.
