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:
–  Press „GoTo“ key.
–  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 unit.
Deactivating anti-theft coding:
–  Switch on radio unit.
The word „SAFE“ appears for approx. 10 seconds on the display and then number sequence „1000“.
–  Enter the anti-theft code by pressing the corresponding function buttons until the right number sequence appears.
After entering the four-digit anti-theft code, „OK“ appears on the display.
–  When you have entered the anti-theft code, confirm it with the „OK“ function button on the display.
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 unit is locked for one hour. Leave ignition and radio unit switched on. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Remember: you always have two attempts at entering the code, then the radio unit is blocked for one hour.
