Anti-theft coding
Anti-theft coding
The radio navigation system „RNS 310“ is equipped with a convenience anti-theft coding, which is effective in combination with the dash panel insert.
After disconnecting the radio navigation system's voltage supply, system operation is restored when reconnecting the voltage supply without entering the code number. The prerequisite is that initial activation of the anti-theft coding has been performed and the radio navigation system is reconnected in the same vehicle.
A locked radio navigation system can only be returned to normal operation by entering the correct code number for the anti-theft coding.
The anti-theft code is determined using vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051- or vehicle diagnosis 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 diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051- or vehicle diagnosis and service information system -VAS 5052- must be connected „online“ (network connection), and user must possess valid rights for the programme for requesting anti-theft codes.
