Radio, Anti Theft - Correct Code Entry Procedure

SUBJECT:
ANTI-THEFT RADIO CODE ENTRY PROCEDURE
MODELS:
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ANTI-THEFT RADIOS
It has become necessary to make you aware of a problem which the Warranty Testing Department has been experiencing when performing testing on
Anti-theft radios. We have received a number of anti-theft radios replaced under warranty due to the fact that the radio would not accept the entry code.
Therefore, we would like to request that the procedures listed below be followed prior to replacing any Alpine or Clarion anti-theft radio.
Peugeot Motors of America utilizes two (2) different anti-theft radios as original equipment for its product lines. These anti-theft radios are
manufactured by Clarion and Alpine. Anti-theft code entry differs for each radio.
ANTT-THEFT COMPUTERIZED PROTECTION:
The microprocessor controlling the radio has either a 5-digit anti-theft code (Alpine radios) or a 4-digit anti-theft code (Clarion radios). These codes are
printed on the identification cards located on the last page of the Radio Manual. Should the voltage supply to the radio become interrupted or
disconnected, or if a low voltage condition exists, the radio will not operate when correct voltage is restored. The Alpine radio display will show the
word "CODE" and the Clarion radio display will be blank. This condition indicates that the anti-theft code must be entered in order to restore radio
operation. The anti-theft code entry procedure for each radio is described below.
Alpine Radios (display on right side of radio):
-
Turn ignition key to "acc" position and turn radio on.
-
When "CODE" appears in the display, the 5-digit anti-theft code printed on the identification cards in the radio manual must be entered using
the radio pushbuttons numbered 1 to 5.
-
If a "beep" is heard while entering the 5-digit code, STOP. Do not press any buttons. Ensure that you have the correct code and begin the
code entry again.
-
If an error is made in code entry, REPEATEDLY press any of the 5 pushbuttons until a "beep" is heard, then STOP. Begin the code entry
again.
Alpine Radios (cont.):
-
NOTE: If the assigned anti-theft code is not entered in THREE consecutive tries, the microprocessor will not accept any more code entries
unless the radio and ignition are allowed to remain on continuously for 1-1/2 hours, with all other, accessories turned off. After 1-1/2 hours of
"on" time, it will again accept only three code entry attempts.
-
If the code is still not accepted at this point, verify that the serial number on the anti-theft identification cards matches the serial number of the
radio. If the serial numbers match and the code still cannot be entered, contact the Customer Relations Department in Lyndhurst, NJ, at
800-345-5549, to ensure that you have the correct code. Wait an additional 1-1/2 hours of "on" time, and begin code entry again with the
correct code. If the radio code will not be accepted, refer to the Warranty Manual, Section 3, Page 16, for information on the "Alpine
Warranty Exchange Program."
Clarion Radios (display on left side of radio):
-
Turn ignition key to "acc" position and turn radio on.
-
When the display is blank, the 4-digit anti-theft code printed on the identification cards in the radio manual must be entered using the radio
pushbuttons numbered 1 to 6.
-
If a wrong digit is entered, continue to enter any digit until 4 digits appear on the display. Then press and hold the "BAND" button
(approximately 5 seconds) until the display goes blank. Enter the correct 4-digit code.
-
The Clarion radio does not have the lock-up feature of the Alpine unit, and the 1-1/2 hour waiting period is not required. If after several
attempts the code cannot be entered, verify that the serial number on the anti-theft identification cards matches the serial number of the radio.
If the serial numbers match and the code still cannot be entered, contact the Customer Relations Department in Lyndhurst, NJ, at
800-345-5549, to ensure that you have the correct code. If the radio code will not be accepted, refer to the Warranty Manual, Section 3, Page
16, for information on the "Clarion Warranty Exchange Program."
