Anti-theft coding
Anti-theft coding
The radio -R- is equipped with an anti-theft coding device, which works in combination with the dash panel insert.
If the voltage supply for the radio -R- is cut off and then reconnected, the radio will still be operational without the need to enter the radio code again. The prerequisites are that initial activation of the anti-theft coding has been performed and the radio -R- is reconnected in the same vehicle.
The radio code is determined by means of the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-. The radio card used in the past and the sticker on the radio -R- have been discontinued.
  Note
In order to find out the numerical code, the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B- must be connected „online“ (network connection), and the user must possess valid rights to use the programme for requesting radio codes.
