Anti-theft coding
Anti-theft coding
The radio unit is equipped with a convenience anti-theft coding, which is effective in combination with the dash panel insert.
After disconnecting the radio voltage supply, the radio operation is restored when reconnecting the voltage supply without entering the code number. The prerequisites are that the initial activation of the anti-theft coding has been performed and the radio is reconnected in the same vehicle.
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 radio codes.
