Theft protection





General

The audio system is equipped with electronic theft protection. Information concerning the theft-protection device is connected in the form of a code to the audio system of the car in which it is installed. Programming is performed with the diagnostic tool.

Function

The function of the theft-protection device is to prevent theft through the main unit and CD changer being “married” to the car. If they are not “married”, the RADIO CODE or CDC CODE message will be displayed when the audio system is switched on.

The audio system checks at regular intervals that the theft-protection information is correct (that a“marriage” has taken place). This applies as well if the +30 voltage has been temporarily disconnected. If the information received is incorrect, the message RADIO LOCKED will appear on the display.

There is unique theft-protection information for a CD changer installed in the car as well. If the information on the CD player is incorrect (not “married”), the display will show CDC LOCKED when the CD changer mode is selected.

Important

The diagnostic tool must be used to “marry/divorce” the audio system and the car. A divorce can only take place in the original car with the correct car key in the ignition switch. Refer to Changing the audio system .
