Replacing the head unit in the audio system

Replacing the head unit in the audio system

General

The head unit and CD changer are connected to the I-bus. When the head unit and CD changer are first installed, they are married to the vehicle. This is a process which is performed by means of Tech 2. During the marriage the head unit and CD changer identify the theft protection information from the vehicle. From this moment in time the head unit and CD changer will only work in this particular vehicle.

This also means that if the head unit or CD changer is removed and is not to be refitted in the same vehicle, it must be divorced from the vehicle before being removed.

Note

If the head unit is DIVORCED, “TheftLock is activated” appears on the unit's screen when activated. If the CD changer is DIVORCED, the SID displays “RADIO CODE” when activated.
