Anti-Theft Coding
The RNS is equipped with anti-theft coding, which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster. The radio code is stored internally inside the RNS and inside the instrument cluster.
After disconnecting the power supply to the RNS, it is ready for use and the radio code does not need to be entered again. The anti-theft coding must be activated for the first time and the radio navigation system must be connected in the same vehicle.
Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to get the radio code. The radio card and the label on the RNS (Radio Navigation System) that were used in the past are no longer used.
The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester must be "online" to retrieve the radio code and the user must be authorized to access radio codes.
Reactivating a locked radio is only possible by entering correct radio code number for anti-theft protection.
