Anti-theft protection through a vehicle specific coding
These radios are not code protected. The radio is coupled with the vehicle via CAN-Bus. The
radio receives via CAN-Bus a vehicle specific coding, which will be checked during power-on
process. If the vehicle specific coding is not valid, the radio will not work in the usual mode. After
30s the PROD-Mode will be activated, ?PROD? will be displayed. Being in the PROD-Mode, it
is not possible to operate the radio.
The vehicle specific coding between radio and vehicle can be realised by an external ?IS-Te-
ster?. Only the manufacturer can activate the radio with special software and hardware tools.
