Information about coding
Your personal code number is on the identity
card of your car radio.
Coding is not activated when the radio leaves
the factory.
If you have “activated” your car radio's
coding:
As soon as you disconnect the car radio from
the car battery (or permanent plus terminal
30), it is electronically blocked.
Only you are able to put it back into operation
by entering your personal Code Number.
If the Code Number is lost (Identity Card),
only a dealer can put the radio back into
operation after you provide proof of owner-
ship and pay a fee.
Is the coding activated?
Activate the expert mode and press the
“
–
or
“
+ button until the display indicates
"
SAFE
" or "

".

Important Information
Coding
Waiting periods
To prevent deactivation of the coding being
possible by trial and error, waiting periods are
required between attempts. During these wait-
ing periods the car radio can be switched on
and off but will not play.
During the waiting period
the car radio needs not be switched on, but it
must be connected to the permanent plus ter-
minal. As long as the display indicates "
SAFE
",
the waiting period has not yet elapsed.
The waiting period is over when the number
of the next attempt is visible in the display,
e.g.
"
2 - - - -
".
The table shows
the waiting
periods between
the individual
attempts.
Waiting period
after the 7th
attempt is
always 24hrs!
After the 6th
attempt we
recommend having a dealer complete the
“Return to operation” or “Deactivate coding”
process.
Return to operation
The car radio is electronically disabled after it
has been disconnected from the car battery
(or permanent plus, terminal 30), e.g. after
the radio has been removed during servicing.
1. Switch the car radio on:
The display indicates "
SAFE
".
After approx. 3 seconds, it will indicate
"
I - - - -
".
2. Enter the code number (on Identity Card),
as described in the chapter "Activating
coding".
3. Confirm the code number:
Briefly press the
“
LOUD
EXPERT
button. The display
indicates briefly "
SAFE
".
After approx. 3 seconds the radio will play.
Entry of incorrect code number:
"
SAFE
" remains in the display and the radio
does not play.
Begin again.
Be sure to observe the waiting periods
between the attempts.
Deactivating coding
e.g., before removing the car radio:
1. The expert mode must be switched on and
"
SAFE
" visible in the display.
Activate the setting.
Briefly press the
“
LOUD
EXPERT
button.
The display indicates "
E
1 - - - -
"
2. Enter the code number (on Identity Card),
as described in the chapter "Activating
coding".
3. Confirm the code number:
Briefly press the
“
LOUD
EXPERT
button. The display
indicates briefly "
CODE
".
After approx. 3 seconds the radio will play.
Coding is deactivated!
Entry of incorrect code number:
"

" remains in the display and the radio
does not play.
Begin again.
Be sure to observe the waiting periods
between the attempts.

radio on and off with the ignition/start
switch.
– Terminal 30, if you do not wish to switch
the car radio on and off with the
ignition/start switch.

connected from the mute output of the tele-
phone/CB radio to earth!

Installation materials and accessories
Your dealer can advise you as to what installa-
tion materials you will need and what acces-
sories are available.
Inserting the mounting frame

o
– Insert mounting frame b into cutout a of the
vehicle.
– Bend the tabs c behind cutout a as required
(depending on type of vehicle).
With cars of the VW/Audi company, from
1991 models on: make sure not to connect
the contact blade A7 with the S contact
(supply plug PIN 4 – brown/red cable) of
the car.

of the vehicle:
when the vehicle's headlights are switched on
and the car radio is switched off, the illumina-
tion of of the car radio controls can be set
with the instrument illumination control.

Aerial
The car radio is designed for aerials with an
impedance of 75
Ω
to 150
Ω
. Extended aerial
cables, e.g. for aerials at the rear of the car,
may impair reception.

Speed controlled volume
SCV = Speed Controlled Volume
The car radio is well-suited to most types of
signal generators.
Your vehicle dealer can inform you whether
your vehicle is suitable for “speed-controlled
volume regulation”.
Conditions:
A speed-controlled signal must be present at
the SCV connection!
In vehicles with an electronic speedometer,
on-board computer, cruise controller etc., a
signal generator is already present.
If the signal generator is already connected to
the vehicle earth, the output of the signal
generator only needs to be connected to the
SCV connection.
If there is no signal generator, it can be retro-
fitted in most cases.
í
Do not connect the signal generator
output to the vehicle earth!
After connecting, check the speedometer
and the ABS of the vehicle.
