INTRODUCTION
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange
of information between the radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
present on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety
and prevents the secret code from being
entered every time the radio power sup-
ply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
radio will start to function, whereas if the
comparison codes are not the same or if
the electronic control unit (Body Com-
puter) is replaced, the device will ask the
user to enter the secret code according
to the procedure described in the para-
graph below.
Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the se-
cret code is requested, the display will
show the wording “Code” for about 2 sec-
onds followed by four dashes “- - - -”.
The secret code is made up of four digits
from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press
the button corresponding to the pre-se-
lection stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the
other code digits in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display shows the word-
ing “Enter code - - - -”. If this occurs, it is
not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the car radio starts to work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display shows the
wording “Radio blocked/wait” to notify
the user of the need to enter the correct
code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time gradually increases
(1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min,
1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) to a maximum of
24 hours. The waiting time will be shown
on the display with the wording “Radio
blocked/wait”. After the wording has dis-
appeared it is possible to start the code
entering procedure again.
Code Card
This document certifies the ownership of
the car radio. The Code Card contains the
model of the radio, the serial number and
the secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card some-
where safe so that the authorities can be
supplied with the relevant information if
the radio is stolen.
