Coding
The table shows the waiting periods between
the individual attempts.
The waiting period after the 7th attempt is
always 24 hrs!
After the 6th attempt we recommend having a
dealer complete the “Return to operation” or
“Deactivate coding” process.
Return to operation
With the coding activated, the car radio is
electronically disabled after it has been dis-
connected from the car battery (or permanent
plus, terminal 30), e.g. after the radio has
been removed during servicing.
1. Switch on the car radio.
The display indicates "SAFE".
After approx. 3 seconds, the display indi-
cates "I - - - -". (The "I" stands for the num-
ber of attempts).
2. Enter the code number (on the Identity Card)
with the r
TUNING t or
¢¢
1 …
¢¢
4
buttons as described under "Activating the
coding".
3. Confirm the code number.
Press the
¢¢
EXPERT button until "CODE"
appears briefly in the display.
The radio will play after approximately
3 seconds.
If you have entered the incorrect code
number:
"SAFE" remains in the display and the radio
does not play.
Begin again. Be sure to observe the waiting
periods between attempts (see next chapter).
Waiting periods
To prevent deactivation of the coding being
possible by trial and error, waiting periods
are required between attempts. During these
waiting 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 +12 V
voltage. 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 - - - -".
