2.5 Anti-theft coding

The "Lowentry" radio -R- is equipped with an anti-theft coding system which works in conjunction with the dash panel insert.

If the voltage supply for the radio -R- is disconnected and then reconnected, the radio will be still operational without the need to enter the anti-theft code again. A prerequisite is that the initial activation of the anti-theft coding takes place and that the radio -R- is reconnected in the same vehicle.

2.5.1 Functional notes

After initial activation of the anti-theft coding, an internal radio code is stored in the radio -R- and in the dash panel insert. If the radio -R- is now disconnected from the voltage supply due to repairs (e.g. radio -R- or battery -A-) removed and the voltage supply is then reconnected, data is transferred between the radio -R- and the dash panel insert.

When this is done, the internal code of the radio -R- is compared with the code in the dash panel insert. If the codes are identical with each other, the dash panel insert will recognise that the connected radio -R- belongs to the vehicle. The radio -R- is therefore immediately operational without the need to enter the anti-theft code again.

If the radio -R- is replaced, the radio code must be entered again.

Deactivating anti-theft coding page 9

Then after switching on the "S contact" via the ignition lock the code is automatically compared between the dash panel insert and the radio -R-.

Comparison takes approx. 5 seconds. It must be ensured that a diagnostic unit has not been connected or is not connected during this period of time.

After this time, the radio -R- of the vehicle will be ready for operation without the need to enter the radio code again even if the voltage supply has been cut off and then reconnected.

The anti-theft coding becomes effective and blocks the radio -R- when:

◆ The radio -R- is installed in another vehicle or
◆ The dash panel insert is changed.

A radio -R- which has been locked by the anti-theft coding is shown when "SAFE" and "1000" is shown in the display when switching the radio -R- on.

Deactivate the anti-theft coding to release the unit lock → page 9.

2.5.2 Deactivating anti-theft coding

A locked radio -R- will only work again if the correct radio code for the anti-theft coding system is entered.

Note

The anti-theft radio code is stuck on the radio card together with the unit number Instruction manual.
The radio card should not be kept in the vehicle for security reasons. Ask the customer for the radio code.
If a radio -R- is renewed, the numerical code of the replacement radio must be used.
◆ The customer must be informed that the radio code has changed.

- Obtain the code of the radio -R-.

- Switch on the radio -R-.

The radio -R- automatically displays "SAFE" and then "1000".

• Enter the radio code using station buttons 1 to 4. Use station button 1 to enter the first digit of the radio code and station 2 for the second digit etc.
• Then press the function button arrow and hold it down until the electronic anti-theft coding system is activated. This is indicated by a brief signal sound.

If the radio code has been entered correctly into the radio -R-, a radio frequency appears in the display.

Note

If an incorrect anti-theft code is entered, it can be immediately corrected with a further attempt. If an incorrect radio code is entered twice, the radio -R- will be blocked for one hour. During the locking period, the radio -R- must remain switched on and the ignition key must remain in the ignition lock. The process can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio -R- will be blocked for one hour.

Note

The radio -R- has an aerial diversity function for terrestrial radio reception. Both aerial connections are signal inputs. The radio -R- analyses continuously which of the two connected aerials transmits the better reception signal. The aerial with the better reception signal is then selected. This switching process is not audible.

N91-0467

3.5 Electronic anti-theft coding

The "Premium 7" radio -R- is equipped with an electronic anti-theft coding system which works in conjunction with the dash panel insert.

If the voltage supply for the radio -R- is cut off and then reconnected, the radio will still be operational without the need to enter the radio code again. A prerequisite is that the electronic anti-theft coding system has already been activated for the first time and that the radio -R- is reconnected in the same vehicle.

3.5.1 Functional notes

After initial activation of the anti-theft coding, an internal radio code is stored in the radio -R- and in the dash panel insert. If the radio -R- is now disconnected from the voltage supply due to repairs (e.g. radio -R- or battery -A-) removed and the voltage supply is then reconnected, data is transferred between the radio -R- and the dash panel insert.

When this is done, the internal code of the radio -R- is compared with the code in the dash panel insert. If the codes are identical with each other, the dash panel insert will recognise that the connected radio -R- belongs to the vehicle. The radio -R- is therefore immediately operational without the need to enter the anti-theft code again.

If the radio -R- is replaced, the radio code must be entered.

Deactivating anti-theft coding → page 19

Then after switching on the "S contact" via the ignition lock the code is automatically compared between the dash panel insert and the radio -R-.

The comparison takes approx. 5 seconds. During this period no diagnostic unit may be connected.

After this time, the radio -R- of the vehicle will be ready for operation without the need to enter the radio code again even if the voltage supply has been cut off and then reconnected.

The anti-theft coding becomes effective and blocks the radio -R- when:

◆ The radio -R- is installed in another vehicle or
◆ The dash panel insert is changed.

A radio -R- which has been locked by the anti-theft coding is shown when "SAFE" and "1000" is shown in the display when switching the radio -R- on.

Deactivate the anti-theft coding to release the unit lock page 19.

3.5.2 Deactivating electronic anti-theft coding

A locked radio -R- will only work again if the correct radio code for the anti-theft coding system is entered.

Note

The anti-theft radio code is stuck on the radio card together with the unit number Instruction manual.
◆ The radio card should not be kept in the vehicle for security reasons. Ask the customer for the radio code.
If a radio -R- is renewed, the radio code of the replacement device must be used.
- The customer must be informed that the radio code has changed.

- Obtain the code of the radio -R-.

Switch on the radio -R-.

The radio -R- automatically displays "SAFE" and then "1000".

• Enter the radio code stuck on the radio card using station buttons 1 to 4. Use station button 1 to enter the first digit of the radio code and station 2 for the second digit etc.
• Then press the station button, which is located under "OK" on the display (normally it is the last station button) and hold the button down until the electronic anti-theft coding system is activated. This is indicated by a brief signal sound.

If the radio code has been entered correctly into the radio -R-, a radio frequency appears in the display.

Note

If the incorrect radio code is entered, it can be immediately corrected with a further attempt. If an incorrect radio code is entered twice, the radio -R- will be blocked for one hour. During the locking period, the radio -R- must remain switched on and the ignition key must remain in the ignition lock. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio -R- will be blocked for one hour.

6.5 Electronic anti-theft coding

The radio -R- is equipped with an electronic anti-theft coding system which works in conjunction with the dash panel insert.

If the voltage supply for the radio -R- is cut off and then reconnected, the radio will still be operational without the need to enter the radio code again. A prerequisite is that the electronic anti-theft coding system has already been activated for the first time and that the radio -R- is reconnected in the same vehicle.

6.5.1 Functional notes

After initial activation of the anti-theft coding, an internal radio code is stored in the radio -R- and in the dash panel insert. If the radio -R- is now disconnected from the voltage supply due to repairs (e.g. radio -R- or battery -A-) removed and the voltage supply is then reconnected, data is transferred between the radio -R- and the dash panel insert.

When this is done, the internal code of the radio -R- is compared with the code in the dash panel insert. If the codes are identical with each other, the dash panel insert will recognise that the connected radio -R- belongs to the vehicle. The radio -R- is therefore immediately operational without the need to enter the anti-theft code again.

If the radio -R- is replaced, the radio code must be entered.

Deactivating anti-theft coding page 47

Then after switching on the "S contact" via the ignition lock the code is automatically compared between the dash panel insert and the radio -R-.

Comparison takes approx. 5 seconds. It must be ensured that a diagnostic unit has not been connected or is not connected during this period of time.

After this time, the radio -R- of the vehicle will be ready for operation without the need to enter the radio code again even if the voltage supply has been cut off and then reconnected.

The anti-theft coding becomes effective and blocks the radio -R- when:

◆ The radio -R- is installed in another vehicle or
◆ The dash panel insert is changed.

A radio -R- which has been locked by the anti-theft coding is shown when "SAFE" and "1000" is shown in the display when switching the radio -R- on.

Deactivate the anti-theft coding to release the unit lock page 47.

6.5.2 Deactivating electronic anti-theft coding

A locked radio -R- will only work again if the correct radio code for the anti-theft coding system is entered.

Note

◆ The radio code is stuck on the radio card together with the unit number ⇒ Instruction manual.
The radio card should not be kept in the vehicle for security reasons. Ask the customer for the radio code.
If a radio -R- is renewed, the radio code of the replacement device must be used.
◆ The customer must be informed that the radio code has changed.

- Obtain the code of the radio -R-.

- Switch on the radio -R-.

The radio -R- automatically displays "SAFE" and then "1000".

Next to the four function buttons, the display shows the position of the radio code to be entered with an "X".

• Enter the code on the radio card in the correct sequence, using the four function buttons indicated. Press the relevant function button as many times as necessary until the correct number is shown in the centre of the display.
• Then press the function button next to the word "ENTER". The unit is then ready to operate again and switches to its last operating state.

Note

If you enter an incorrect radio code to deactivate the electronic lock, "SAFE" first flashes in the display, followed by "1000" again. The entire process can now be repeated again. The number of attempts is shown in the display. If an incorrect radio code is entered again, the radio -R- will be blocked for approx. one hour, i.e. it cannot be operated. This lock is indicated by the fact that "SAFE" is permanently shown in the display. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio -R- will be blocked for one hour.

N91-10366

8.6 Electronic anti-theft coding

The radio -R- is equipped with an electronic anti-theft coding system which works in conjunction with the dash panel insert.

If the voltage supply for the radio -R- is cut off and then reconnected, the radio will still be operational without the need to enter the radio code again. A prerequisite is that the electronic anti-theft coding system has already been activated for the first time and that the radio -R- is reconnected in the same vehicle.

8.6.1 Functional notes

After initial activation of the anti-theft coding, an internal radio code is stored in the radio -R- and in the dash panel insert. If the radio -R- is now disconnected from the voltage supply due to repairs (e.g. radio -R- or battery -A-) removed and the voltage supply is then reconnected, data is transferred between the radio -R- and the dash panel insert.

When this is done, the internal code of the radio -R- is compared with the code in the dash panel insert. If the codes are identical with each other, the dash panel insert will recognise that the connected radio -R- belongs to the vehicle. The radio -R- is therefore immediately operational without the need to enter the anti-theft code again.

If the radio -R- is replaced, the radio code must be entered.

Deactivating anti-theft coding page 67

Then after switching on the "S contact" via the ignition lock the code is automatically compared between the dash panel insert and the radio -R-.

Comparison takes approx. 5 seconds. It must be ensured that a diagnostic unit has not been connected or is not connected during this period of time.

After this time, the radio -R- of the vehicle will be ready for operation without the need to enter the radio code again even if the voltage supply has been cut off and then reconnected.

The anti-theft coding becomes effective and blocks the radio -R- when:

◆ The radio -R- is installed in another vehicle or

◆ The dash panel insert is changed.

A radio -R- which has been locked by the anti-theft coding is shown when "SAFE" and "1000" is shown in the display when switching the radio -R- on.

Deactivate the anti-theft coding to release the unit lock page 67.

8.6.2 Deactivating electronic anti-theft coding

A locked radio -R- will only work again if the correct radio code for the anti-theft coding system is entered.

Note

The radio code is stuck on the radio card together with the unit number Instruction manual.
◆ The radio card should not be kept in the vehicle for security reasons. Ask the customer for the radio code.
If a radio -R- is renewed, the radio code of the replacement device must be used.
◆ The customer must be informed that the radio code has changed.

• Obtain the code of the radio -R-.
• Switch on the radio -R-.

The radio -R- automatically displays "SAFE" and then "1000".

Next to the four function buttons, the display shows the position of the radio code to be entered with an "X".

• Enter the radio code in the correct sequence, using the four function buttons indicated. Press the relevant function button as many times as necessary until the correct number is shown in the centre of the display.
• Then press the function button next to the word "ENTER". The radio -R- is ready for operation again and switches to the last operating mode.

Note

If you enter an incorrect radio code to deactivate the electronic lock, "SAFE" first flashes in the display, followed by "1000" again. The entire process can now be repeated again. The number of attempts is shown in the display. If an incorrect radio code is entered again, the radio -R- will be blocked for approx. one hour, i.e. it cannot be operated. This lock is indicated by the fact that "SAFE" is permanently shown in the display. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio -R- will be blocked for one hour.

A prerequisite is that the electronic anti-theft coding system has already been activated for the first time and that the radio -R- is reconnected in the same vehicle.

The radio code is determined by means of the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-. The radio card used in the past and the sticker on the radio -R- have been discontinued.

Note

In order to find out the radio code, the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B- must be connected "online" (network connection), and the user must possess valid rights to use the programme for requesting radio codes.

9.6.1 Deactivating electronic anti-theft coding

A locked radio-R-will only work again if the correct radio code for the anti-theft coding system is entered.

Using the VAS tester to find out the radio code:

• Select "guided fault finding" in the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.
• Using GoTo button, select "Functions/component" and the following menu options in succession:

Body

Electrical system

◆ 01 - On board diagnosis-capable systems

◆ Corresponding radio system

♦ Radio system functions

♦ Radio code request

Your system rights are then determined. The operating data, the VIN and the unit number of the radio -R- are then read out automatically.

Note

When a new radio -R- is being installed, it is possible that the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-cannot read out the unit number of the radio -R-. In this case, please enter the unit number manually. It can be read on a sticker on the radio -R-unit and is also embossed on the side of the unit.

The radio code determined is then shown on the display of the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.

The radio code must be entered in the radio -R- manually.

Deactivating anti-theft coding:

- Switch on the radio -R-.

An entry mask with a 10-digit keypad and an ENTER button appear.

• Using the keypad, enter the right radio code in the entry mask.
  – Confirm the entry by pressing the entry button.

The radio -R- will be released and is ready for use.

Note

If you enter an incorrect radio code to deactivate the electronic lock, "SAFE" first flashes in the display, followed by "1000" again. The entire process can now be repeated again. The number of attempts is shown in the display. If an incorrect radio code is entered again, the radio -R- will be blocked for approx. one hour, i.e. it cannot be operated. This lock is indicated by the fact that "SAFE" is permanently shown in the display. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio -R- will be blocked for one hour.

When the battery -A- is reconnected, please remember to check vehicle equipment (radio, clock, convenience electronics, etc.) in accordance with the Electrical system; Rep. Gr. 27 workshop manual and/or the owner's manual.
The use of magnetic-base aerials may lead to permanent magnetisation of the vehicle roof, resulting in a malfunction in the compass module. If confronted with complaints about inaccurate or incorrect directional indication of the compass module, ask the customer if a magnetic-base aerial has been used before carrying out any repair work.

J3 INFO RADIO CO NAV TRAFFIC SETUP N91-10502

18.1 General description

The "RNS 300" combines the functions of a navigation system with those of a high-quality RDS radio.

The following is installed in the double DIN housing of the "RNS 300":

◆ An RDS radio
◆ A 5.8-inch monochrome display
◆ A navigation system with GPS satellite receiver
◆ A CD drive for the audio and navigation system

The "RNS 300" has 4 loudspeaker outputs.

The CD drive can read the CD-ROM for the navigation and can also play audio CDs. Whilst an audio CD is playing, only restricted operation of the navigation system is possible.

The following formats cannot be played:

◆ CD with diameter of 8 cm
◆ "Mixed CD" (CD with data and audio files)
◆ MP3

To extend the functionality, there is a connection for a CD changer -R41- and a telephone.

The aerial used is the aerial system in the rear window for the radio -R- and the navigation system aerial -R50- on the rear win-

dow (saloon). In the Variant, the aerials are located in the roof aerial. The aerial version comes without "diversity function".

18.1.1 Fault finding

The "RNS" is self-diagnosing.

Note

The part number for the radio/navigation system is printed on a sticker on the radio/navigation system housing.
If the radio navigation system is replaced, the electronic anti-theft system must be deactivated, page 128. Please inform the customer of the new radio code.
If the radio code is not known, it can be requested via the established systems. You need the identification number of the radio navigation system in order to make the request. It is located on a sticker on the side of the radio-navigation system. In addition, the identification number is also stamped into the material of the side wall of the radio navigation system.
If a radio navigation unit from one vehicle is fitted into another vehicle, it is essential that the part number of the replacement unit is the same as that of the unit previously installed. Otherwise faults will occur with the navigation because the turn angle sensor setting in the radio navigation system will not be compatible with the vehicle.

18.5 Electronic anti-theft coding

The radio navigation system is equipped with an electronic anti-theft system which works in combination with the dash panel insert.

After disconnection of the radio-navigation system's voltage supply, the system becomes operational again when the supply voltage is reconnected without the need to enter the radio code again. The prerequisite is that initial activation of the anti-theft coding has been performed and the radio navigation system is reconnected in the same vehicle.

18.5.1 Functional notes

After the initial activation of the electronic anti-theft system, an internal radio code is stored in the radio-navigation system and in the dash panel insert. If the voltage supply for the radio-navigation system is cut off due to installation work, an exchange of data between the radio-navigation system and the dash panel insert takes place when the supply voltage is reconnected.

When this is done, the internal radio code of the radio-navigation system is compared to the code in the dash panel insert. If the code numbers are identical, the dash panel insert accepts that the connected radio navigation system belongs to the vehicle. The radio-navigation system is then immediately operational without the need to enter the radio code again.

If the radio navigation system is replaced, the new radio code must be entered.

Deactivating anti-theft coding page 128

Then after switching on the "S contact" via the ignition lock the code is automatically compared between the dash panel insert and the radio navigation system.

The comparison takes approx. 5 seconds. During this period no diagnostic unit may be connected.

Even after disconnection and reconnection of the voltage supply, the radio-navigation system of this vehicle will now be operational without the need to enter the radio code again.

The electronic anti-theft system is switched on and blocks the radio navigation system when:

◆ The radio navigation system is installed in another vehicle or
◆ The dash panel insert is changed.

A radio navigation system which has been locked by the electronic anti-theft system is shown when "SAFE" and "1000" appears in the display when switching the system on.

Deactivate the anti-theft coding to release the unit lock page 128.

18.5.2 Deactivating electronic anti-theft coding

A locked radio-navigation system will only work again if the correct radio code for the electronic anti-theft coding system is entered.

Note

◆ The anti-theft radio code is stuck on the radio card together with the unit number ⇒ Instruction manual.
◆ The radio card should not be kept in the vehicle for security reasons. Ask the customer for the radio code.
If a radio-navigation system is renewed, the radio code of the replacement unit also must be used.
◆ The customer must be informed that the radio code has changed.

• Obtain the radio code.
• Switch on the radio navigation system.

The radio navigation system automatically displays "SAFE" and then "1000".

Next to the four function buttons, the display shows the position of the radio code to be entered with an "X".

• Enter the code on the radio card in the correct sequence, using the four function buttons indicated. Press the relevant function button as many times as necessary until the correct number is shown in the centre of the display.
• Then press the function button next to the word "ENTER". The unit is then ready to operate again and switches to its last operating state.

Note

If you enter an incorrect radio code to deactivate the electronic lock, "SAFE" first flashes in the display, followed by "1000" again. The entire process can now be repeated again. The number of attempts is shown in the display. If an incorrect radio code is entered again, the radio-navigation system will be blocked for approx. one hour, i.e. it cannot be operated. This lock is indicated by the fact that "SAFE" is permanently shown in the display. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio-navigation system will be blocked for one hour.

◆ Corresponding radio/navigation system

◆ Radio/navigation system functions
◆ Radio code request

Your system rights are then determined. The operating data, the VIN and the unit number of the radio or radio-navigation system are then read out automatically.

Note

When a new radio-navigation system is being installed, it is possible that the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system - VAS 5051B- cannot read out the unit number of the radio-navigation system. In this case, please enter the unit number manually. It can be read on a sticker on the radio-navigation system and is also embossed on the radio-navigation system.

The radio code determined is then shown on the display of the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.

The anti-theft code must now be entered manually into the radio navigation system.

Deactivating anti-theft coding:

- Switch on the radio navigation system.

The word "SAFE" appears for approx. 10 seconds on the display and then number sequence "1000".

- Enter the radio code by pressing the corresponding function buttons until the right number sequence appears.

After the four-digit radio code has been entered, "OK" appears on the display.

- Once you have entered the correct radio code, confirm it with the "OK" function button on the display.

The unit will be released and is ready for use.

Note

If the incorrect radio code is entered, it can be immediately corrected with a further attempt. If the incorrect radio code is entered twice, the radio-navigation system is blocked for one hour. Leave ignition and radio navigation unit switched on. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio-navigation system will be blocked for one hour.

The prerequisite is that initial activation of the anti-theft coding has been performed and the radio navigation system is reconnected in the same vehicle.

The radio code is determined by means of the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-. The radio card used in the past and the sticker on the radio-navigation system have been discontinued.

Note

In order to find out the radio code, the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B- must be connected "online" (network connection), and the user must possess valid rights to use the programme for requesting radio codes.

20.5.1 Deactivating electronic anti-theft coding

A locked radio-navigation system will only work again if the correct radio code for the electronic anti-theft coding system is entered.

Using the VAS tester to find out the radio code:

• Select "guided fault finding" in the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.
• Using GoTo button, select "Functions/component" and the following menu options in succession:
  Body
  Electrical system
  ◆ 01 - On board diagnosis-capable systems
  ◆ Corresponding radio/navigation system
  ◆ Radio/navigation system functions
  ◆ Radio code request

Your system rights are then determined. The operating data, the VIN and the unit number of the radio or radio-navigation system are then read out automatically.

Note

When new radio-navigation systems are being installed, it is possible that the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system - VAS 5051B- cannot read out the unit number of the radio-navigation system. In this case, please enter the unit number manually. It can be read on a sticker on the radio-navigation system and is also embossed on the radio-navigation system.

The radio code determined is then shown on the display of the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.

The radio code must now be entered manually into the radio navigation system.

Deactivating anti-theft coding:

- Switch on the radio navigation system.

The word "SAFE" appears for approx. 10 seconds on the display and then number sequence "1000".

- Enter the radio code by pressing the corresponding function buttons until the right number sequence appears.

After the four-digit radio code has been entered, "OK" appears on the display.

- Once you have entered the correct radio code, confirm it with the "OK" function button on the display.

The unit will be released and is ready for use.

Note

If the incorrect radio code is entered, it can be immediately corrected with a further attempt. If the incorrect radio code is entered twice, the radio-navigation system is blocked for one hour. Leave ignition and radio navigation unit switched on. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio-navigation system will be blocked for one hour.

21.5 Electronic anti-theft coding

The radio navigation system is equipped with an electronic anti-theft system which works in combination with the dash panel insert.

After disconnection of the radio-navigation system's voltage supply, the system becomes operational again when the supply voltage is reconnected without the need to enter the radio code again. The prerequisite is that initial activation of the anti-theft coding has been performed and the radio navigation system is reconnected in the same vehicle.

21.5.1 Functional notes

After the initial activation of the electronic anti-theft system, an internal radio code is stored in the radio-navigation system and in the dash panel insert. If the voltage supply for the radio-navigation system is cut off due to installation work, an exchange of data between the radio-navigation system and the dash panel insert takes place when the supply voltage is reconnected.

When this is done, the internal radio code of the radio-navigation system is compared to the code in the dash panel insert. If the code numbers are identical, the dash panel insert accepts that the connected radio navigation system belongs to the vehicle. The radio-navigation system is then immediately operational without the need to enter the radio code again.

If the radio navigation system is replaced, the new radio code must be entered.

Deactivating anti-theft coding page 158

Then after switching on the "S contact" via the ignition lock the code is automatically compared between the dash panel insert and the radio navigation system.

Comparison takes approx. 5 seconds. It must be ensured that a diagnostic unit has not been connected or is not connected during this period of time.

Even after disconnection and reconnection of the voltage supply, the radio-navigation system of this vehicle will now be operational without the need to enter the radio code again.

The electronic anti-theft system is switched on and blocks the radio navigation system when:

◆ The radio navigation system is installed in another vehicle or

◆ The dash panel insert is changed.

A radio navigation system which has been locked by the electronic anti-theft system is shown when "SAFE" and "1000" appears in the display when switching the system on.

Deactivate the anti-theft coding to release the unit lock page 158.

21.5.2 Deactivating electronic anti-theft coding

A locked radio-navigation system will only work again if the correct radio code for the electronic anti-theft coding system is entered.

Note

The anti-theft radio code is stuck on the radio card together with the unit number Instruction manual.
◆ The radio card should not be kept in the vehicle for security reasons. Ask the customer for the radio code.
If a radio-navigation system is renewed, the radio code of the replacement unit also must be used.
◆ The customer must be informed that the radio code has changed.

- Obtain the radio code.

- Switch radio navigation system on.

The word "SAFE" and the number sequence "0000" appear in the display.

- Enter the radio code stuck onto the radio card by selecting the relevant numbers from the letters and numbers selection box one after another and confirming.

Note

Entering the 1st number overwrites the row of figures "0000".

• Confirm the radio code by pressing the right rotary pushbutton.
• Once you have entered the correct radio code, confirm it with the "OK" function button on the display.

The unit will be released and is ready for use.

Note

If you have entered the wrong radio code, it can be immediately corrected in two further attempts. If the incorrect radio code is entered twice, the radio-navigation system is blocked for one hour. In this case, leave the radio navigation system switched on, and the ignition key inserted into the ignition lock. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio-navigation system will be blocked for one hour.

22.5 Electronic anti-theft coding

The radio navigation system is equipped with an electronic anti-theft system which works in combination with the dash panel insert.

After disconnection of the radio-navigation system's voltage supply, the system becomes operational again when the supply voltage is reconnected without the need to enter the radio code again. The prerequisite is that initial activation of the anti-theft coding has been performed and the radio navigation system is reconnected in the same vehicle.

The radio code is determined by means of the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-. The radio card used in the past and the sticker on the radio-navigation system have been discontinued.

Note

In order to find out the radio code, the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B- must be connected "online" (network connection), and the user must possess valid rights to use the programme for requesting radio codes.

22.5.1 Deactivating electronic anti-theft coding

A locked radio-navigation system will only work again if the correct radio code for the electronic anti-theft coding system is entered.

Using the VAS tester to find out the radio code:

• Select "guided fault finding" in the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.
• Using GoTo button, select "Functions/component" and the following menu options in succession:
  Body
  Electrical system
  ◆ 01 - On board diagnosis-capable systems
  ◆ Corresponding radio/navigation system
  ◆ Radio/navigation system functions
  ◆ Radio code request

Your system rights are then determined. The operating data, the VIN and the unit number of the radio or radio-navigation system are then read out automatically.

Note

When new radio-navigation systems are being installed, it is possible that the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system - VAS 5051B- cannot read out the unit number of the radio-navigation system. In this case, please enter the unit number manually. It can be read on a sticker on the radio-navigation system and is also embossed on the side of the unit.

The radio code determined is then shown on the display of the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B-.

The radio code must now be entered manually into the radio navigation system.

Deactivating anti-theft coding:

- Enter the radio code previously determined in the radio-navigation system number block shown on the display and confirm.

The radio-navigation system is then released and is ready for use.

Note

If the incorrect radio code is entered, it can be immediately corrected with a further attempt. If the incorrect radio code is entered twice, the radio-navigation system is blocked for one hour. Leave ignition and radio navigation unit switched on. The remaining time is shown on the radio/navigation system display. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Do not forget that only two attempts are allowed, after which the radio-navigation system will be blocked for one hour.

26 Telephone systems

26.1 General notes

Two versions of the telephone system are possible. Either as a complete telephone system or a preparation for mobile telephone.

The telephone system or the system as preparation for a mobile phone is available only in conjunction with a radio/RNS.

It is possible to retrofit a mobile telephone if the vehicle is prepared for installation of a telephone.

The mobile telephone operating electronics control unit -J412- is factory-fitted in vehicles with preparation for mobile telephone.

The only item that is required is an adapter for the telephone bracket -R126-. Which adapter is used depends on the mobile telephone (accessories).

In vehicles with telephone system, the whole system is installed including the mobile telephone.

From model year 2009, the "UHV Low" and "UHV Premium Light" preparations for mobile telephone will be used.

The "UHV Low" preparation for mobile telephone comes in the version "universal preparation for mobile telephone" with a telephone bracket in the centre console.

The Bluetooth function of the mobile telephone is not supported. Control takes place via the bracket for the telephone. The telephone aerial -R65- is connected to telephone bracket.

The preparation for mobile telephone "UHV Premium Light" is available as a "universal preparation for mobile telephone Premium" with Bluetooth technology and optional telephone bracket in the centre console. The telephone aerial -R65- is connected to the preparation for mobile telephone.

The "UHV Premium Light" is a fixed telephone with cordless access to stored telephone data of a mobile telephone registered with the vehicle system via Bluetooth.

The "UHV Premium Light" absolutely requires that the mobile telephone to connect has a Bluetooth function and supports "remote SIM access profile" (rSAP).

rSAP enables e.g. access to the directory entries on the SIM card of the mobile telephone.

For further information and notes on operation, refer to the operating manual.

26.1.1 Fault finding

The telephone systems are equipped with self-diagnosis.

For fault finding, use the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B- in "Guided fault finding" mode.

26.2 Overview of telephone system

The only significant difference between a vehicle fitted with complete telephone system and one with preparation for mobile telephone is the factory-fitted mobile telephone. Therefore, only the complete telephone system is shown in the following overview.

29 Suppression measures

29.1 Implementation of suppression measures

All electrical consumers in the vehicle are individually suppressed at factory.

This includes all sensors, actuators and all electrical motors in the vehicles as well as the controllers in the control units which might create high-frequency interference.

To suppress interference, electrical components such as capacitors, coils and diodes are directly installed in the electrical components.

Interference-suppressing components are also installed in the connector housings of electrical consumers.

The earth cables formerly employed for noise suppression are no longer used because noise suppression measures now need to be applied as close as possible to the sources of interference.

Protracted by copyright copyright granted commercial purposes, in part or in whole, is not permitted unless authorised by Volkswagen AG. Volkswagen AG does not guarantee or accept any liability with respect to the correctness of information in his occupant copyright when Volkswagen is not allowed unless authorised by Volkswagen AG.

30 Notes on operating mobile telephones and two-way radios

30.1 General notes

Mobile telephones or mobile two-way radios may not be used in the vehicle without a separate external aerial

◆ Remote controls (e.g. for garage door opener) and wireless units (keyboard or PC mouse) may be used in the vehicle only if the maximum transmitting power does not exceed 100 mW.
◆ An “e identification” is required for mobile two-way radios (applies for Europe only).
◆ Mobile telephones or other transmitting equipment (business equipment) which are not original vehicle equipment parts must have “CE identification” (applies to Europe only).
It is absolutely necessary to observe the manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for mobile telephones, two-way radios and aerials.
◆ The optimum unit range can be attained only by using an external aerial.
When telephone and two-way radio systems are properly installed, there is no danger to safety systems such as ABS or airbags. However, it is a prerequisite that there has been no modification of their installation. Routing wiring parallel to such systems must be avoided.
When mobile telephones or two-way radios are used, excessive electromagnetic fields may occur in the vehicle interior whether or not the external aerial has been properly installed. In this case, detrimental effects to health as well as malfunctions of vehicle electronics cannot be ruled out.

The installation and operation of two-way radios with a transmitting power above 10 W for the radio communication services listed in the table are permitted only under the following conditions:

• The transmitting power at the point of the aerial base (see unit manufacturer's specifications) must not exceed the relevant maximum values.
• No deviation from aerial locations listed in the table is permitted.

Transmitting power and aerial fitting locations table page 210

30.2 Notes on performing repair work

The battery -A- must be disconnected before repair work is begun! Electrical system; Rep. Gr. 27

Use valid current flow diagram Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.

For removing and installing trim General body repairs, interior; Rep. Gr. 70.

Observe manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for mobile telephones, two-way radios and aerials Operating instructions.

Secure wiring harnesses with cable ties. Wrap connectors with foam tubes to avoid rattling noises.

30.2.1 Transmitting power and possible fitting locations

Volkswagen permits the installation and operation of radio transmitter units if the transmitted power at the point of the aerial base listed in the table is not exceeded. Prescribed aerial fitting locations can also be found in the table.

The limits according to VDE 0848 part 2 (maximum permitted radiation strength for human safety) must be adhered to by reducing the transmitting power.

30.2.2 Voltage supply

When a radio transmitter unit is retrofitted in the vehicle, the battery -A- is used for connecting the positive and negative wires.

In addition, the wiring harness must be manufactured:

◆ Positive voltage supply via a red wire with 2.5 mm ^4 cross section.
◆ Negative voltage supply via a brown wire with 2.5 mm² cross section.

The positive wire must have a fuse located in the immediate vicinity of the battery -A-. For this purpose, a fuse holder must be secured next to the battery -A-. Both wires must be enclosed in an insulating tube.

Appropriate connections must be attached to wires on the battery side.

Proceed according to unit's Instruction manual on side of unit.

The additional wiring must be routed separately from vehicle wiring, and a distance of at least 10 cm must be maintained.

Some telephone systems and two-way radios require an additional terminal 15. In this case, a black wire with 1.5mm^2 cross-section must be laid from the transmitter/receiver unit to terminal 15a Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.

When laying the wiring, ensure that wiring is not routed parallel to factory wiring.

30.2.3 Aerial and aerial wiring

A shielded wire must be used between the radio transmitter unit and the aerial. The shield must contact both the unit and the aerial.

At the same time, ensure a good and continuous earth connection between the aerial base point cable and the vehicle body.

The transmitter must be used only when all components are properly matched with each other to prevent interference in the aerial wiring. To be sure, perform an output test to check and to match the system.

30.2.4 Further additional installations

The installation of further electronic equipment like business equipment (TV, fax) or household equipment (electric cooler box) is permitted only if these appliances are marked with a "CE" or an "e" sign (applies only in Europe).

Voltage supply is likewise to be provided via a separate wiring harness and equipped with a fuse.

30.3 Overview of battery -A-/radio transmitter unit/fuse/wiring harness
