Applies only to VW - radio with coding
The coding of the anti-theft system prevents its unauthorized shutdown in the event of a power failure. A power failure occurs, for example, when the battery is disconnected, when the radio is removed or its fuse blows.
If the radio is coded, make sure you have the radio code before disconnecting the battery. If the code is not known, then only the VW workshop can reconnect the radio.
The individual code number can be found in the radio manual. This code must not be stored in the vehicle.
Removing the electronic lock
Connect the power supply, turn on the radio. A message appears on the radio «SAFE» («safe»).
Waveband buttons «U» and «M» or respectively «TR» and «TA» press simultaneously until a message appears on the radio «1000», then release the buttons.
Use the buttons to enter the secret code number in positions 1 to 4.
In this case, button 1 sets the first position of the code number, button 2 sets the second position of the code number, and so on. For technical reasons, the first position of the code number can only be occupied by the digit 1 or left empty, while subsequent positions can be filled with digits from 0 to 9.
After that, the waveband buttons «U» and «M» (or respectively «TR» and «TA») press again simultaneously until the message appears «SAFE». Release buttons. The receiver is now ready for use again.
Attention: If an incorrect code number is entered by mistake, the message «SAFE» will flash at first and then stop. After that, the entire process of entering the code number can be repeated once. If an incorrect code number is entered again, the radio will be blocked for approximately one hour and cannot be connected. After one hour has elapsed - the receiver must remain switched on - you can again attempt to unlock the electronic lock by entering the correct code number. This cycle will be repeated for all further attempts.
