Tips
You can find information about the different drives starting on page 34.Anti-theft codingGeneral
Effective safety measures in conjunction with the PIN
prevent misuse of the equipment by unauthorized
parties.The electronic lock-up is operational, if:

the Navigation System is removed from the vehicle,


the Navigation System is disconnected from the vehicle current
supply,


the battery is disconnected or


the electric fuse for the Navigation System is blown.
I f t h e a n t i - t h e ft c o d i n g h as l o cke d up t h e N a v i g a t i o n S ys t e m fo r o n e
of the reasons given, the speller display for entering the PIN
page 14, fig.6 appears after the Navigation System is switched
on.
After that, the Navigation System can only be operated again only
by entering the correct PIN.
This PIN is attached to the equipment card along with the equip-
ment number.
The PIN can be used for your equipment alone and cannot be
changed.
Note
The “equipment card” should be removed and kept in a safe place -
under no circumstances should it be kept in the vehicle. This makes
the Audi Navigation System unusable by thieves.Applies to vehicles: with convenience codingUser-friendly radio codingAft e r t he P I N i s e n t e re d t h e fir s t t im e , t h e N a v i g a t i o n S ys t e m g e t s to
know its vehicle.
If the power supply was interrupted, the Navigation System checks
to see whether it is still its vehicle. If it is, the Navigation System is
ready for use again after a few seconds.
It is no longer necessary to manually disable the electronic lock!
However, if the Navigation System is installed in another vehicle,
the electronic lock must be cancelled by entering the PIN page 14.
