The radio is fitted with an antitheft protection system
based on the exchange of information between the
radio and the electronic control unit (Body Computer)
installed on the car.
This system warrants the highest level of security and
prevents entry of the secret code every time the radio
supply is disconnected. After every re-connection an
automatic check procedure is performed during which
the display shows the wording “CANCHECK” for
about one second.
If the result of the check is positive, the set starts
working, whereas if the comparison codes are not the
same or if the radio is connected for the first time to
the car electric system, the device informs the user of
the need to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the following paragraph.
