To deter theft of your vehicle's audio unit,
it has an integrated antitheft system. The
system is designed to accept a code
number that makes the unit inoperable if it
is stolen.
This system will be activated if the power
source is ever disconnected from or in any
way interrupted to the audio unit. When
the system is activated, the audio system
will not operate when reconnected to a
power supply, and “CODE ”will flash on
the display until the correct code number
is input. If the antitheft system is
activated, reset the unit.CAUTION
Read and understand all code setting
procedures before attempting to input
your personal code number.
The personal code number is only
shown on the audio unit display while it
is being set. Once it is input and stored
by the unit, it is never again displayed.
For that reason, be very careful to
immediately record your personal code
number, and never let an unauthorized
person set a code.
NOTE
Although the audio unit is operable
without the code number being set, we
recommend that you set your personal
code number.
