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.
If the result of the check is positive, the radio will start
working whereas, if the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) is replaced, the device will inform the user
of the need to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the following paragraph.

Entering the secret code
Turning the sound system on, if code is requested the
display will show“CODE” for about 2 seconds,
followed by four dashes “----”.
The secret code comprises four figures from 1 to 6,
each corresponding to one of the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press the
corresponding key of the preset stations (from 1 to
6). Enter the other code digits in the same way.
If the four figures are not entered within 20 seconds,
the display shows the word “CODE” for 2 seconds
and then four dashes “----”. This is not to be
considered as an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds), the
radio starts working.If a wrong code is entered, the radio sounds a “beep”,
the display shows the word “CODE” for 2 seconds
and then four dashes “----” to warn the user that it is
necessary to enter the correct code.
Every time the user enters a wrong code, the waiting
time increases gradually (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16
min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) until reaching a
maximum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the display with the
word “WAIT”. When this goes off it is possible to
start the new code entry procedure.
CODE Card
This the document that certifies possession of the
radio. The Code Card contains the radio model, serial
number and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card carefully to be
able to give the related data to the competent
authorities in the event of theft.
