was removed to be repaired). or whenever the
veh icle battery was disco nnected (for examp le,
if yo u brou ght yo ur v ehicl e in to t he deale rship
for service a nd it was necessary to dis con nect
t he bauery). In eith er case , the power sup ply to
th e unit was cut off.
T hat has all ch anged w ith the new conven ie n ce
radio cod ing f un cti on: Once t he co de number
ha s bee n ent ered. it
will th en sy nchro nize itse lf
w ith "its" vehicl e!
.0, WARNING (co ntinu ed)
