and then the radio.
If you wish to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code must be entered.
In this case, please do not hesitate to contact a Škoda Service Partner or a Škoda

As the unit only functions after entering the safety code, this practically excludes its
use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.

decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not
necessary.Enter code– Switch on the radio if the ignition is on.
