ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange
of information between the radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
present on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety
and prevents the secret code from being
entered every time the radio power sup-
ply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
radio will start to function, whereas if the
comparison codes are not the same or if
the electronic control unit (Body Com-
puter) is replaced, the device will ask the
user to enter the secret code according
to the procedure described in the para-
graph below.Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the se-
cret code is requested, the display will
show the wording “CODE” for about
2 seconds followed by four dashes “- - - -”.
The secret code is made up of four digits
from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press
the button corresponding to the pre-se-
lection stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the
other code digits in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show “Enter
code - - - -”. If this occurs, it is not con-
sidered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the car radio will start to work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display will show
“Radio blocked/wait” to notify the user of
the need to enter the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time gradually increases
(1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min,
1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) to a maximum of
24 hours. The waiting time will be shown
on the display with the wording “RADIO
BLOCKED, WAIT”. After the wording has
disappeared it is possible to start the code
entering procedure again.Code Card
This document certifies the ownership of
the car radio. The Code Card contains the
model of the radio, the serial number and
the secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card some-
where safe so that the authorities can be
supplied with the relevant information if
the radio is stolen.

FREQUENCY BAND SELECTION
With the Radio mode active, press the
button FM AS or AM briefly and repeat-
edly to select the desired reception band.
Each time the button is pressed the fol-
lowing bands are selected cyclically:

tuned into.
The FM band is divided into sections: FM1,
FM2 and “FMA”; the FMA reception band
is reserved to broadcasters stored auto-
matically using the Autostore function.PRESET BUTTONS
The buttons numbered from 1 to 6 are
used to set the following preselections:
❒18 in the FM band: 6 in FM1, 6 in FM2,
6 in FMT or “FMA” (on some versions);
❒12 in the MW band.
To listen to a preset station, select the
desired frequency band and then press
briefly the corresponding preset button
(from 1 to 6).
By pressing the preset button for more
than 2 seconds, the tuned station will be
stored. The storing phase is confirmed by
an acoustic signal. INTRODUCTION
When the car radio is turned on, the last
function that was selected before turning
it off (Radio, CD,CD/MP3) is activated.
To select the Radio function when an-
other audio source is being listened to,
briefly press the buttons FM AS or AM de-
pending on the desired band.
Once the Radio mode has been activated,
the display will show the name (RDS sta-
tions only) or the frequency of the se-
lected radio station, the frequency band

ton number (e.g. P1).

SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS
WITH HYBRID DISCS
If a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode,
Enhanced, CD-Extra) also containing MP3
files, the radio automatically starts play-
ing the audio session. It is possible to move
to the MP3 session whilst playing by keep-
ing the button CD pressed for more than
2 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the function is acti-
vated the radio may take a few seconds to
start playing. Whilst checking the disc the
display will show “CD READING”. If no
MP3 files are detected, the radio will re-
sume playing the audio session from the
point where it was interrupted.
DISPLAY INFORMATION
ID3-TAG information display
In addition to the information relating to
the time elapsed, folder name and file
name, the radio is also capable of display-
ing ID3-TAG information relating to Ti-
tle track, Artist and Author.The name of the MP3 folder shown on the
display will correspond to the name used
to store the folder on the CD, followed
by an asterisk.
Example of a complete MP3 folder name:
BEST OF *.
When one of the ID3-TAG pieces of in-
formation is chosen to be displayed (Title,
Artist, Album) and this information has
not been recorded for the track played,
the information will be replaced by that
relating to the name of the file.
SELECTION OF
NEXT/PREVIOUS FOLDER
Press the button ▲to select a next fold-
er or the button ▼to select the previ-
ous folder. The display will show the num-
ber and the name of the folder (e.g. “DIR
2 XXXXXX”).
XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display
will only show the first 8 characters).
The folders are selected cyclically: the first
folder is selected after the last folder and
vice versa. If no other folder/track is selected in the
next 2 seconds, the first track on the new
folder will be played.
If the last track in the folder at that mo-
ment selected is played, the next folder
will be played.
STRUCTURE OF THE FOLDERS
The radio with MP3 player:
❒recognises only the folders that effec-
tively contain MP3 format files;
❒if the MP3 files on a CD-ROM are
structured in “sub-folders”, their struc-
ture is compressed to a single level
structure, where the “sub-folders” are
taken to the level of the main folders.
