Entering the secret code
Entry of the secret code is required to al-
low the radio to work after the first con-
nection to the vehicle electric system or to
a different Body Computer than the original
one.
Connecting the radio to the car supply, the
display will show the wording “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, te display shows the word
“CODE” for 2 seconds and then four dash-
es “- - - -”. This is not to be considered
as an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20
seconds), the radio starts to work.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 inform 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 max-
imum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the dis-
play with the word “WAIT”. When this
goes off it is possible to start the new code
entry procedure.
