vehicle battery was disconnected (for example ,
if you brought yo ur vehicle in to the dealership
for service and it was necessary to disconnect
the banery ). In either case , th e power supply to
t he unit was cut off.

has been inplll in the rad io, i t w ill then synchro­
nise itself wi th "it s" veh icle!
