Anti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding
Your radio is equipped with a convenience coding. If the radio is being operatedfor the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the radio but also in thevehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first of all switch on the igni- tion and then the radio.
If you wish to install the radio in another vehicle, the safety code must be en- tered. In this case, please do not hesitate to contact a ŠKODA Service Partner or aŠKODA importer.
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.
Note
The code is stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is automaticallydecoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not necessa-ry.Ð
Enter code
›Switch on the radio if the ignition is on. SAFE is displayed and then 1000.›Enter the safety code using the function keys 1 - 4.›Confirm the safety code by pressing down on the function key 6.
If you have confirmed a wrongly entered code, you can repeat once again the en-tire process.
If the code number is entered incorrectly for the second time, the unit will be blocked for approx. one hour. It is possible to enter again the safety code afterone hour has expired, when the unit and the ignition have been switched on.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.Ð
