Some electronic control units are factory-equipped with component protection.
Component protection was developed as a protection mechanism for:
› impairment of factory- or garage-fitted control units after installation in another
vehicle (for example, after a theft);
› impairment of components operated outside of the vehicle;
› the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for repairs
at a ŠKODA 1)
specialist garage.
When component protection is enabled, the following message appears on the
unit display Component theft protection: the infotainment system is not fully
available at present. Please switch on the ignition. 
