other 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 re-
pairs at a ŠKODA 1)
specialist garage.

Note
■
We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.■
The phone features are dependent on the mobile network operators, as well
as the phone being used. Further information is available from the mobile net-
work operator or to refer to the telephone manual.
■
In signal-free areas the reception can be disturbed or a call will be disconnec-
ted.
■
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded against high frequency sig-
nals. In exceptional cases, electronic equipment may not be shielded against
high frequency signals of the telephone and service may be disrupted.
