› for the impairment of factory- or garage-fitted control units after installation
in another vehicle (for example, after a theft);
› for the impairment of components operated outside of the vehicle.
› for the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for re-
pairs 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
