command and asks the user to choose
between a maximum of four alternatives.
The system will propose a numbered list
of the available alternatives, asking the
user to say the associated number.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the
exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle. This guarantees maximum
safety and prevents the secret code from
being entered after the power supply has
been disconnected. If the check has a
positive outcome, the system will start to
operate.
If the comparison codes are not the same
or if the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) is replaced, the system will
ask the user to enter the secret codeaccording to the procedure described in
the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will show
"Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed
by the screen showing a keypad to enter
the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four digits,
from 1 to 9: to insert the first number of
the code press the corresponding key on
the display. Enter the other code digits in
the same way. After entering the fourth
digit, the system begins operating. If an
incorrect code is entered, the system
displays "Incorrect Code" to notify the
user of the need to enter the correct
code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays "Incorrect
Code. Radio locked. Please wait
30 minutes” (the waiting time is
displayed). After the text has
disappeared it is possible to start the
code entering procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of the
system. The vehicle radio passport shows
the system model, serial number and
secret code.
In the event that the radio passport is
lost, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership,taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.

passport in a safe place so that you can
