MULTIMEDIA DEVICES
IMPORTANT Some multimedia players
may not be compatible with the
Uconnect™.
Only use devices (e.g. USB flash drives)
from safe sources on the car. Devices
from unknown sources could contain
software infected by viruses which, if
installed on the car, could increase the
vulnerability of the car's electric/
electronic systems to hacking.
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, whereas 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 0 to 9: to insert the code,
turn the "BROWSE ENTER" right knob
and press to confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move the
cursor to "OK" and press the
"BROWSE ENTER" right knob: the
system will start to operate.
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. Wait for
30 minutes". 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.
