Anti-Theft Feature

The navigation system has a coded theft protection circuit. Make sure you have the anti-theft security code before:

After service, reconnect power to the audio-navigation unit, and turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode. Enter the 5-digit anti-theft security code.

If the code card is lost or unavailable, you can get the code from the iN using the navigation system serial number. The system serial number can easily be obtained without removing the audio-navigation unit. To get the serial number and the code, do this:

Alternatively, you can find the serial number on the upper label which is located on the audio-navigation unit in the dash.

The HDD and audio-navigation unit are mated to each other and can only be mated to a new unit. If someone tried to put a stolen HDD in another audio-navigation unit, or insert their HDD in a stolen audio-navigation unit, the two components cannot mate and a HDD read error appears on the display.

When replacing the audio-navigation unit, be sure to give the client the new anti-theft security code.
