Anti-Theft Function

The audio unit has an anti-theft protection function separate from the security system of the vehicle. If the audio unit is removed from the vehicle, the audio unit requires a procedure to unlock the security system in order to use it again after the audio unit is reconnected.

There are two kinds of anti-theft mode release procedures:

• While displaying the security code entry screen or the conformation screen of the anti-theft system, press and hold the VOLUME/POWER ( ) knob for at least 2 seconds. The audio unit automatically exits the anti-theft mode.
• While displaying the security code entry screen, enter the 5-digit anti-theft code.

The System Diagnostic Mode (includes checking hard error codes) can be used even if the audio unit is in the anti-theft mode.

If you substitute the audio unit into another vehicle, you must either enter the anti-theft code or perform the anti-theft skip mode in the System Diagnostic mode (This mode will release the anti-theft code for 150 seconds).
