Note

• The part number for the radio/navigation is on a label located on the radio/navigation housing.
• Always deactivate the anti-theft coding if replacing the radio/navigation. Give the new code number to the customer.
• If the anti-theft code is not known, you can retrieve it via the known systems. You need the identification number of the radio navigation system for retrieval. It is on a sticker attached to the side of the radio. The identification number is also stamped in the material in the side of the radio navigation system.
• If a radio navigation system from one vehicle is to be installed in another vehicle, then always make sure that radio navigation systems of both vehicles have the same part number. Otherwise navigation system will malfunction since the setting of the rotation angle sensor in radio navigation system does not match the vehicle.

Note

• Familiarity with the function and operation of the digital sound system is needed if there are customer concerns.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual and → No.397 for additional information.
• Anti-theft coding is equipped with protection code number, deactivating electronic anti-theft system.
• Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester"Guided Fault Finding", when servicing or fault finding.
• For proper function of the navigation system, rotation angle sensor in unit must be set corresponding to installation position of unit in the vehicle. Therefore, always note the replacement part number when replacing the unit. An incorrect installation causes malfunctions in the navigation system.
• When the battery is reconnected, check any affected system or component (radio, clock, comfort electrical connection etc.) according to the repair manual and/or the Owner's Manual.

Anti-Theft Code

General Information

Radio navigation system "RNS 310" is equipped with an electronic comfort anti-theft system which operates in conjunction with the instrument cluster.

After disconnecting the power supply, the radio navigation system is ready to be used again once the power supply is connected. The anti-theft code does not need to be entered again. The anti-theft coding must be activated for the first time and the radio navigation system must be connected in the same vehicle.

Reactivating a locked radio/navigation system is only possible by entering correct radio code number for anti-theft protection.

Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester to get the anti-theft code. The radio card and the label on the radio that were used in the past are no longer used.

Note

The Vehicle Diagnostic Tester must be "online" (connected to the network) in order to get the anti-theft code and the user must be authorized to access radio codes.

Anti-Theft Code, Deactivating

Special tools and workshop equipment required

• Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
• Vehicle Diagnosis System - Updated Cable - 3m -VAS5051/5a- or Vehicle Diagnosis System - Diagnostic Cable -VAS5051/6a- or Vehicle Diagnostic Tester - Diagnostic Cable - 5m -VAS5052/3-

Retrieving the Anti-Theft System Code Using the VAS Tester:

Select "Guided Functions" or "Guided Fault Finding" on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

After all control modules have been checked:

• Press the "GO TO" button.
• Select "Functions/Component selection".
• Select "Body".
• Select "Electrical Equipment".
• Select "01-OBD-capable system".
• Select "Radio navigation system".
• Select "Functions"
• Select and start "radio code inquiry".

Authorization will be requested from the system: Then the operating data, the VIN and the radio serial number of the radio and radio/navigation system will be automatically read out.

Note

When installing new radio / radio-navigation unit, or a unit which has not be adapted to the vehicle, it can happen that tester will not be able to read the serial number of the radio / radio-navigation unit. In this case, enter the serial number manually. The serial number can be found on a sticker on the unit and is also stamped into the side of the unit.

Then the anti-theft code will be displayed in the tester.

The radio navigation system anti-theft code must not be entered manually.

Deactivating the Anti-Theft Coding

• Switch on radio navigation system.
• Enter the anti-theft code appearing in the display in the "RNS 310" number block and confirm it.

Unit is enabled and ready for operation.

Note

If the anti-theft code has been entered incorrectly, it can be corrected immediately in another attempt. If anti-theft code is entered incorrectly twice, then the radio navigation system is locked for an hour. Leave radio navigation system and ignition switched on. The remaining running time appears in the radio navigation system display. After one hour, then the procedure for deactivating the anti-theft system can be repeated. Remember that you always have two attempts to enter the code. After that, the radio navigation system will be locked up for one hour.
