Note
The part number for the radio/navigation system is printed on a sticker on the radio/navigation system housing!
If the radio/navigation system has to be renewed, deactivate the anti-theft coding system
Chapter
. Please give the new code number to the customer.
If the anti-theft code is not known it can be requested via the established systems. You need the identification number of the radio navigation system in order to make the request. It is located on a sticker on the side of the radio. In addition, the identification number is also stamped into the material of the side wall of the radio navigation system.
If a radio navigation unit from one vehicle is fitted into another, it is vital that the part number of the replacement unit is the same as that of the unit previously installed. Otherwise faults will occur with the navigation because the turn angle sensor setting in the radio navigation system will not be compatible with the vehicle.
