Applies only to Fiat radio with code

The anti-theft coding prevents unauthorised use of the unit if the power supply is interrupted, for example by disconnecting the battery, removing the radio or a defective radio fuse.

If the radio is coded, determine the radio code before disconnecting the battery or removing the radio. If the code is not known, only a Fiat workshop can put the car radio back into operation.

The individual code number is given on the supplied "security code card". It should not be kept in the vehicle.

Cancel electronic lock

  • Restore power supply.

  • Switch on the ignition.

  • Switch on radio.

  • Press the "TP" button until CODE or SRFE appears on the display for about 3 seconds. Note: if CODE appears, anti-theft protection is deactivated; if SRFE appears, anti-theft protection is activated.

    From 4/98: press the "EXP", "A" and "T" buttons simultaneously.

  • Use the station buttons "1" to "4" to enter the secret code number. From 4/98: use station buttons "2" to "5".

  • To enter the first digit, press station button "1" (from 4/98: "2") repeatedly until the correct digit appears on the display.

  • To enter the second digit, press station button "2" (from 4/98: "3") repeatedly until the correct digit appears on the display.

  • Enter the remaining digits in the same way.

  • When the correct code number is readable on the display, confirm the code number entry. To do so, press the "TP" button (from 4/98: "EXP") until SRFE appears. After about 3 seconds the unit automatically switches to normal operating mode.

Note: if an incorrect entry is confirmed, SRFE appears in the display and the radio remains locked. After a waiting time, the SRFE display goes out and the number of failed entry attempts is shown. The anti-theft code can then be entered again. After each incorrect code, the waiting time before the next attempt is possible increases. Deactivate anti-theft protection

  • Switch on radio.

  • Press the "TP" button (from 4/98: "EXP", "A", " ") for about 3 seconds until SRFE is displayed.

  • From 4/98: press station button "2" until I appears on the display.

  • Enter code number.

  • Press the "TP" button (from 4/98: "EXP", "A", "") for about 3 seconds until CODE is displayed. After about 3 seconds the unit automatically switches to normal operating mode. The anti-theft code is deactivated.
