Activating anti-theft alarm 

During initial operation  of the radio and navigation unit (A2/56)  it is necessary to activate the anti-theft alarm  with the aid of the hand-held tester.

IMPORTANT After activation has been accomplished, deactivation is no longer possible.

Only after activation is it necessary to enter a 5-digit code after interruption of the power supply. When entering the code observe:

IMPORTANT The waiting time expires only with the radio and navigation unit (A2/56)  switched on.

Inserting and ejecting CD 

CDs can be inserted and ejected (audio or navigation CD) in all operating states. After pressing the "eject button" a CD already inserted is ejected  by a motor. If the CD is not removed within approx. 14 seconds, it is pulled back in automatically.

After inserting  a CD it is necessary to push it a slight distance into the CD opening; it is then pulled in the rest of the way automatically.

IMPORTANT When a navigation CD is inserted the menu for entering destination  is activated automatically. However, this applies only when the system has previously requested that the navigation CD be inserted.

IMPORTANT The eject button for the CD drive also functions when the radio and navigation unit (A2/56)  is in the "code wait state". This means that a CD can be removed in spite of the request to enter the anti-theft code.
