RADIO
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft protection
system based on the exchange of information between
the radio and the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) present on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety and prevents
the secret code from being entered each time the radio
power supply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the radio will start
to function, whereas if the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit (Body Computer)
is replaced, the device will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure described in the
paragraph below.
Entering the password
When the radio is switched on, if the password is
requested, the display will show
“Radio code” for about 2 seconds followed by four
dashes “----”.
The secret code is made up of four digits from 1 to 6,
each corresponding to one of the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press the button
corresponding to the pre-selected stations (from 1 to 6).
Enter the other code digits in the same way.If the four digits are not entered within 20 seconds, the
display will show “Enter code ----”. If this occurs, it is not
considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds), the
car radio will work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio will emit a
sound and the display shows the text “Radio
blocked/wait” to notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect code, the waiting
time gradually increases (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min,
16 min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) to a maximum
of 24 hours. The waiting time will be shown on the
display with the text “Radio blocked/wait”. After the text
has disappeared it is possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Code card
This document certifies the ownership of the car radio.
The Code Card contains the model of the radio, the
serial number and the secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card somewhere safe so
that the authorities can be supplied with the relevant
information if the radio is stolen.

RADIO
IMPORTANT When the function is activated the radio
may take a few seconds to start playing. Whilst checking
the disc the display will show “CD READING”. If no
MP3 files are detected, the radio will resume playing the
audio session from the point where it was interrupted.
DISPLAY INFORMATION
ID3-TAG information display
In addition to the information relating to the time
elapsed, folder name and file name, the radio is also
capable of displaying ID3-TAG information relating to
Title track, Artist and Author.
The name of the MP3 folder shown on the display
corresponds to the name with which the folder was
stored on the CD, followed by an asterisk.
Example of a complete MP3 folder name: BEST OF*.
When ID3-TAG data is chosen to be displayed (Title,
Artist, Album) that has not been recorded for the track
played, the information will be replaced by that relating
to the name of the file.SELECTION OF NEXT/PREVIOUS FOLDER
Press the button
▲to select the next folder or the
button ▼to select the previous folder. The display will
show the number and the name of the folder (e.g. “DIR
2 XXXXXX”).
XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display will only show
the first 8 characters).
The folders are selected cyclically: the first folder is
selected after the last folder and vice versa.
If no other folder/track is selected during the next
2 seconds, the first track contained in the new folder
will be played.
If the last track in the folder at that moment selected is
played, the next folder will be played.
STRUCTURE OF THE FOLDERS
The radio with MP3 player:
❒ recognises only the folders that contain MP3 format
files;
❒ if the MP3 files on a CD-ROM are structured in “sub-
folders”, their structure is compressed to a single
level structure, where the “sub-folders” are taken to
the level of the main folders.
