Important information
Introductory information
Please read this Radio Blues (hereinafter referred to only as device) Owner's Manual carefully, because operation in accordance with these instructions is a
prerequisite for proper use of the unit.
This Owner's Manual describes all possible equipment variants without identify-
ing them as special equipment, model variants or market-driven equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-
nents described in these operating instructions.
The scope of equipment of your vehicle is related to your purchase contract for
the vehicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA Partner 1)
where you
bought the vehicle.
Please note that these instructions are meant only as an addendum to the infor-
mation presented in the Vehicle Manual for your vehicle. Therefore, they can be
used only in conjunction with the latest manual for this vehicle. For a detailed de-scription of some functions listed in these instructions, see the Vehicle Manual
for your vehicle.
If you have any questions about your device, please contact a ŠKODA Partner.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your device; they are only inten-
ded for general information.

Anti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding
Your device is equipped with a convenience coding. If the device is being operat-
ed for the first time, the safety code is not only stored in the device but also in
the vehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, you must switch on the igni-
tion using the ignition key before switching on the device.
If you want to install the device in another vehicle you will need to enter the safe-
ty code. In this case you will have to call on a specialist garage. 

2General information

As the unit only functions after entering the safety code, this practically excludes
its use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.
Note
The code is stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is automatically
decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not necessa- ry.
Enter code
›
Switch on the radio with the ignition turned on. SAFE is displayed and then
1000 .
›
Use the selection buttons 1 - 4
8
to enter the safety code.
›
Confirm the safety code by pressing the selection buttons 6
8
.
If an incorrectly entered code is confirmed, the procedure can be repeated once
again.
If the code number is entered incorrectly for the second time, the unit will be
blocked for approx. one hour. It is possible to enter the safety code again after
one hour has expired if both the device and the ignition have stayed turned on
during that time.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.
