Reading out car radio

Reading out and transferring car radio codes

Note

When installing a new PCM/CDR in a vehicle, the PCM/CDR code specified in IPAS should be
present. Normally, the code is stored in the instrument cluster, and is read out from the PCM/CDR.

• 

You can get the codes from IPAS or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification
number.

• 

During coding, there should be a guaranteed power supply for the PIWIS tester 9718. It is essential
to connect a battery charger with a current rating of at least 40 A to the vehicle battery.

• 

The PIWIS tester 9718 instructions take precedence and in the event of a discrepancy these are the
instructions that must be followed. Deviations may occur with later software versions.
