BACKGROUND

This service bulletin describes where to attach the audio unit anti-theft code labels that come in the glove box of vehicles equipped with anti-theft audio systems.

If a vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft audio system, there are three peel-off labels in the glove box. Fig 1 . Two of the labels have both the anti-theft code and the audio unit's serial number, and a third label contains only the serial number for the audio unit.

During TQI, stick the label with only the serial number on the outer-left surface of the glove box. If the radio code ever needs to be retrieved through the ACURALINK 2000 system, this will save you the time and labor of removing the audio unit to record the serial number.

NOTE:
  • Also perform this procedure when installing an accessory audio unit that is equipped with an anti-theft system.
  • If a remanufactured audio unit is installed in a vehicle, remove the old labels and install new ones on the glove box, Radio Identification Card, and the vehicle's service records.
  • If the glove box is ever replaced, transfer the label from the old glove box to the new one.

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
