Volkswagen Golf Owners Manual: Component protection
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
Some electronic components and control units are fitted with component protection as standard, e.g the radio or navigation system.
Component protection was developed as a protective mechanism in order to:
- Prevent any factory-fitted parts delivered with a vehicle from functioning fully if they have been installed into other vehicles (e.g. after theft),
- Prevent full function of components outside of the vehicle,
- Allow for legitimate installation or exchange of parts and control units by a professional in the case of service.
