Volkswagen Golf Owners Manual: Component protection

Some electronic components and control units are fitted with component protection as standard, e.g the radio or navigation system.

- 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.
