Radio Calibration

The audio system is calibrated to the vehicle at the factory. If CALIBRATE (CAL) appears on the display the radio is not configured properly to the vehicle. A scan tool is used in order to diagnose a calibration error and configure the radio to the vehicle.

The Theftlock feature works automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If the radio is moved to a different vehicle, it will not operate and LOC will be displayed.

When the Theftlock feature is activated, the radio will not operate if stolen.
