## What Is Mercedes Anti-Theft Protection?

Mercedes Benz vehicles have a built-in anti-theft protection system for their head units (COMAND, Audio 10/20/50). When any of the following events occur, the head unit displays "Anti-Theft Protection Active" and becomes locked:

1. **Battery disconnection** — Most common cause. When the car battery is replaced or disconnected, the COMAND/Audio system loses its security handshake with the vehicle and activates anti-theft protection.
2. **Head unit replacement** — When a head unit is swapped (e.g., upgrading from Audio 20 to COMAND), the new unit needs an anti-theft code paired to the vehicle.
3. **Used head unit installation** — Installing a head unit from another vehicle triggers the protection.
4. **Low battery voltage** — If battery voltage drops below ~11.5V, the system may trigger the anti-theft lock.
5. **Software glitch** — Rare cases where the system activates without obvious cause.

To unlock the head unit, a specific **Anti-Theft PIN Code** is required. This code is unique to each head unit serial number and vehicle VIN combination.

## How to Use the Anti-Theft Code

After receiving the code via email, you need one of these tools to enter it into the head unit:
- **Xentry (Star Diagnostic)** — Official Mercedes diagnostic tool
- **Vediamo** — Mercedes engineering software
- **DTS Monaco** — Alternative diagnostic software
- **OBD diagnostic device** — Third-party OBD tools that support Mercedes

The code is entered through the diagnostic interface, not through the head unit screen directly.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: How do I find my Mercedes head unit serial number?**
A: The serial number is located on a label on the head unit itself (front panel, side, top, or bottom). It starts with letters like MEG, BE, A, or W, and is typically 14-16 characters long. It can also be read using an OBD diagnostic tool connected to the vehicle.

**Q: How long does delivery take?**
A: During business hours (UTC 06:00-18:00, 7 days a week), codes are delivered within 15-30 minutes via email. Outside business hours, delivery is within the next business period.

**Q: What if the code doesn't work?**
A: We have a 100% success rate. If for any reason the code doesn't work, we provide a full refund or work with you to resolve the issue.

**Q: Do you support stolen vehicles?**
A: No. We do not process codes for stolen parts or vehicles. If a stolen vehicle report is associated with the serial number, the order will be rejected and no refund will be issued.

**Q: Which countries do you serve?**
A: We serve all countries worldwide. The code is delivered via email, so geographic location doesn't matter. We accept payments in EUR, USD, GBP, TRY, RUB, and AED.

**Q: What's the difference between Anti-Theft PIN Code and MAP PIN Code?**
A: Anti-Theft PIN Code unlocks the head unit when it shows "Anti-Theft Protection Active" — this prevents unauthorized use of the unit. MAP PIN Code unlocks the navigation/map functionality specifically — this is needed when navigation maps need activation after a unit replacement or update.
