Component protection
Some electronic components and control modules, such as the Infotainment system, are equipped with component protection at the factory.
The component protection allows suitably qualified professionals to legitimately install or replace components and control modules. Volkswagen recommends contacting your Volkswagen dealership.
In the following situations, component protection reduces the risk of components supplied by the factory being operated without restrictions outside the vehicle.
-
Installation in other vehicles, for example the components have been stolen
-
Operating components outside of the vehicle
If a message about component protection appears in the instrument cluster display or on the Infotainment system screen, contact a suitably qualified professional for assistance. Volkswagen recommends contacting your Volkswagen dealership.
