Hello My W169 came without a GPS so I bought one on ebay from the same vehicle.
The problem is that it is locked out.
I get the message Anti Theft Device activated. obviously it is not stolen.
But I have been told that only Mercedes can free it at considerable cost.
Does anyone now a way around this problem.
Thanks for any help
Regards
Les
 
On my Star Diagnostic, in developer mode I can see an option to enable or disable the Anti Theft feature. Not sure if developer mode can actually disable the Anti Theft feature when the head unit is installed in a different vehicle to the one it was in when the Anti Theft feature was enabled?
 
Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I have the PIN but can't enter it because the Anti Theft locks the unit. I don't have the diagnostic tool.

The only way to enter this is via STAR XENTRY tool. Where are you located?
 
During the initial startup sequence the Xentry system will ask for the PIN code.

There are two ways of doing this. Properly and brute force.

Do the job properly and get the car correctly coded. We can do it for you for £199 inc.
