Some electronic components and control units are fitted with component protection as standard, e.g. the Infotainment system.
The component protection permits a correspondingly qualified workshop to legitimately install or replace components and control
units. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership.
The component protection prevents the full operation of factory-supplied components outside the vehicle in the following situations:
—Installation in other vehicles, e.g. after theft.
—Operation of components outside the vehicle.
If a text message about component protection appears in the display of the instrument cluster or the screen of the Infotainment
system, go to a correspondingly qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership.
