Command replacement - anti theft

Hi,

I need a little help, I replaced my command radio by one bought from ebay, I have it's unlocking code, but it keeps showing the message "anti theft protection please contact your MB dealer"

By restarting it i was able to enter the engineering mode but cant find any place where enter this code. any tips what to do ?

I hope it doesn't require coding on MBstar...

Any help is appreciated

Cheers
Peter

Retrofit may require coding by dealer: http://mercedes-benz.custhelp.com/ap...-comand-screen
