Repair of System has been locked. Contact your dealer in SLDA

Instead of throwing it away – send the radio to OEMatic. We have a method for this problem!

Suzuki SLDA

If you have entered the PIN code incorrectly 5 times, your Suzuki SLDA navigation has been completely locked. The radio tells you to contact the dealer, but unfortunately they do not have an effective solution for this. Apart from an expensive unit replacement. Instead of throwing it away – send the radio to OEMatic. We have a way to solve this problem!

What does SLDA mean?

Smartphone Linkage Display Audio is the full name of the multimedia system fitted in Suzuki cars. The manufacturer of SLDA is Bosch. The factory provided the option to switch it on and off, as well as to set your own security code for menu access.

How to lock the radio completely

If you have selected the “anti-theft protection with PIN code” function and set your own code, every time you disconnect power in the car you will see a screen asking for the password. This will happen, for example, when changing the battery. A good solution – until you remember which PIN you set. Worse if you have forgotten it and keep trying.. after 5 attempts the fun is over. The result is System has been locked. Contact your dealer.
