Enabling Codes (FSC) Required After CIC Replacement
If, during the course of diagnosis, a CIC needs to be replaced, the only part that should be installed is a new part that has not been previously installed in a vehicle.


Note: The CIC enabling codes are VIN-specific and if installed in another vehicle, the Navigation System and the Voice Recognition System (SVS) will not function. Do not swap parts from donor vehicles. And the enabling codes that are downloaded via ASAP are in a compressed file format.

CIC Navigation Enabler Release Code (to activate Release Code functionality)

CIC Navigation Application Release Code (to activate the navigation function)

CIC Voice Repair Release Code (to activate voice control SA620)
