If I replace my Radio Boost with another (mine's got a fault, and putting a cheap replacement unit will be cheaper than getting the main dealer to find and fix the real fault) will the new one just plug in and work...without a security code??

I've got the stereo manual and it says "The equipment has an automatic anti-theft alarm system. Manual input of a security code is not required".

What's the 'Automatic anti-theft alarm system' mean?
