If the code was activated and it's engaged (which it sounds like) You are pretty much screwed.

I know it has a security code.. but there are a lot of codes error codes remote codes. ect probaly the only way is to just try to get the right one chances are it will take hour upon hour of trying before you would get lucky enough to get the right one. you could always try comon ones like 1234 1111 things like that most people pick things like that good luck

I think all my kenwood head units had numericle codes but i read some one claims that kcar will reset the raido read post below. note if this does work for one model it may work for yours too.
Guys; First thing, Forgive my english mistakes but i'm a spanish native speaker and i live in South America. żok? I bought a KDC519 in Ebay for 25 bucks, really cheap, but this player asked for security code and seller said you got to figure out to unlock, and this is was i do. IN YOUR RADIO: DISPLAY WILL ASK FOR CODE AND CODE ---- APPEARS ON, SO, HOLD .DISP AND PRESS VOL UP AT LEAST 3 SECONDS. THE "----" WILL DISSAPREAR. NOW TAKE YOUR REMOTE AND DIGIT "KCAR" WITH THE NUMBER PAD. PRESS "5", "5", >>| (NEXT TRACK) YOU GOT A "K" PRESS "2", "2","2" >>| (NEXT TRACK) YOU GOT A "C" PRESS "2", >>| (NEXT TRACK) YOU GOT A "A" PRESS "7", "7", YOU GOT A "R" PRESS >>| (NEXT TRACK) IF DISPLAY SHOWS "APPROVED" YOU'RE DONE this method remove code.
i have my doubts if this will work.

you need to pull the unit completely out and on the back of the unit you'll need to write down ALL the numbers including serial number. In your manual, there should be a phone# for either their tech support or their Customer Service, call that number and give them the numbers from the back of the headunit when asked, they'll give you the code. You'll need to disconnet positive battery cable and let it sit for 5 minutes or so, put positive cable back on and put in the code.
PS>>> A tip>>> if you put in your "security code" wrong three times, you'll need to again disconnect positive terminal for 5 minutes to let the entire headunit reset it slef. Good Luck!!!

I agree with Rusty on this one. If its anything like Eclipse, then you will need to call Kenwood and ask them what to do.

There are no factory codes for Kenwood. Like many companies you can damage your radio by using internet fixes to unlock your radio. Call Kenwood and they will tell you how to have it unlocked without damage.

actually new kenwood cd players do have a factory code. i had to reset one the other day. the code was, i think, in the kids manual. he actually called kenwood. they told him where it was, and not to forget it, because there would be a fee for the code next time. he used the actual faceplate to type it in as well. i thought it was stupid as hell. i hate oem codes, now aftermarket has them??

They will tell you the same exact sequence that was a couple of posts above. You have to use the remote, but the KCAR is the standard reset code. I know for a fact it will work with any of the 28, 32, or 35 series radios with a remote. I've had to do it about ten times just this year already for customers that don't write down their code when they set it......

this is directly copied from the tech-lit our kenwood rep gave to us in our sales/training meeting.
Your deck has the volume up and down buttons, not the knob. So the procedure should be...
Press & hold the Volume Up button. 1.While holding the Volume Up button, push and hold the Disp button. The "____" will disappear after about 5 sec. 2.Enter KCAR using the remote control from a higher end CD Receiver or and Excelon CD Receiver. Enter "KCAR" with the remote controller as described below. "K": Press track up key (>>) after pressing the 5 key twice. "C": Press track up key (>>) after pressing 2 key once "A": Press track up key (>>) after pressing the 2 key three times. "R": Press track up key (>>) after pressing 7 key twice. *If you commit a mistake in the code entry, the unit enters the code request mode again 3. Press the track advance button on the remote to enter the override code. 4. The unit will enter the All Off or Standy mode if done propery.
