Pull the radio back out. I bet you hooked up both power wires (red and orange or yellow) to the ignition on hot wire. Orange or yellow depending on the radio usualy goes to the ignition on hot wire and red to a constant hot wire. Check the radio wiring diagram or list. One of the power wires has to go to a full time power source. check the wires with a circuit tester with the key off till you find the constant hot wire (battery power)

Pull your unit out and check the back end of it-there should be a mini fuse inserted in there-check it out.

A remote has nothing to do with it if it isnt stolen take it back to where you purchased it or call poineer with receit if its stolen ill explain how to jailbreak it for 10 bucks crime pays me i guess and your the thief lol

I spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out how to get the "Clk Adj" screen on the KDC-MP228. Here is the solution (dont waste your time reading the manual, it does not explain this). First, I had screwed up my settings so I did a factory reset (hold in the reset button). Then, you need to turn off Demo Mode (in standby click the Menu button and then use the control button to navigate to "Demo On". Hold the control button in to turn Demo on or off (this is different from all of the other controls in the manual). Now that Demo is off, click Menu button again and use the Control button to navigate through the options, one of which is "Clk Adj". At that point, you can follow the instructions in the manual (Hold in Control button until the clock blinks (approx 2 seconds), then use the FM/AM buttons to change the Hours and the << >> buttons to change the Minutes). Press the Control button again to save your changes. I cannot believe how difficult it was to set the clock on this device, someone should smack the developer who wrote that code.

Search here for KENWOOD CODE and check his advice. I believe the code is 5227 and your remote is required to enter the code.

Hi there,

I normally ignore problems that have more than two syllables, but in this case I made an exception. For breaking my own rules, I fully expect a four thumb rating.

LOOK FOR RESET BUTTON, OR UNPLUG THE LUG FROM THE POWER(12V) AND REPLUG IT, ...OR IF ANY CMOS BATTERY IS FOUND INSIDE, MOVE IT AND REPLACE IT...HOPE IT WORKS

Most likely the remote is bad and needs to be replaced.

my model is kdc-136

Here is your manual. Click the link.

If it is an older vehicle you could have interference from the ignition system. You can wire the radio to be powered up from a toggle switch that get its power straight from the battery, with a fuse between the battery and switch of course. This will eliminate powering up the radio with the ignition switch and take the ignition system out of it. Also need to make sure the ground wire is grounded good and the ground wire is the same wire guage if not larger than the power wire.

nothing wrong , there are two power wires , one for memory and the other for key on power , memory must have power regardless of key on or off

In generic terms, you need to change the zone or area to Europe (probably from US).
Typically this is done via the menu function and looking for something like ZONE or AREA and then changing the setting to indicate EUROPE.

It will have to be sent in to Kenwood.

The only CLARION code available for free (using a serial number ) from anywhere on the Internet is if your radio also has a BARCODE SERIAL NUMBER beginning with C7000000 + + + + on a label somewhere on the metal casing.

(There are usually two barcodes on one label. The one required is the lower one )



If not then it will only be available from your Main Dealer or a Decoding
