Hey there joe,


Click here, it will bring to a Tip page authored by one of our best technicians (Robotek). He outlines the procedure for clearing the code on most Kenwood models.

If this gets you going, don't forget to give Robotek a rating Remember: Good things come to those who Rate!!

Unfortunately Kenwood codes are only available from the Main Dealer or by using a Radio Decoding Service who will connect a laptop to read the working code inside your radio`s memory chip (EEPROM)

I have a mp5028 and it tells me 2 enter the code.

you will need a remote for this
Common Kenwood Security Codes
Many Kenwood radios are configured with the same security codes:

KCAR - This seems to be a "backdoor" to some Kenwood models.
3051 - This is the security code which is printed in the manual of many Kenwood models.
1234 - This is a security code commonly chosen by Kenwood owners.
Entering Your Kenwood Security Code
If the car battery fails or is disconnected, the Kenwood will ask for the security code.

The procedure to enter your security code differs on various models of Kenwood car stereos. Here are three of the more common procedures:

Type 1
During the code request mode, while holding the DISP key depressed, press and hold the Volume UP or DOWN key for 3 seconds until the "..." display disappears.
Enter the security code using your Kenwood remote.
Type 2
Press the "Auto" button and "Track up" on the face of radio at the same time until the four dash lines disappear.
Enter the security code using your Kenwood remote.
Type 3: Model# DPX-4020 and DPX-4030
Press and hold the 1 then the 6 preset keys until the display shows the letter 'C'.
Enter the security code using your Kenwood remote.
Entering Letters on your Kenwood Remote
To enter a letter using your Kenwood remote, press a button once for the first letter, twice for the second letter, and three times for the third letter -- then press the Track Up or Next Track key to send the letter.

To send the letter 'A', press the 2 key once and then press the Track Up key. To send the letter 'B', press the 2 key twice and then press the Track up key.

Finally, when you are done entering all of the letters, press and hold the Track Up button for 3 seconds.

The key sequence to enter the security code KCAR is:

5
5
Track Up
2
2
2
Track Up
2
Track Up
7
7
Track Up
Your Kenwood should then enter tuner mode.

A Security Code Bug in some Kenwoods
There is a reported bug in the security code handling of some Kenwood stereos. In models with thie bug, the security code is stored incorrectly. The workaround is to enter the wrong security code.

In models with this bug, you have to decrement the third character of the security code by one. If your security code was 1111, you would enter your security code as 1101. If your security code was 9999, you would enter 9989.

How do I bypass the "Enter Code" message on a system that was purchased with the vehicle?

Hi TANJIASTREAT

I have written a Tip on how to overcome this problem. Checkout here

You do need the remote control to reset the code... If you dont have it, then you may have to go to a Kenwood Authorised service center. They will be able to do it for you. A FixYa rating would be tops for sorting this one out for you :) Cheers

Car remotes are not like universal TV remotes, you can not program them to work with a radio they were not designed to work with.

If this is the remote that came with the radio, you may just need a new battery.

I don't have the sevice info in front of me right now to tell you if this remote is compatible with your radio.
