put brake wire to ground

If you are trying to ground the radio it is the black wire. If you are trying to watch video while driving it is the light green wire. Just ground the light green wire and you will be set.

well since it does eject, i believe its still getting power,
have you tried the small reset button??
i believe its on the faceplate of your indash.
just press it and hold it for a few secs, the indash should turn itself on when done.

hi there
on the back of this unit is a green brake wire you need to buy a 3 pined toggle switch ...........you need to take a small but mid size length speaker wire and attach to 12v (red wire) going into back of kenwood unit add another speaker wire to the ground wire (black wire) of kenwood unit... now on the 3 pined toggle switch add the power speaker wire to the toggle switch add the ground speaker wire to the toggle switch once this is done add the green wire to the last toggle switch pin........put the kenwood unit back in dash.......now turn the car and toggle switch on...........put in a DVD and if screen shows DVD all is done...... but if the screen does not show the DVD......just switch the green wire with the black wire on the toggle switch and now it should work
hope this helps

On bypasses you can either hook the parking brake wire straight to ground, if that does not work you can install a toggle switch between the parking brake wire and ground so you can mimic the parking brake on off.

Hi someone stole the head unit out of my car but left behind the brain and wiring.

Red,black,orange,pink. bottom is yellow,hole,green,light blue/yellow

The answer is simple "no" as the KVT-617DVD player and most other units are only made per batch now so they is no parts like the one you require as it was one main unit per unit and no overstocks but the simple parts were generic but the part you need was only ever to be used with the unit you have now.

It will be more cost effective to buy a replacment ..start over ..

you need to contact to Kenwood for any code....

Go to the kenwood site:
www.kenwoodusa.com\support\
Choose:
Owners Manual

From the drop down menu and select the model you want.
It will give you the choice of 2 pdf files, the owners manual and installation guide. The installation guide has the wiring harness diagram.

Contact the manufacture and tell them your kid was playing around with it and accidently locked it. They might make you send it in or/and charge you a fee. Good luck.

It sounds like there is a short somewhere in your wiring. If the problem got worse when you installed the aftermarket stereo then it may be on the factory side of the plug. You may try powering the stereo by some other means. For example, try a wire with an inline fuse directly from the fuse block to the power wire on the stereo. You can also tap into the ignition wire that way the only way it will get power is when the key is turned on. Don't forget the inline fuse if you try it that way. I had to do that with a stereo I once had.

KENWOOD SECURITY CODE CLEAR procedure


Your radio will require one of the following 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 (so that “…” disappears).
Then using your remote enter your code.

Type 2
Press the "Auto" button and "Track up" on face of radio at the same time. The four dash lines ( . . . . ) should "disappear".

Then using your remote enter your code.

Type 3
Model# DPX-4020 and DPX-4030
Press and hold the 1 then the 6 preset key (preset keys are the buttons on face of radio for storing you "favorite" radio stations). "C" should display.
Then using your remote, enter your code.


Enter your number from the remote control unit. Your code number is 5227 (KCAR)

* Press numeric key “5” ( 2 times ) and press the Track UP/Next Track key
* Press numeric key “2” ( 3 times ) and press the Track UP/Next Track key
* Press numeric key “2” ( 1 time ) and press the Track UP/Next Track key
* Press numeric key “7” ( 2 times ) and press the Track UP/Next Track key

The security is canceled and the set enters the TUNER mode!

Well if I were you I would contact the person I bought the car from. Try default password such as 0000 or 0123 or 1234

Their is no way to know for sure the password unless you set it. Talk to where ever you got it from and im sure they will give you the password.


I hope this helped
