You will need to visit an Authorized Kenwood dealer or service center to get that unlocked.

Kenwood car stereos are protected against theft by four digit security codes. If a thief steals a Kenwood car stereo, they will not be able to use the stereo until they enter the secret for digit security code.
Unfortunately, many legitimate owners are also locked out of their Kenwood car stereos due to these security codes. This typically happens to people who buy used cars from people who forget to share the security code. However, it also happens to people who simply forget their security codes after several years.

• 
  
• 
  
• 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.
• f 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.

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.

seriousley dont go thorugh all that for this kenwood go buy your self a nice in car tv

I had a problem as well with my KDC-MP6025 after I changed my car's battery. I called Kenwood four times asking about why my security code wouldn't take, and on the fourth call the tech said some random 2004 models (definately the MP6025, and probably it's sister receivers the KDC-X678 and the MP625) the decks firmware subtracts one from the 3rd digit if the sequence, i.e., if you set it for code 1234, you'd have to enter 1224. Since I sent Kenwood my product registration, it would have been nice for them to tell me this. I would have been BS if I had found out after if I had kept my $60 appointment to get the code cracked at the authorized repair place Kenwood recommended.

Use KCAR for the code.

you should try the defaults 0000,0123,1234. in most cases unless you or the original owner put in the security code. Worse case it will just keep turning off till you get it right.

press the auto and track up, on the face at the same time. The four digit line should go away, then use your remote and enter yout code

The code is 5227

Kenwood Stereos do not have 5 digit codes. They are only a 4 digit code.
