I connected the stereo in my car about a year ago and I put a code on it, now that I want to change the stereo into my pick up, it is asking for the code and I cant remeber it. I tried many but I can't seem to get the right one.Would any one know if I could reset the code and how?
hello, I just purchased this truck about three months ago, i needed a new battery and after replacing the duck said code. I then called the guy i purchased the vehicle from and he said he dose not have nor could remember it. so ouch i don't have a radio. is there a master reset or a master code? any help would be great. the nubers on the sterio are, 51201174 also y21-5310-12 modle # kdc-mp528

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!

if you bought the car new than it is a code that you entered if you forgot the code than you have to have it reset by a dealer if they can still do it. if you bought the car new and never entered a code than call the car dealer and ask them for the factory setting for your year and make and mode;.
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)
Not familar with your car but I had same problem many years ago with a Vauxhall Astra and did same as you, disconnected battery and re-connected, radio didn't work - but my display kept flashing for security code to be re-input, which I didn't have.
Yours could be the same if radio not worked since disconnection - solution: if you dont have code & not in any documentation you got with car, then the radio will need to be re-coded by a dealer (expensive) or enquire with local car spares shops - they normally know a cheaper source. Mine cost about £18 (5 years ago) to get re-coded & I had to remove & reinstall myself.
