Kenwood back-door code...
Kenwood back-door code...
Hi all. Recently purchased an '05 Civic with a Kenwood KDC-MP4028
installed. Pressed the little reset button on the front and now it
asks for the security code... bought it off the dealer, so I am unable
to contact the original owner. I have heard that there is a closely-
guarded security code for most late model Kenwood decks with this
feature. Does anyone have access to this information? I would really
rather not send the deck in to Kenwood. Just bought the car last week,
I can prove that in case anyone is wondering... I know a lot of people
ask this after having stolen a deck.
Really, what is the point when the deck is stolen and the damage is
done - it's not going to deter anyone from stealing a deck or breaking
in to your car in the first place! (I thought that was what removable
faceplates are for?)
And why do they put a reset button on the front of the deck? Silly...
someone with brains needs to design a deck without millions of stupid
buttons that do the opposite of what you'd think they would do.

No I am smart enough to use Google if I'm smart enough to come on to
Google Groups ;)
Those suggestions don't work on most newer Kenwoods except the flip-
ups.
