This shit is driving me crazy; I bought a Kenwood DDX 7019 6.5" touchscreen dvd player from a dude on here this past summer. A week ago i let the battery die in my truck (facepalm), when the battery died, the unit reset itself and now wants the security code. I have no clue what i did with it, i tore my house apart, no luck, called the dude i bought it from, no luck. Does anyone have any idea how i can figure this one out. Its a four digit numerical securite code, there are numbers 0-9, thousands of possibilities. I cannot send it to Kenwood being as i do not have the original bill of sale. Yes i know it is all my own stupidity, accepted, but help a man out.........

looks like you will have lots of fun getting the number using the brute force strategy. IE 0001, nope. 0002, nope......

WaterCop

Haha, thats exactly what i dont want to have to resort to

nftuatn

i dont think there is any other choice...check quick numbers


like
1111
2222
and so on....like 6969 9696 5555

you would be surprised how many people just hit the same button...

also call a kenwood dealer and ask them if it has a master reset anywhere...some decks do just for this reason...

WaterCop

Werd, yeah im trying to convince this dude at work to let me pay him $20 to figure it out that way, he only gets paid if he figures it out

WaterCop

Well, im still working at it using teh above method, so far 4200 attempts. Is it possible to get some kind of computer program to do this shit? the kenwood has a usb port on it, is there any kind of compatable numerical brute force code cracking program out there that any one knows of?

DAMNIT!!!

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!

Yeah i did try that, where the passord comes up there is no "...." or ...., i think that is for a different model, KCAR neg results too. Thanks for looking tho man.
