More importantly, is the car 6-cyl or 4-cyl?

Do some net research. I recently had one in for repair that was locked that i unlocked. I found on line a method of using the remote and front panel keys to unlock some models.

Codes are unique to each radio, and sometimes programmable by the owner. You'll have to find the owners manual to yours and get the number that came with YOUR radio, or hopefully you wrote it down. Otherwise, it would have to be sent back to a Kenwood service shop to be reset and given a new code. This may cost more than the radio is worth.

Best of luck, Tim

No, the number of cylinders is not significant. What is important is the number of doors. If the number of doors is even, then one process is needed to unlock it, and if the number of doors is odd, then another process is used.

Whatever happened to telling them to put the radio in the freezer overnight?

It didn't work when your parents did it to you, and it doesn't work on flash memory.

I know it doesn't work. But people used to say it did, which is why I mentioned it. There were plenty of other silly things about doors, but everyone forgot the obvious.

People come here for answers, not ignorant bullshit.

Then why did someone ask him the number of cylinders in the engine, and the number of doors on the car?

number of doors on the car?

You've never bought car parts at the dealer? They ask that when you buy a gas cap. The databases are set up that you need the year & model, along with other questions to drill down to the information you want. It is designed to be used by mechanics, not computer experts.

Not all of the ignorant stuff is intentional.

Because, just maybe, the phule would take the hint and reveal the manufacturer's model number of the radio.

I usually get asked the engine number. I never have this to hand and give them the make, model, year, etc. They are at a loss to find anything.

Good, because we don't need any more British birdbrains emigrating to the US.
