Hi, does anyone know how to reset or get a new code / unlock the radio ? It's a year 2005 car and it's bought from my dad's friend, unfortunately she forgotten the security code, and now when I turn on the radio, it just says OFF, I believe I need some kind of 4 digit security code but my dad's friend forgot about it, any way to solve this issue ?

cannot hack one. consider to replace new head units ?

Just upgrade to new android player, settle

My Car aslo same issue, i purchased a used outlander. The previous owner set password. Now my car unable to unlock the radio.
I did callKenwood malaysia, they said they can help to reset but have to pay RM100.
How did you solve this?

Try usual password like 0000, 1111, 1234. If still cannot change other player.

Upgrade to android player 😃

Hey i didnt want to go through all those troubles so I solved it by upgrading to a android player

Android player only good if you like big screen & always link to your phone for music & movies.
For radio receiving & sound quality those ori & branded HU normally can win them anytime for similar pricing.

I revert back to normal Pioneer 2xxx series after my Android player spoilt, sound quality & radio receiving quality is far more better even without adding any additional amps or fm receiving booster, since i see more on the road than my HU i dont care about the large screen as i felt sometime is quite distracting.

I prefer to stic with original player, most of the time i listen to local radio channel and sometimes i connect bluethooth for songs. I kinda agree to lttlefire where the most of the android players dont give the sound quality and the radio frequency always will have noise. So i willing to spend RM100 to reset the password.

Good info there, im just about to change my camry acv30 radio unit which also a pioneer with audio cd slot, since i got lots of physical audio cd, i guess its better not to change to android player
