The procedure for entering the security code differs on various models of Kenwood car stereos. Here are three of the more common procedures:Type 1
  • During the code request mode, while pressing the DISP key, press and hold the Volume UP or DOWN key for 3 seconds until the "..." display disappears.
  • Enter the security code with the Kenwood remote.
Type 2
  • Press the "Auto" button and "Track up" on the face of radio at the same time until the four dash lines disappear.
  • Enter the security code with the Kenwood remote.
Type 3: Model# DPX-4020 and DPX-4030
  • Press and hold the 1 then the 6 preset keys until the display shows the letter C.
  • Enter the security code with the Kenwood remote.
Entering Letters with a Kenwood Remote

To enter a letter with a Kenwood remote, press a button once for the first letter, twice for the second letter, and three times for the third letter. Press the Track Up or Next Track key to send the letter.

To send the letter A, press the 2 key once then press the Track Up key. To send the letter B, press the 2 key twice then press the Track up key.

Finally, when all of the letters are entered, press and hold the Track Up button for 3 seconds.

The key sequence to enter the security code KCAR is:

  • 5
  • 5
  • Track Up
  • 2
  • 2
  • 2
  • Track Up
  • 2
  • Track Up
  • 7
  • 7
  • Track Up

The Kenwood should then enter tuner mode.

A Security Code Bug in Some Kenwoods

There is a reported bug in the security code handling of some Kenwood stereos. In models with the bug, the security code is stored incorrectly. The workaround is to enter the wrong security code.

In models with this bug, decrement the third character of the security code by one. For example, if the security code is 1111, enter it as 1101. If the security code is 9999, enter 9989.
