How Do I Get My Kdc Bt 838u Car Stereo Out Of Security Mode?
My car battery went dead and once started, the kdc bt 838u displayed Security enter briefly the message changed to security and 4 spaces for a code. My remote, a kenwood rc-547 seems not to respond in any way. I did change the batteries to AAS but it seems unresponsive.
