Title: Stereo locked
Post by: Ada7 on August 08, 2008, 08:25:47 PM
When i changed my steering wheel last week i disconnected the battery as i didnt fancy the airbag going off in my face but annoyingly this has reset the stereo and now its asking for a code. I asked the previous owner (who fitted the stereo) but sadly he has forgotten it.

Its a Kenwood KDC-W8531 and is just showing 0-0-0-0

Have tried 0000 but no good.
Anyone got any ideas?? :(

i had this on a standard pug stereo and searched on teh net for a de-coder, that solved my problem but not sure if there is one for an aftermarket stereo

I\'m assume you have tried 1-2-3-4. Try Carlo @ 001 Mobile in Hersham.

the code could be anything the old user set it to failing that send it to a kenwood repair center and they can do it
