I bought a expedition from my roommate about a week ago who pcsed to ft lewis washington.
He has a Kenwood Excelon KVT817DVD touch screen in dash in there. He sold me the car and he is now gone, I have no way of contacting him.
When I turn the car on and it pops out it says to type in a 4 digit code.
I tried contacting kenwood but with being in germany it only lets me go to the german website and I cant understand it so save my soul.
Anyone know what to do?
learn german… contact crutchfield and pretend you bought it from there… see if they can troubleshoot it… or call kenwood… they have to have a usa based site… seriously
Wrong section. Please follow the guidelines. Moved to auto electronics.
THE ONLY WAY , and I mean ONLY WAY, you can unlock it is to get the code from him. Kenwood does not have a universal unlock code for the new model Head Units and the can not reset it unless you send it to the to be done. And the only way the will except it from you is with a receipt to go along with it. They do have an American line i have called it many times. So I am worried that you Claim you tried calling and called the German line, because that would be harder to do than calling the American line, and the German line would give you an option to speak English.
So I am more concerned that this might be stolen. And so will Kenwood. So good luck, I just really hope you didn’t steal this because your story seems pretty shady. And if this is not stolen you are SOL without getting the original store receipt or the code from the person who has it.
start guessing codes haha
wellllllll there are only 4 places and 10 digits, so there are only a possible 10000 codes… shouldnt be too hard to just figure it out… rofl

^^^^ Shady or stolen.
I got more integrity then you will ever have my friend. When you join the military and deploy to Falcon Fob and buy a truck from someone and someone else tells you its stolen…
be very careful i know the eclipse headunits used a cd of your choice as the lock key and if you didnt put the correct cd in within 10 times it would lock up perminatly and you would have to send it out for it to be unlocked
you should trade it for my pioneer.
