WANT: Kenwood code locked stereos

[Barry & Nikki]

ONLY code locked. Nothing else in Kenwood. If it turns on and CODE is
displayed on the screen and you cannot get any functions to work those are
the ones. Email me with what you have and maybe we can work something out.

out of curiosity, Why?

[Charles B. Summers]

Maybe he's found a master code???

I read that my Kenwood has the lockout feature, but didn't take the time to
figure out how to program it. I'd just hate to think that I'd have to enter
that code, along with everything else I have to do, every time I got in my
truck. I still think it's a cool idea if that's what people want. Still, I
wonder if it would deter a thief? Especially some kid that don't care what
he/she is stealing. They didn't seem to care about what that POS unit was I
had in my Bronco once, and really didn't care about the condition of my dash
unit either...

My Kenwood HU uses a code but it is only activated when the battery is
removed or you reset the HU. If you don't enter a code the HU will not
require one. Well..that is how it works with my new deck.

Of all the theft deterant ideas that have come down the pike, I think those
"lock-out" code decks are about the dumbest; I can't believe they would
deter ANY thefts at all. I suppose the idea is that after your deck is
stolen, as you drive down the street in your music-less ride, you will be
comforted in the idea that the crook who stole it can't use it? Well, that
makes it all worth while! They must assume that these thieves research HU's
and carry around buying guides and would know that your HU is unusable. As
we all know, however, most thieves are stoned out crack-heads.

Along the same lines, there was an amp maker (Grenade or something like
that?) that had a pin that had to be inserted before it would work. Same
deal. A crook is not going to look to see if the pin is inserted, because
the crook isn't going to have a FRICKIN' CLUE that the amp he just stole
needs a pin!

Damn. I was just going to post this point. Agreed 100%. The deck is
gone, stolen, goodbye. Who gives a rats ass if the theif throws it in
the garbage or makes a crack pipe out of it. The whole point is to not
have the thief break into your car at all. Same reason I don't like
Eclipse. I shiny nice head unit is like a fishing luir to a crook. He
won't know its useless until he rips it out of your car.

LOL

That gave me a ridiculous mental image.....

you can try the factory code of 000

if that doesn't work, pull the unit out of the dash, throw it to the ground,
hit is with a hammer 3 times, and then buy a new HU. That combo works
everytime.

We can rebuild him......

That's pretty much what I was thinking...

Do you have the technology? Can you make them better than they were before?
Better? Stronger? Faster?

You two are showing your age... and making me feel old in the process.

Now stop it!

Or just replace the 50cent eeprom, or simply cut pin 8 of the eeprom.
