I have a kenwood excelon kdc-x790. I had security code active,and recently had to take the battery out of my car.
When I put it back in the enter security code screen was displayed.
It has been so long sence I set the security code I can't remember the code.
Please help me with this matter,for my car audio system is the 2nd attraction to my car.but without it I'am afraid it does'nt hold for much compatition!!!!!!

KENWOOD SECURITY CODE CLEAR procedure
Your radio will require one of the following procedures.
Type 1
During the code request mode, while holding the DISP key depressed, press and hold the Volume UP or DOWN key for 3 seconds (so that “…” disappears).
Then using your remote enter your code.
Type 2
Press the "Auto" button and "Track up" on face of radio at the same time. The four dash lines ( . . . . ) should "disappear".
Then using your remote enter your code.
Type 3
Model# DPX-4020 and DPX-4030
Press and hold the 1 then the 6 preset key (preset keys are the buttons on face of radio for storing you "favorite" radio stations). "C" should display.
Then using your remote, enter your code.
Enter your number from the remote control unit. Your code number is 5227 (KCAR)
* Press numeric key “5” ( 2 times ) and press the Track UP/Next Track key
* Press numeric key “2” ( 3 times ) and press the Track UP/Next Track key

The security is canceled and the set enters the TUNER mode!
