I have a Kenwod KDC-MPV619 and the remote was lost. I need the reset code to unlock deck.
I had the same problem with my kdc-mpv619. I had bought a new truck that didn't have a remote and the screen says enter code. You do need a remote to fix it, but what they don't tell you is a universal remote will work. I used my direct tv remote and looked up all the codes for kenwood.
The one that worked for me was 30337 (not sure if that would work for you).
1) The way I tested it was go to my stereo and I held down the display button + volume up button. (This should remove the - - - - sign but it will still say CODE).
2) Then you press the 5 button on the remote and if the screen says CODEK then you know the remote works.
(to switch from K to C to A to R press the (>>) button on the screen.
3) Enter the code KCAR (the display will say CODEKCAR)
4) Final Step is hold do the fast forward button (>>) on the screen.
It should work for you after that ;-)
According to Kenwood you need the remote to input any numbers. Your best bet would be to go to a local car audio dealer and ask them to help you. They may let you use their floor model remote. The only other solution would be to buy another remote from Kenwood or the car audio dealer.
