Hi Chris,

Beginning on the bottom of page 34 in the KDC-7024 manual - you'll find the details concerning the security code. if you do not recall your security code, you will probably need to contact Kenwood Car Entertainment Support for additional help.

I hope this is the info you're looking for & good luck!

1:-Select SOURCE Select ALL OFF
2:-Press MENU for 1 second, When "menu" is displayed "security"/"SECURITY" is displayed
3:-Press the [<<] or [>>] for one second. When "ENTER" is displayed "CODE" is displayed
4:-Select the digits to enter by pressing [<<] or [>>] button.
5:-Select the security code numbers by pressing [am] or [fm] button.
Repeat steps 4 & 5 to complete the code.
7:- Confirm the code by pressing [>>] for at least 3 seconds
When "RE-ENTER" is displayed "CODE" is displayed.
Go through steps 4,5,6,&7 again to re-enter the code and "APPROVED" should now be displayed? The security code activates?
Press the re-set button and remove from power source Turn ON go through steps 4,5,6,&7 to enter CODE and "APPROVED"" should be displayed.
Crikey need a beer now, Happy tunes, have a good drive.

Common Kenwood Security Codes
Many Kenwood radios are configured with the same security codes:

KCAR - This seems to be a "backdoor" to some Kenwood models.
3051 - This is the security code which is printed in the manual of many Kenwood models.
1234 - This is a security code commonly chosen by Kenwood owners.
Entering Your Kenwood Security Code
If the car battery fails or is disconnected, the Kenwood will ask for the security code.

The procedure to enter your security code differs on various models of Kenwood car stereos. Here are three of the more common 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 until the "..." display disappears.
Enter the security code using your Kenwood remote.
Type 2
Press the "Auto" button and "Track up" on the face of radio at the same time until the four dash lines disappear.
Enter the security code using your Kenwood remote.
Type 3: Model# DPX-4020 and DPX-4030
Press and hold the 1 then the 6 preset keys until the display shows the letter 'C'.
Enter the security code using your Kenwood remote.
Entering Letters on your Kenwood Remote
To enter a letter using your Kenwood remote, press a button once for the first letter, twice for the second letter, and three times for the third letter -- then press the Track Up or Next Track key to send the letter.

To send the letter 'A', press the 2 key once and then press the Track Up key. To send the letter 'B', press the 2 key twice and then press the Track up key.

Finally, when you are done entering all of the letters, press and hold the Track Up button for 3 seconds.

The key sequence to enter the security code KCAR is:

5
5
Track Up
2
2
2
Track Up
2
Track Up
7
7
Track Up
Your Kenwood should then enter tuner mode.

A Security Code Bug in some Kenwoods
There is a reported bug in the security code handling of some Kenwood stereos. In models with thie bug, the security code is stored incorrectly. The workaround is to enter the wrong security code.

In models with this bug, you have to decrement the third character of the security code by one. If your security code was 1111, you would enter your security code as 1101. If your security code was 9999, you would enter 9989.

http://techbybucky.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-reset-security-code-on-kenwood.html........ you may need to buy a remote for 9.50 you can find that here http://store.kenwoodusa.com/detail/KWD%20A70-2069-15
this will reset the security code on your kenwood kdc-3028

wellllll the most common cause of no sound it that there is a factory amplifier in the vehicle that is not turning on with the radio.. this is done by using the remote turn on wire from the aftermarket deck. or it could be a blown speaker that is shorting out the amp in the deck
