Code Problem with a kenwood kdc-mp232 car audio

hi...try and check this site, there are lots of pdf about Kenwood KDC-MP232 CD Player...http://search.4shared.com/q/50/kenwood

Here is the manual:
http://www.masterspas.com/manuals_av/Kenwood_KDCMP232_Manual.pdf

From what I have read, you can set a new code, but you need to know the old code. You can also reset the code, but you need the old code. You can also disable the code, but you need the old code as well.

I would suggest trying different combinations of 4 digit codes, there are only 256 combinations. I am sure you will figure it out.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_69f3cc28d95bf514

Absolutely and it's free from Kenwood ... Just enter your model number HERE

showing "PROTECT" ON DISPLAY WHEN POWERED ON

i have the same radio the stock code on mine is 0000 try that ive also seen kenwood use 1234 or variants of it unhook the battery for a few mins and rehook it up it should reset the code to stock.

Aftermarket cd players are all universal and have the same colors. You need to go to your local car audio store such as walmart, bestbuy, ect and buy a wire harness adapter. Then all the wires are color coordinated to make it easy, just wire colored wires together and plug in. If I have helped please leave positive feedback. Thanks

This unit has an anti-theft program that is activated when a code is programed.

At this point forward, the power circuit is monitored, thus when the power is disconnected or drops below 12VDC it shuts down and the code must be entered to reactivate the unit and its functions.

Other circumstances that might trigger the anti-theft shut down are...

Bad power or ground connection to head unit.
A weak or faulty battery/alternator.
A blown fuse.
A sudden power surge, as happens when jump starting another car.

As for your personal 4 digit code, I cant help you with that but some high-end car audio dealers offer a diagnostic service that can reset a coded/locked out unit.

Good luck

please i dont remember my 4 digit and i cantnot use my kenwood kdc-mp232 please send me a 4 digit

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
* Press numeric key “2” ( 1 time ) and press the Track UP/Next Track key
* Press numeric key “7” ( 2 times ) and press the Track UP/Next Track key

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

"Protect" isn't for security on a Kenwood; it's caused by a problem with the speaker output. There may be a defect in the CD player, or you may have a blown speaker or a shorted speaker wire in the vehicle. Try disconnecting all the speakers and see if the unit still shows "protect" when you turn it on. If it still shows the "protect" message with no speakers connected, the unit needs to be serviced; if not, re-connect the speakers one at a time until you find out which one is causing the problem.
