Title: KENWOOD help
Post by: Trispage on 18 June 2011, 18:47

My two boys (9&12) clubbed together and bought me a KDC-w4531 head unit off eBay ( wife's account). It turns out that it is code locked and when I power it up it just says waiting. It has been in the car for about 24 hours and actually turned on for about two. I don't have the code for it so is there anything I can do
