Default Kenwood locked down

I have a kenwood CD player in the truck i just bought. i had to reset the ecm and when i did it it reset the cd playerand now i dont have a radio. i called the dealership that i bought it from but the people that it was traded from did not have the code either. i'm hoping that somebody knows something i can do because i'm going crazy without my radio. oh and the closest people that can unlock it are by dallas and i'm by amarillo. and i'd rather not have to send it in.

pull the radio out. you may have been lucky and the installer wrote it on the unit. If not while you have it out get the serial # and all the info off it and call kenwood.

I would be happy that you can send it in...

On the other hand:
How do they check ownership?

That means every thief can send in a stolen unit and have it reactivated.
Thank god, I don't have a Kenwood...
