Rip5 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2014 You may need Kenwood removal keys that came with the stereo. See page 29 for the key picture and page 32 of this manual. on how to do it. (The keys are the same for many Kenwood models with detachable face) http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/manuals/113/113kdcx491.pdf I would suggest replacing it with another Kenwood HU, as you may be able to use the existing wiring harness and be plug n' play. Maybe this unit would work for you. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_65892_Kenwood-KDC-BT555U.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_campaign=paid_search_google_pla&scid=scplp3797861&gclid=CIragsXkjbwCFcI-Mgod0xYAcg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhovey 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2015 I recently replaced mine with a Kenwood KMR-M312BT because I never listen to CD's anymore. This radio has bluetooth and USB streaming. No key required to remove stock radio, and I was able to plug the harness from the stock radio into the new one. Works great, but not compatible with older Kenwood remote.

Rip5 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2015 There you go. I have had 2 Kenwood HU's both required a key to remove them. Guess not all do...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy Steve 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2015 Yes, I have a 2008 and was able to remove the Kenwood without any keys. Just remove the trim piece that snaps around the radio and you'll see the screws to remove. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Violator 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2016 Wetsounds amps and speakers, don't under-power speakers and use at least 99%oxygen free copper tinned wire and get good rca cables! Oh and XS-Power batteries. Yeah its a little more impact on the wallet but it's well worth it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
