Kenwood HU reads "ALL OFF"

[Enoc003]

I'm installing an old Kenwood KDC-MPV7019 head unit that I've had kicking around in my basement for years into my 2003 GMC Envoy because the factory CD player finally quit on me. I have on-star but no Bose sound system and therefore used the Metra GMOS-01 Module to keep all the safety chimes and on-star working.

I got everything wired up correctly (I think) for the Kenwood and everything seemed to hook up nicely in my truck but when I turned on the power the display reads "CODE ON" and then prompts me to enter the security code...once entered it reads "ALL OFF" and nothing works.

I can get into the menu/settings and I've read the manuel a hundred times over and can't figure out what the problem is.

Has anyone had this happen and/or know how to fix it?

Thanks,

Scott

seems like mine did this too. idk what i did to fix it though. maybe press the "reset" button on the HU?

I've tried the 'reset' button a couple times as well and it just asked for the security code again and then goes back to reading "ALL OFF"

press source so it goes to tuner or cd... that's assuming it is the right code

There is a "SRC" button that powers the head unit down if I hold it in but it does nothing if I just press it. I'm also positive it's the right code.

Should I try reset thing with the remote if I can find out how to do it?

Any other ideas?

Ouch! That sucks...

Anyway...I have no clue what I did but I powered it up and input the code and now it works! Thanks to everyone that helped.
