I hope you realize you made alot of people happy. I have had this radio for 3 years, and just accepted it and would save for another stereo someday,( i bought the car as is.) It worked the first time. Thank you thank you from ventura California you made my weekend!!
a new to me car just purchased 4 months ago had the battery die. I put in a new battery and it reset the radio asking for this password. found your instructions and worked like a charm! Everything is good to go now. Thanks brotherman for posting this!!
I never leave comments on TH-cam videos but THANK YOU!! I’ve been riding around in silence for 3 months and it worked! BRB about to go drive around for no reason lol
Thank you very much for in-depth explanation, after almost going one year with my stereo locked and not having the time to take it out and have it fixed, finally I was able to get it unlocked following these instructions, I had to do it a few times but managed to make it work. Once again, thank you very much!!!
I want to say "THANK YOU!!!!!!" for putting this out. I did it exactly how you said and it was back in less than 5 seconds. I have went 4 years without being able to use this radio. One of my ex employees thought it would be funny to put a password on it and quit the next day. Again Thank you so very much!
Holy shit. Locked out of my radio(AVH-W4500NEX) for just over 90 minutes thanks to a vehicle software update, and thought I was going to go insane without the tunes. Worked the first time I tried it. Soooo happy now. Saved me time and money. Thank you!!!
Dude, I have not been able to get into my stereo for 6 months. This is huge. Thank you so much. BTW, it took some searching to just come across this video.
I’m shocked this actually worked because you didn’t show it on the video. I had booked the car in to the dealership for £25, I thought I may as well give this a go and it worked! Thank you!
Formidable!!!! j'étais en galère suite à un changement de Batterie et une demande de mot de passe que je ne connaissais pas, ce tuto a résolu mon problème en deux minutes, c'est très simple et hyper efficace, merci beaucoup!!!!
Thank you so much!!!! The so called car audio experts at Visions Electronics couldn't give me this info! You just saved me a ton of trouble and money. Thanks again!
Disconnected the battery on my sons car to work on it. He got in and the radio - Pioneer AVIC-W640NEX - was asking for a password. he bought the car with the stereo in and had no idea what the password was. Tried this trick and , couldn't believe it, it actually worked
Kenwood Halloween Yeah I’ve had so many people come to me with the same problem and it drove me crazy that you had to pay money to get into your own stereo
IT WORKED! I applied this for my AVIC 6200 and to my surprise IT WORKED! I had to exercise a bit of patience and input two or three times, but IT WORKED! Follow instructions to the letter...the CAPITAL LETTER!
You are an absolute Marvel road side assistance changed my battery without keeping a standby 12 volt, and lost all info. Saved my system. Thanks Thanks Thanks
I had the same problem when I changed the battery. It asked for a password ( from the previous owner). It worked like a charm !!!! Just don't forget the space at the end. That's what I did. FANTASTIC!! Thanks for the video!!
A read a lot of your comments from people that this helped. Well I'm another one really glad this worked. Car toys was going to charge me $600 to install the next best stereo and they said that Pioneer charges 200 to reset If I had the money I'd give it to you enjoy your day again thank you
Yep this definitely fixed the problem! It worked on my AVH-X8650BT. Brought my ute off a bloke who couldn’t remember his old password. Absolute lifesaver for me! Thank you so much!
THIS REALLY WORKS!!! password screen came up on my 2013 BRZ I bought 2 weeks ago after I unplugged the battery to clean it off and do some repairs! The old owner didnt know the password and I was worried because when I searched through forums they said id need to take it to a dealer and they take out the head unit then ship it to pioneer or something but this worked first try and im super happy about it :D Thank you so much you saved me so much time and money!!!!
This worked :D thank you so much! A tip we did was after entering the password and holding the corner, we used the bottom corner of a lighter to hold the screen. Try to use something as a stylus. The screen reset after less than 5 seconds!
Thank you very much. How in the heck did you figure this out. My 20 year old daughter (who is still more like a teenager) was practically crying because her Pioneer unit wouldn't work after the car had been worked on. You really saved the day. I am 76 so she thinks I am not with it when it comes to this stuff. Every place a called said the unit had to be sent to the factory. Thanks again.
Janice Sparrevohn Yeah I had this problem myself and every time I called they told me it had to be sent in as well. Kind of made me mad cause you got a pay to have someone else unlock your own stereo
@@1452-w3bYou are awesome for this, man! I'm curious too, just how exactly did you figure this out and/or find this info? Since everyone was telling you to send it in, I'm just really curious....??
Holly shit bro, you are literally saving lives out here dude!!!!!!!! Legit AF, I have been locked out of my stereo for years wtf. Yesssssssssss Hell yeah. Works for AVH 4100 Pioneer as well
Man bud, many thanks for posting it worked!! My battery went dead and I forgot I had my password on my "old" cell phone which is gone. My advice is make sure you add that last space after off and no comas between words, no " around words just simply space space SERVICE space PASS space OFF space. The hold in the upper left and it worked. I was so frustrated with the idea of having to take out my stereo and sending back to Pioneer. Cost around $80 plus shipping! Thats if you can remove and install yourself!
I fkn OWE YOU BIGTIME BROTHER. DAMNIT.....YOU ARE THE FKN MAN !!! Cheers to you. Helped me unlock my avh4000nex. I bought this at a pawnshop for 200 bout 6months ago , to findout it was locked & they told me that there was no returns after the 1st 24hours on electronics & prettymuch was out of luck and was stuck with contacting pioneer & getting Raped for the shipping to Ny / paying to unlock / if it was possible & not to mention any damage being shipped around or stolen. 15mins & Bam.. your an Ace Bro. Thankyou
The keys at bottom activating a key above. Numbers press shift and shift bar presses keys above and GO key presses backspace. There are many of us needing the help to solve it. Think you can? I hope so. Mine is Pioneer avh-w4500 NEX
Yoo, thank you so much, I barely got this car & I did reset my stereo because I wasn't let me connecting to my Bluetooth because I was full memory, so I reset it then I was all mad because I did that... But i found your video & works.. mann ur the zhiiit 👍🍺
Please help!!! I have the same radio and I have not had music since December 2020 I followed what you have showed and it didn’t work for me. I reentered it all please show what you did?
My avic-x930bt is asking for password when I trying to upgrade software (won't connect Bluetooth I currently have 3.0). Purchased upgrade 2017 software on eBay and second SD card is asking for pin although it starts up without asking. This does not work as it does not allow enough characters in password spot
This shit Works!!! Your a fucking GOD!!!! I replaced the alternator on my newly purchased 2006 Mitsubishi Evo MR. The Pioneer AVIC-5200NEX was asking for a password. Now I got the back 💯
GUYS!! I need advice on this. I followed his instructions and it totally worked! I was so stoked but the problem is every time I shut the engine off, it becomes password locked again. Anyone have a similar issue with a solution?
I haven’t been able to use my radio for more than 2 years , the fusesman behind the radio burned out and I fix that then the radio is asking for a password, and I Don’t have a clue what could it be , so I need the instructions man ,
I just tried it on my avh-w4500nex and it worked. I had called pioneer and they gave me the same bypass code but i was doing it wrong. You have to literally press down right in front of the P by Password. Thanks for the clarification.

Hi. What button am I pressing on my avic-f980dab as the only button on top left is cd eject or reset button and nothing working.
Thanks
It's a button on the screen if that makes any sense like on the lcd screen not on the trim.
Mine won’t turn on anything I can do? I can’t find a reset button I left my truck off for near a year and it just won’t turn on
