how to bypass pioneer avic security password.

instructions. every word typed into stereo is fully capitalized.
(space bar) (space bar) "SERVICE" (space bar) "PASS" (space bar) "OFF"(space bar)
after that press down on the very top left corner of the screen right before it says "password" and hold. this could take 5 to 20 sec so wait until you get a message on the screen witch Should say something like "unit has ben unlocked"
that should do it.

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!!

[@BurritoBandit-c9l]

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 love you so much. It’s been over a year since I had my radio. Thanks soo much.

Excellent post! Just bought a truck with this stereo and radio was locked. Worked like a charm!

Cannot believe this. You are the BEST!!!! Nearly 2 yrs with the stereo locked, and thanks to you, it now works. THANK YOU!!!!

[@iwpllcproperty9645]

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!

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!
