We have a 2000 Kia Carnival that all of sudden lost its memory on the radio and we now have reenter the radio's security code. Unfortunately, there was no manual supplied with the car when we bought it (used) and I have no idea what the code is. Does anyone know if there is a default code or how to get the code. Thanks.

when I lost the code to my volvo I just phoned up the volvo dealership with my registration number and they told me the code over the phone.

I have a manual for a '99 model - the one with separate radio/cassette and CD model No's;
OK55Y 66 860
OK55L 66 860
OK55D 66 860
3K55L 66 860
2K55D 66 860
3K55Y 66 860
Under "How to enter your password"
1. press power button & "Test" appears for 5 seconds, and blinks for 5 minutes. If you turn the power button off then back on again within 5 minutes "Code" blinks on the display.
2. enter password using the numbered buttons - press button 1 once to let it know it's the first digit, then press button 1 again however many times to bring up the code for the first digit. Press button 2 to let it know it's the second digit, then again however many times....etc. To enter default 1111 code, press button 1 twice,, 2 twice, 3 twice then 4 twice.
3. when all four digits entered (default is 1111) press SEL button and display should say "GOOD"
4.You get three goes, if still wrong after third attempt "HOLD" then you have to leave it for an hour
hope this helps

........and they also differ between year models. When our CD died Wifey took it to the Dealer whose Chief Mechanic brought out his little "pointer" to manually reset the stereo (on our Rio's stereo there's a tiny little hole through which you insert a tiny screwdriver & depress the reset button) only to find that our Carnis stereo didn't HAVE the reset hole! This was news to them. They'd changed it between '04 & '05. Oh well, order new stereo!

I have just bought a Kia 2005 Carnival wagon model KVII I didn't have the code either.
I contacted the service department and was given the code , I did have to give Kia the VIN Number of the car so that they could check they were giving me the correct code.
I should mension at this time you only get 3 attempts to insert the correct code or else ::crying::
My Kia has a Mobis AM/FM/CD Player, Model No. HM3700
The code for this model is 1812
To enter this code look at the channel selection numbers on the front of the radio unit. they are
1 2 3
4 5 6
The first number of the code is 1, so push the number 1 button once, if the number other than 1 appears in the screen above keep pressing the number one until the it cycles through the numbers until number 1 appears.
The Second number of the code is 8, so keep pushing the number 2 button until 8 appears next to the first number in the code.
The Third number of the code is 1, so push the number 3 button once, if the number other than 1 appears in the screen above keep pressing the number one until the it cycles through the numbers until number 1 appears next to the second number in the code.
The Forth number of the code is 2, so keep pushing the number 4 button until 2 appears next to the third number in the code.
This means that the code should now show on the screen above as 1812
Now that is done, now press the number 5 button to accept the code.

Guys, I’ve got a 2004 Sorento / this is the radio pulled out. Can anyone help with a code? Having no luck with dealers or Kia themselves

Done ?

The answer is in the post directly above yours, as an anti-theft measure you need to present the VIN and proof of ownership for the Kia dealership to provide the code.
Hi, I’ve tried contacting numerous dealers who are all saying they are unable to get that code. Was hoping someone online had a way of getting it with the photo I provided. The earlier theories on this post have not worked
