FAQ
TL;DR: For these Chinese 2‑DIN/7163‑type radios, 1 confirmed working code is documented; "The code on this radio was: 000000". Try six zeros first, else 4‑digit options like 3368 or 8888. [Elektroda, damiancz, post #19333978]
Why it matters: This FAQ helps owners quickly unlock factory/hidden settings without guesswork or risky resets, especially on budget 2‑DIN/7163 units.
Quick Facts
- Verified fix in this thread: factory/hidden menu code 000000 (six zeros). [Elektroda, damiancz, post #19333978]
- Common alternates users try: 1111, 8888, 3368, 3618, 0000, 7890, 44320, 44328, 123456, 26959910. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #18640396]
- GA7163-related note: some manuals mention 5802 for access. [Elektroda, jurkuc, post #18643014]
- 0000 often appears for Bluetooth pairing/calls, not factory settings. [Elektroda, kuba56666, post #18643367]
- Some units prompt strictly for 4 digits; longer codes won’t fit. [Elektroda, kuba56666, post #18640531]
Which code solved the hidden/factory menu in this thread?
Six zeros. The moderator closed the case with: “The code on this radio was: 000000.” Start with 000000 on similar Android 9.1 units. If that fails, proceed to common 4‑digit options. “Try six zeros first” is the practical takeaway. [Elektroda, damiancz, post #19333978]
What 4‑digit code has worked on similar equipment?
Try 3368. A contributor noted, “On some models of similar equipment, the access code is: 3368.” Enter it in the Factory/Advanced settings prompt if your unit requests four digits. If it doesn’t accept 3368, continue with other defaults like 8888 or 1111. “Start simple, then expand the list.” [Elektroda, jurkuc, post #18640399]
What are the most common default codes to try on 2‑DIN/7163‑type radios?
Users commonly test these in order: 1111, 8888, 3368, 3618, 0000, 7890, 44320, 44328, 123456, 26959910. Enter only what the prompt length allows. If the unit expects four digits, stick to the four‑digit options first. Record what you tried and the response. This reduces repeat attempts later. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #18640396]
Is there a GA7163-specific access code mentioned?
Yes. A user researching the GA7163 manual suggested, “Please also try the code: 5802.” They noted the GA7163 by GEONON appears related. If your label references GA7163, try 5802 after common defaults, and consult the manual linked in that post. [Elektroda, jurkuc, post #18643014]
Is 0000 the hidden menu code or only for Bluetooth pairing?
On these units, 0000 is often just the Bluetooth pairing/calls PIN. It typically doesn’t unlock the factory menu. If you see the prompt while pairing a phone, that is the pairing code field. For factory settings, try 000000 or 3368 instead. [Elektroda, kuba56666, post #18643367]
My unit only accepts four digits—what should I do?
Stay within four‑digit options. Start with 3368, 8888, 1111, 3618, and 0000. Some variants reject longer codes entirely. One owner confirmed the prompt was four digits and none of the early lists worked. If 4‑digit options fail, verify the exact model and firmware. [Elektroda, kuba56666, post #18640531]
Where else can I find the correct code if none of these work?
Contact the seller or manufacturer support and check the included manual or CD. Provide photos of the radio’s front, rear, and any stickers to confirm the exact variant. Sellers often know their batch defaults. “Write to the seller… look in the manual or on the CD.” [Elektroda, gradek83, post #18642790]
How do I try codes safely without messing up settings?
How‑To:
- Open the Factory/Advanced settings prompt on the unit.
- Try defaults in this order: 000000, 3368, 8888, 1111, 3618, then longer ones if allowed.
- If rejected, exit without saving changes, note results, and verify your model.
This systematic approach mirrors community testing advice. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #18640396]
What family might the 7163 resemble, and do defaults overlap?
One reply linked these to an EW6800‑type series used by multiple brands. In those, defaults often include 0000 or 000000. That overlap explains why six zeros or simple four‑digit pins frequently unlock factory menus across re‑branded units. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #18643081]
Did six zeros work for others here besides the moderator’s note?
Yes. Another participant confirmed, “6 zero helped,” and considered their issue closed. If your radio is Android‑based or similar to that example, prioritize 000000. If you still get a denial, proceed with 4‑digit fallbacks. [Elektroda, 76slawek, post #19333660]
Someone wrote “Wipsz-8888.” What does that mean in practice?
It means “type 8888.” Some firmware accepts 8888 for the factory menu. If your prompt allows four digits, enter 8888 and confirm. If that fails, continue with the rest of the common default list before contacting the seller. [Elektroda, Łysy321123, #19333274]
How many candidate codes were proposed in one key reply?
Ten candidate codes appeared in a single list. That breadth reflects how many firmware branches exist across 2‑DIN Chinese radios. Start with the simplest values and match the field length. Document attempts so you don’t repeat codes. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #18640396]
Is my “hidden menu” prompt actually the Bluetooth PIN screen?
If the prompt appears during phone pairing, it’s the Bluetooth PIN. One owner clarified their “0000” was for calls/Bluetooth, not factory settings. Enter 0000 only in pairing contexts. For factory settings, use 000000 or other admin codes. [Elektroda, kuba56666, post #18643892]
What details should I share to get faster help identifying the right code?
Post clear photos of the front, back, and any information sticker. Helpers asked for these to confirm the exact variant and suggest correct codes. Also include your current prompt length and any manual model references. [Elektroda, gradek83, post #18640396]
