Clarion QY-5002S

Updated: 09/11/2025 (content)

Definition: The 'Personal Lock' in the Clarion QY-5002 radio is a standard anti-theft security feature. It activates automatically after any power interruption (for example, battery replacement or discharge), preventing use of the navigation and audio system.

Does your Clarion QY-5002 radio in a Suzuki display the “Personal Lock” message? Cause: the lock has been activated after the battery was disconnected. We solve this problem by reading the code or permanently removing the lock. We complete the service in 1-2 working days, and the cost is 297 zł incl. VAT. We provide a warranty of code correctness.
