How to unlock the OEM double din radio, "Help" shown on radio display Options

[dubb_head]

Hello,

So I thought I had the right 3 digit security code but it did not work. I also tried putting in 000 and other combos but nothing.

Now the radio is display "HELP" and the owner's manual says to contact the dealer


Does anyone have any idea how to unlock the radio?

Thanks for your help!

i had to do the same with mine when i first got my car. so i brought my car to my uncle who works for toyota and unlocked the stereo for me for free. he had to contact the main office (in ontario somewhere) and had to validate that I'm the actual owner of the vehicle before they were able to give him the instructions and the unlock code. every stereo with this security feature apparently has its own unlock code, which is dependent on the 5-digit code printed on the front face. if i remember correctly there were about 7-8 different steps and required you hold certain buttons while pressing other buttons..

just wondering, how much did the dealer quote you?
