    Default Tutorial on how to unlock the radio on Japanese Toyota cars

    Hello,

    So most of us know that car manufacturers, like Toyota put a lock code in their navigation/radio apparatus so as to prevent stealing. Once the radio is disconnected or the battery is removed, part of the memory of the radio is lost and the radio is returned to the default settings requiring an unlock code. How do we unlock the radio if you've forgot the unlock code in a Japanese Toyota car? Well it may be easy and similar for various models of the radio in Toyota cars but I am not 100% sure for the compatible models. You can follow these steps:

    1. Download the Toyota ERC calculator for free in this forum itself. Just search for 'Toyota ERC calculator' in this forum.
    2. Extract and open (note the file does not contain any virus, if your antivirus detect any virus with this file, ignore and disable your antivirus for some moment.
    3. You will see that you need an ERC code, to get that, follow these steps:
    (a) Switch on your vehicle, do not start the engine.
    (b) Press and hold the DISPLAY button, it may be different depending on your model.
    (c) While pressing the display button, turn the parking lights on and off for 3 TIMES. (the parking light control is usually found to the right hand side of the steering wheel for a right handed vehicle, it is usually in the same controller of the lights).
    (d) The next step is going to be difficult and so you need to watch a video on youtube to be able to understand it better (because there are some Japanese characters that I cannot write). Hence, open Youtube and paste this on the search bar: TOYOTA ERC CODE UNLOCKING SOLUTIONS. and enter the first video by Leo Samsung Galaxy S3.
    (e) You should be getting the screen on your radio that look like the screen in the Youtube video @1.00 minute. The 00e6....... 16 digits number is the ERC number (YOURS WILL BE DIFFERENT).
    4. Enter the ERC number to the software, the unlock code will be displayed, enter the unlock code to the radio, as shown in the video and proceed as the video.

    HOPE THIS HELPS!
