CD Player PIN Code

[Scandrew]

Hi guys,

I recently purchased a 04 Corolla. At the moment the CD player is security locked and I wasn't given a code.

I have the log books but it doesn't seem to be specified in it? What do I do?

Thanks,

Andrew

the only way it seems is to go back to toyota...else you have got to get a aftermarket HU

Do you know if they charge anything?

I read somewhere that they charge $20?

If you bought the car brand new, you should have got a card stating the pin.

If you didnt go back to the dealer and demand one. It should cost you nothing because it should have been there to begin with.

If you bought it 2nd hand, ask the dealer nicely and they might be able to help you (also its advisable to go the dealer you bought the 2nd hand car from, or look at the number plate because most dealers usually fit their details on there too).

As for cost details, call them and ask. Its the only way you'll get a definitive answer.

I had the same problem, try the last 3 digits of the VIN code. There is also a Toyota fleet PIN, but I can't remember what it is. I believe you have 3 tries so if one doesn't work the unit will not lock or anything.

To get it reprogrammed the dealer has to REMOVE the head unit and plug it into a harness which sends a reset instruction to it, similar to the OBD hand held unit.

Mofos! I just called up Toyota service and they quoted $49.95 just to unlock the PIN. :o

I rang up Peter Warren and they said the same but they also said they havn't put PIN's on their CD playres since 1992 (so I think mine doesn't have one).

$49.95???

What better reason to do a complete stereo overhaul

[hebe]

Oh no...I didn't receive a PIN code with my car either...but I have no need to unlock it as it's unlocked atm...does it get locked when you disconnect the battery?!?!

[SPTIVO_LUVA]

i believe so because that was happened in my old car. It obvoiusly does to combat theft of the stereo unit.

[Scandrew]

Depends on if a PIN has been set. If not, you're fine. If so, yea it will ask for a PIN when your battery is disconnected.

It only gets locked if the pin is set.

If the pin is set then your security light on the stereo blinks when the key ignition is off.
