Don't pay or wait more than you need to for a Toyota radio code. We generate all Toyota codes instantly, so whether you drive a Corolla or a Hilux, whether you listen to Heart FM or your own tunes – we'll get you back into your radio or navigation in minutes.
When your Toyota radio or navigation becomes disconnected from the battery, usually due to a garage service or a low battery, it automatically locks and begins to ask for a radio unlock code. As this is an anti-theft feature it's not possible to unlock a Toyota radio without this code, but finding your radio code is an easy process that can be done in minutes.
The most accurate way to get your Toyota's 8-digit radio unlock code is by calculating it from the radio's 16-digit ERC code. Your Toyota radio model may display a screen asking for your pet's name in Japanese or English, usually with a keyboard (image 1). This is a decoy screen that doesn't actually have a code - instead, you need to bypass this screen to access your radio's hidden menu, eventually displaying your ERC code. To make sure the code we generate is accurate we will also need your radio's model - this is usually on the radio's frame (image 2).
To find your Toyota navigation's ERC code, follow the short video below or scroll down for our step-by-step guide.
Enter your ERC code carefully into our Toyota ERC calculator above and double-check it is correct before purchasing your code. Once you've purchased your code, do not turn your radio off before you've entered the code - this will generate a new ERC code for your radio and require you to calculate a new radio code from it.
If following the steps above doesn't show your radio's ERC or you're unable to follow these steps, feel free to get in touch with us.
Because we incur costs and fees for every code we generate, our money-back guarantee does not usually cover codes decoded from incorrect serial numbers. For this reason you should always double-check that the serial number you enter has the same letters and numbers as the serial number on your radio. However we will always make exceptions in obviously confusing situations, such as when a Q looks like an O or an I looks like an L.
Toyota vehicles and radios that we are able to decode include:
Unfortunately, it's not possible to unlock a Toyota radio asking for a code without entering the code. This is intentional as radio unlock codes were originally designed as an anti-theft feature to make it harder for thieves to steal and resell car radios.
Due to the costs of running a small business providing radio codes around the world 24/7, it's not possible to sustainably offer Toyota radio codes for free. There are many decoding services out there that attract customers with the word "free" only to reveal a price at the very last second or fail to deliver a code at all (as shown by their reviews). Our prices will always be shown up-front, and our radio codes are already priced as low as possible while still allowing us to stay in business, provide reliable English-speaking support to customers and continue adding support for more models and manufacturers.
Not only were we the first radio decoding company to offer radio codes for all manufacturers at one fixed price, we were also one of the first to charge as low as £4.99 - before we came along virtually no popular decoding company offered radio codes at such an affordable price. To this day we still beat 95% of our competitors on price, without making you wait around for your code.
Unfortunately it's not possible to generate a Toyota radio code from the registration plate at all. Although most dealerships and some online decoding sites do use the VIN to decode the radio code, this is not reliable due to being tied to the car rather than the radio. This means that if your radio was changed since it was first manufactured, a radio code decoded from the VIN will be incorrect. For this reason RapidRadioCodes - like most online decoding sites - decodes the radio code from the radio's serial number, which gives us the best chance of unlocking your radio.
All our Toyota radio codes are decoded instantly, displayed on the screen immediately after payment and sent to your email at the same time. To ensure that your code and receipt are sent to you, double-check that the email you enter when paying for your radio code is correct. If it's been more than 2 minutes since you purchased your code and you haven't received your email, get in touch with us so we can look into why this might be. In most cases this is down to a misspelt email address.
So you've located your serial number, entered it into our radio code generator, and received your decoded radio code in return. Congratulations! Now comes the best part: using your new radio code to unlock your Toyota radio.
This process varies depending on your vehicle's radio. Each of our Toyota radio codes come with simple instructions to enter your new code at no extra cost. To receive your entry instructions, double-check that your email address is spelt correctly at the payment stage. If it's been more than 2 minutes since you purchased your unlock code and you haven't received your email or receipt, get in touch with us so we can look into why this might be. This is usually down to a misspelt email address.
