Find the serial

  1. Check first that the radio really wants a code: most Toyotas sold in the UK come back on by themselves.
  2. Hold the main button on the screen and switch the parking lights on and off 3 or 4 times, until a new screen appears.
  3. Press the one button on that screen. Write down the 16 letters and numbers it shows: that is the ERC.
