You may need the VIN number or serial number off the radio. Did you try a google search for "toyota radio code"? r r -- Nothing beats the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with DLT tapes. |

Called other dealers but all said it would have to come in to the service
department and had about the same fee. Google search comes up with services that claim they can give me a code from the serial # after being payed by paypal, $38.00 but I don't know if they are a reputable dealer.

credit card thing that has the factory code on it? David |
