	| Decoding the stereo of a 1999 Rav4? |  Wed, 27 July 2005 07:00   |  |  |  
	| Guys, 
 Need help with a locked radio in my Rav4.  Just bought it and I had no idea that there was a 9 limit on the security system for the radio.  Now I am driving around with no sound talking to myself.  Please help me?
 
 The display on the radio says "help"
 
 Thanks

	| Read the manual, or call Toyota. 
 Somewhere there it should tell you want to do.

	| I have checked the manual, thats how I found out that there is a 9 limit.  And I went past it and locked it 
 Toyota can do it but they r charging 100 bucks for 3 digit code
 
 not worth it I think and thats y I am desperate for help.
 
 Can I resort to other methods b4 I got to toyota?  That is teh more precise question.  Thanks for your thought tho.

 Cost you less than 100$.

	| YEah cool thanks. 
 I only one problem, the stereo has been locked out cos I tried too many times.  Do anyone know the sequence buttons to press to overwrite the lock in order to put the code?

	| Dude, you could try posting this topic in the RAV4OZ forums, someone might know there... 
 http://www.compact4wd.com/rav4oz/forum/default.asp
 
 It's worth a try... and have a look at some other RAV4's while you're there too.
  
 Cheers.
