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.

Buy 1 off EBay or a wrecker.
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.
