    the code is not in the owners manual, but in the owner information packet, if u ever have bought a new car u would understand what I mean, just to clarify, it would have been on a information card delevred with the car when it was new.

    THE CODE CAME WITH THE CAR IN THE OWNER MANUAL PACKET. If u don't have that u will have to pull the radio and record the radio model and serial number off the radio and then go to a dealer to ge the code.

Here are the codes for many early-1990s Toyota radios. It goes by model number, which is printed on the front of the radio.

And here is how to put them in.

Save the pictures, pass them around, share them with your friends, post them to message boards, whatever. Nobody should have to pay extra just to use the radio in their own car when the battery dies. If you find this helpful, please consider adopting your next pet from an animal shelter rather than buying one. Have a splendid day!

Emissionwiz is correct, but, his information is for older Model Camrys.

The 2003 "factory-installed" radios in the Camry product line does not have an anti-theft feature, and, because of having no anti-theft feature, there is no reactivation code. If you have a dead battery, the only thing you will lose regarding the radio functions would be the radio stations that you programmed into the memory. The radio will function properly after a dead battery is replaced with no issues.

I have a 2011 nissa sentra with fault u0101?

Common causes for U0101
Code U0101 is typically caused by one of the following:
A dead battery
A faulty TCM
A problem with the TCM circuit
A problem with the CAN bus
I'd disconnect the battery to 'reset' the system. Disconnect only the Negative Battery terminal for 30 minutes.
NOTE YOU"LL LOSE YOUR radio presets and any other 'memorized' settings in the car. ALSO your keyless remote may no longer function. READ the Owner's Manual to confirm.

I had someone change the radio in my 1998 camry and it did work. My battery went dead, dead and once I replaced battery the radio now doesn't work. Why>

Car radios have security codes to prevent them from being stolen. If they lose power, such as when replacing the battery, they lock out. This makes them worthless to anyone trying to steal them. You need to have the unlock code to reactivate the radio. It is provided with the vehicle at purchase, or by the retailer when selling replacements

1: check all fuses. using and ohm meter (restance low range) for 0 ohms.
2: check battery voltage running engine and not.
12.6v key off, 13.3 to 15v running, if not charge system failure.
3: pull battery minus lug for 1hr. and put back, keep in mind you can lose radio codes. or dead radio for lack of radio pw code.

4: re-seat all CAN buss modules in car, 1 by 1one battery minus pulled.
PCM, BCM , all off them. reseat means pull connector to it and put it back.
It might just be a random glitch, that all comms see, all the time on all networks. Unknown, glitch. (CRC failure)

I need to disconnect the battery on my 2001 E46 325i and the bmw dealer has told me there is no code for the radio in this model...does anyone know if this is correct?

TURN OFF RADIO FIRST BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE BUT.THATS NO GUARANTEE YOU WILL LOSE RADIO CODE I WOULD TRY TO USE A BACK UP MEMORY SAVER YOU PLUG IN THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER BUT NO GOOD IF CAR GOING TO BE DOWN LONG.TIME BECAUSE THE MEMORY SAVER BATTERY WILL GET WEAK YOURE IN TROUBLE.BMW WARNS IF YOU DISCONNECT BATTERY CABLES YOU WOULD LOSE HEATING COOLING CLIMATE CONTROL.YOU ALSO WILL LOSE FUNCTION TO WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER , CENTRAL LOCKING AND THEFT SYSTEM CONTROL.

Anything special to do when changing the battery in a 2005 toyota avalon

the only problem you might have is you will lose all of your pre-set radio stations, if your radio has a security code it will not work until it is recoded, if it is coded there will be a red light blinking when the ignition is removed,if there is no light blinking it may not be coded, but it is best to connect another battery to your battery terminals before you remove them....hope this helps....cheers

1995 toyota camry makes a clicking noise when trying to start it

Is battery dead ? Can you jump start? If you can get it started by jumping it, take it to your local auto parts store and ask them to check your battery and alternator. They will usually do this for free.

2002 highlander radio code

Good news: You do not have to worry about you issue.
Your radio (if it is a "factory" radio) does NOT require a security reset code. You do not have an "anti-theft" radio. You can disconnect the battery cables at will, and the only issue you will have is that you will lose the preset stations that you set manually.
The "anti-theft" radios were abandoned by Toyota several years ago. Hope this eases your mind.
