A Toyota Avalon radio is bolted in place in the dashboard in order to prevent theft. If you want to replace the radio with a more updated stereo or an in-dash DVD player, you'll need to unbolt the old radio. The bolts are concealed by the dashboard's trim panels, and there can be one or two other objects you'll need to temporarily remove as well.
Step 1
Shut off the power to the Avalon by disconnecting the negative battery cable.
Step 2
Pry off the central register panel above the radio on the dash. Use a trim stick or a flathead screwdriver with tape wrapped around the blade. With the register panel gone, pry off the dash trim panel that surrounds the radio. Disconnect the electrical connector to the clock.
Step 3
Remove the control panel for the air conditioner if it is blocking your way to the radio's mounting screws. Remove the front console trim over the air conditioning console, disconnect the mounting screws and remove the control panel.
Step 4
Disconnect the mounting screws to the radio using a small hex wrench. Put the screws aside in case you can use them to install the new stereo or other device. Pull the radio out of its space to find the electrical connector and antenna lead in the rear of the unit.
Unplug the electrical connector and antenna lead, and remove the radio. These connectors will be used with any new radio or stereo that you'll install in the old radio's place.
It is on the passengers side where the foot rest is ,on the side panel .Exactly under the dashboard.(RH/Side steering.) I believe if your vehicle is LH/Side steering Probably by the driver's foot rest side panel.
After changing the oil and filter on a 2008 Dyna, the "oil change" light would not turn off. On the plastic dash screen, there is a small circular rubber plug just above the rev counter. This plug can be prised off. Prise off the plug, insert a pin and press the button. Oil change light turns off.
Oribeeboy is spot on for a 100 series Landcruiser - last 3 VIN numbers. Let's say the last 3 VIN Nos were 264 Turn the ignition key so that the radio displays "SEC" then: press "TUNE"and press No1 button on the radio at same time then: press No1 button 2 times then: press No2 button 6 times then press No3 button 4 times Finally hold the "SCAN" button to confirm the code. The radio will then turn itself off. You can then turn it on in the normal way. (Hopefully!)
The trim panel that surrounds the radio and contains the climate controls and possibly 1 or 2 other switches needs to be removed. Apply gentle, even pressure on the edges and gradually move to the other edges, and the clips should pop out.
I would advise against unplugging the climate controls or radio however other switches can be unplugged safely.
Once the panel with the climate controls is removed there should be 4 phillips head screws holding the radio in place; remove those and you should be golden.
