Radio Code

[Kwai]

Hi Every one, I bought my GS300 second. Which has no radio code. Because I'm going to change a new Battery. Does any one can help where I can find my radio code?

Many thanks.

Hi,what year is it?not sure it has one(phone lexus and ask),probably just a case of putting in new Battery and switching radio on.If it does have one and you havent got it,you might need an audio electrian to re code it,hope this helps.

As far as I am aware, no Lexus has a coded radio :)

If you switch the radio on and it displays "SEC" on the radio display momentarily, then a code has been set. The code is set by the user so if there is a code, and you weren't told what it was, you are unlikely to guess it correcty. You get 9 goes before the stereo locks. If SEC isn't displayed, you are good to go with the Battery change.

Well, I learn something new every day thanks Rick.

The code is set from the manufacturing plant and is the last 3 or 4 (can't remember exactly) numbers of the VIN number. Hopefully, no previous owner has changed it.

By default, there is no code set, someone has to enable it in the stereo settings, and at that point the code can be set to any code. If the code is enabled, there is no harm in trying the last 4 numbers of the vin code. Either way, if it doesn't display SEC when the stereo is switched on, there is no code set.

Sorry to respond late. It was 2000, and it working OK. Because change new Battery within 5 minutes and would not lost code. This message from Lexus service.

Thank you.
