Hi all Had that age old problem of a locked radio after changing the battery on my 97 Lexus GS300. After months searching the internet I found the following procedure that will unlock your radio. I now have a fully functioning radio again!!! The audio has been locked up when displaying "SEC" or "HELP". In such condition, it only can be normally used after decoding. Decoding steps as follows, When displaying "SEC", change it to "HELP" state as follows: 1, Press top of button "TUNE" with button 1 depressed, "----" will be displayed, now input any 3digit code and press button "SCAN" 3 seconds, "ERR" will be displayed. Repeat 10 times until "HELP" displayed. Once HELP is displayed complete the following procedure: 2, Press button 1,4,6 & the on/off button at one time, "SEC" re displays. Press top of button "TUNE" with button "1" depressed, and input the first 3digit code 891 when "----" displayed. After inputting first 3digit code, Press bottom of button "TUNE" with button "1" depressed, "----" re displays,as small black down arrow appears in the display, input the last 3digit code 440 and press "SCAN" for 3 seconds until "OK" displayed. Now can be normally operated on reset. I was originally misreading the instructions. After entering the first 3 digit code immediately press the bottom of tune and button 1 and enter the 2nd 3 digit code and hey presto a working radio Garry

Hi I have been with Liverpool Victoria for 2 years now. Last year was £450 this year went up to £480...I was pleasantly surprised when I got the renewal quote!

Hi Here is the link that I found refers to Toyota MR2 but lists GS300 and ES300 as well. http://forums.bcmr2.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11460 The following sequence allows you to enter a 6 digit code in the radio. It works as I tried it today but unfortunately cant find a code that works for me!! TOYOTA-LEXUS-E300 841960 Suitable for P6801.P1700 TOYOTA-LEXUS-GS300 891440 Suitable for P6802.P1701 588410 Suitable for N404 The audio has been locked up when displaying "SEC" or "HELP". In such condition, it only can be normally used after decoding. Decoding steps as follows, When displaying "SEC", change it to "HELP" state. 1, Press top of button "TUNE" with button 1 depressed, "----" will be displayed, now input any 3digit code and press button "SCAN" 3 seconds, "ERR" will be displayed. Repeat 10 times until "HELP" displayed. 2, Press button 1,4,6 & the switch button at one time, "SEC" re displays. Press top of button "TUNE" with button "1" depressed, and input the first 3digit code 891 when "----" displayed. After inputting first 3digit code, Press bottom of button "TUNE" with button "1" depressed, "----" re displays, input the last 3digit code 440 and press "SCAN" for 3 seconds until "OK" displayed. Now can be normally operated on reset. The steps work as described above but instead of OK I get ERR which means the 6 digit code is wrong. Any thoughts??

Hi All I changed the battery on my 1997 GS300 and getting SEC showing on the radio. I don't have the unlock code but managed to track down the master reset sequence on the internet. Unfortunately my radio model number does not appear in the list of master reset codes. The radio model number is P3701. There should be a 6 digit master reset code for this radio....does anyone know what it is or where I can get it? Last resort will be my Lexus dealer but I would much prefer to do it myself and save a good few quid. Any help greatly appreciated Cheers Garry
