Radio codes

Hey guys, just bought my first Toyota since my Celica in the 90's. Going to do some electrical work on it. My question is after I reconnect the battery, will o need a code for radio? I'm guessing, yes... so where is best place to find it. It a 2018 SR. Thanks

 

Haven't on mine

 

Honda thing.

 

No not anymore.

 

Radio codes died when manufacturers realized no one is going to steal your factory tape deck.

 

Too bad Toyota wouldn't lose the idea of wheel locks. Who is going to want the factory trims?

 

Tell that to those people who have had there stock wheels and tires stolen.

 

Ok cool, thanks.

 

I think if the company puts nice wheels on, then yeah, lock em. If its like my rav4, I dont need a lock on those, yet toyota gave me one.

 

I’ve seen people get brand new winter tires put on their rims for winter then get stolen because someone couldn’t afford winter tires. But had a car that the rims would fit.

 

Youve never been to LA

 

Hey those locks makes us money. People loose the keys

 

We had this issue when I worked for vw. Vw stopped making some of the keys, so people would be pissed they couldn't buy new ones, other people would "barrow" the shop keys only to never return them.

 

That was an issue in Quebec when there was a shortage of winter tires. Quebec requires by law that you have to have winter tires if you want to drive during the winter months. It's a lot of work jacking up and removing wheels and time consuming plus really no way fo do it discreatly. Way less work to remove a headunit which can be sold for 2-300 and takes minutes to remove.

Wheel locks was an 80's fad. Everyone was installing them and Toyota being old school keeps using them.

 

f tpyota is old school we should have solid front axles. Right?

 

Time consuming? Less then 5 minutes if done properly.

 

Ok, thanks for the info on the radio code question.

 

Ok so I stand corrected. It's way easier to remove four wheel assembles than to remove the headunit.

 

My dealer installed for free.

 

Or Denver or Albuquerque or...
