Enter the 16-character ERC shown on the screen (0–9, A–F).

Calculated on our server

Up to 3 different serials every 24 hours per visitor – checking the same serial in another calculator does not count. Only use this for a radio you own. A wrong code can lock the radio for a while – check the serial before entering the code.

Which part of the serial to enter

ERC shown on the lock screen Serial ERC 1234567890ABCDEF → enter 1234567890ABCDEF

How to use the ERC calculator

  1. With the radio showing the lock screen, find the ERC – 16 characters such as 1234567890ABCDEF.
  2. Enter it above exactly as shown (0–9 and A–F only).
  3. Type the unlock code on the radio and confirm.

The ERC changes between radios, so always use the ERC from your own screen. If your unit shows a different lock message, send us a photo of the screen.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Toyota ERC?

ERC is a 16-character code (0–9 and A–F) that the radio displays when it is locked. The unlock code is calculated from it, so you do not need the radio serial.

How do I show the ERC on the screen?

It depends on the unit. On many models the ERC appears automatically on the lock screen; on others you press and hold a preset or the information button for a few seconds while the radio shows the lock message. Check the owner's manual for your model.

How do I enter the unlock code?

On touchscreen units type it on the on-screen keypad and confirm with OK. On radios with buttons, use the preset buttons as described in the manual.
