Radio Security Code
I have a 94 Runner. Had timing belt replaced and my factory installed AM/FM Tape radio went into security mode. I have two tries remaining to enter the proper 3 digit code. Does anyone know if there is an over-ride code or how I can find a code to make the radio operable? I have the owner's manual, VIN etc. The dealer will corrent the problem for a 1 hour minimum (could be longer) visit but I'm not going to pay them because they created the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Stealer is the only way to unlock the code if you don't know the cade that came with the rig when it was new. I had to pay $40 to get the wifes unlocked after swappin' batteries. RIP OFF!
If the Stealer did the timing chain work and that's the reason for the battery being disconnected/lock enabled, they're responsible for unlockin' the stereo.

Mine did this too, and I actually tried 10 times and locked it out. I took it to a stealer and said that a rep at 1800-go-Toyota said they would do it as a courtesy becaue it's so common. Pull that crap with the dealer, I'm sure they'll do it for free.
