Previa Dead Radio

[raytaos]

I have a 96 Previa, the battery died and the security system has disabled the radio. I contacted the previous owner and he does not remember the pass code (3 digit code). The Toyota dealer is 2 hours away and I am trying not to make that drive if I can find some help here.
Is there a work-around to reset the pass code?
I know it is defeating the security if you give the answer over the net, but I thought I would try!
Thanks

I have family in Taos...

At this point, you will either have to live with it until you get to the dealer, or replace it. Because if anyone here knows how to do it they arn't talking. BTW: If anyone here does know PM me, I've got one that is also locked out.

What kind of radio do you have in your previa?? Is it the delux top of the line model with CD or just an AM/FM cassette deck?? I can't help you with the codes but I can help you by selling you a my unit which is of course unlocked and should fit your previa. This is a Stock Cassette deck AM/FM from my 95 MR2 whcih I have no use for. If you will ever have interest to change the unit to another one, I will be happy to sell you my unlocked perfectly working unit. $30 Shipped I have pix so u can compare you radio to the one I have. Just email me interested.

There is really no definite way to get the codes except for bringing it to the dealer and having them decode it but who knows how much they will charge unless you know the technitians in there.
