The Toyota dealer can unlock the radio. Some dealers do this for free, others charge.

There might be an internet site offering this service but have not found one to date.

thanks

Problem solved - code to share
 

Problem solved - cost $10 to buy code. For everyone's future reference - correct radio unlock code is ( 752722 )

Radio unlock code input guide
Your Toyota radio will not operate once it is removed from the console, making it virtually useless to a thief. The only way to restore power to the radio once it is removed is to enter a six-digit security code unique to your radio. The anti-theft features of your radio operate as follows:


1.If radio displays “HELP” Skip to procedure 1A.

2.(If your radio displays "SEC" you must enter an incorrect 3 digit number until "HELP" is displayed. It makes no difference what the number is, so long as it is the incorrect number. The objective is to put radio into the "HELP" mode. This could take up to 9 times.

3.To enter a three digit code number:

·Press and hold down the (^) “tune up” and #1 preset button at the same time.

·Input the “incorrect” three digit code number, using the radio station preset buttons 1 – 3

·Press and hold scan button.
·This could take up to 9 times.
·Your radio should now display “HELP”


1.1A. If radio display displays “HELP” use the following to input code.

2. To Input your six or five digit code number (that you received from radio-code.com) use the radio station preset buttons 1 – 3


Example:
1.Let us assume that your code number is 255353.
2.Press (power and preset buttons 1, 4, 6,) all at the same time.
3.Sec will display.
4.Press and hold down the (Ù) “tune UP” and #1 preset button at the same
time.
5.Input your first 3 digits (255) of your code number, using the radio station preset buttons 1 – 3
YOU MUST PRESS EACH BUTTON MORE THAN ONCE!!
Example if code is 878410
PRESS #1----- 8 TIMES and so on.
6.Press and hold down the ( Ú ) “tune DOWN” and #1 preset button at the same

7.This will allow you to input the next 3-digits of your code (353); again using
the radio station preset buttons 1 – 3.
8.Press and hold scan button.
9.The radio will now “shut down”.
You may now power up your radio!

All Camry have password-protected radios?
If not, is there a way (without risks) to find out?

Only radios that state on the front face they have anti-theft protection or words to this effect.

Thanks, Toyomoho.

This technique is WRONG!! for 2002 Camry. Once you get HELP in the screen, its a Factory (NOT Dealer) reset, at grfeat expense!!!!
