Following instructions in various links around the net, I can move the stereo into SEC mode. These same links indicate my inputting the PIN will take it out of SEC mode. However, when I press the 'Tune Up' and '1' buttons, the three dashes are accompanied by an ‘up’ arrow. Inputting the three numbers can be followed by Tune Down and 1 button, which has three dashes accompanied by a ‘down’ arrow. This indicates as per this link and this link for an older stereo that there is maybe a six digit code? If so, are they the same for all Fujitsu Ten stereos?
I have the PIN, which appears not to work. The PIN handwritten in my User manual was confirmed by the Dealership the vehicle was purchased from when new (Confirmed it to me without prompting).
Essentially Resetting the stereo at a Toyota dealer will cost $66, as they have to plug it into a machine that has a limited number of resets available (after which they have to send it off to have more resets programmed in or something – almost like a prepay phone).
At this point, either my Stereo is buggered (replace it), the Pin has been changed since the first owner (reset it or replace it) after which even if I unlock it, it may be buggered anyway (F***! Replace it lol), or there is perhaps a six digit code that I have missed.
I have considered replacing the stereo if resetting this one without having to pay $$$ is not a go. However, having just paid AU $1500 for insurance and rego, my butt still hurts and I'm trying not to go too spendy on this.
Any options, advice or confirmation regarding a possible (free) solution would be muchly appreciated – thanks!
