How to find TOYOTA RADIO ERC Code

What is a Toyota ERC Tag / Code?

The ERC code (often referred to as an ERC tag or serial) is a 16-character alphanumeric code generated by Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Toyota navigation and audio head units (such as NS, NH, and ND series models).

When a vehicle’s battery is disconnected, drained, or serviced, these units lock themselves as an anti-theft measure. To unlock the system, restore radio functions, Bluetooth, DVD playback, and the reverse camera, you need a matching 8-digit unlock password. This password must be calculated specifically from that unique 16-digit ERC code.

(Note: The ERC code is different from the hardware serial number printed on a sticker on the back or side of the radio casing. It can only be found on-screen.)

How to Find the 16-Digit ERC Code on Your Screen

If your screen is locked and showing a security prompt, you can easily retrieve the 16-digit code directly from the unit without removing it from the dashboard:

  1. Turn on the vehicle’s ignition (accessory mode).
  2. Press and hold the “Menu” or main audio button on your navigation unit.
  3. While holding the button, turn your headlights/parking lights on and off 3 to 4 times.
  4. A hidden service or diagnostic menu will pop up on the screen.
  5. Tap the active software/unlock button displayed on the touchscreen.
  6. The screen will display the 16-character ERC code (e.g., 00618e6400000000).

How to Get Your Unlock Password

  1. Extract the Code: Write down or take a photo of the 16-digit ERC code shown on your display.
  2. Generate the Unlock Code: Use an official ERC calculator tool, software, or specialized provider to decode the 16-digit string into the corresponding 8-digit unlock password.
  3. Input the Code: Return to your car’s radio touch screen, type in the 8-digit password generated for your specific ERC string, and confirm to restore full system functionality.
