The sec displayed is security code in case radio is stolen it cant be used without entering the code. Owner may have disconnected battery and didnt put a memory saver in lighter outlet so it locked. If you go to dealer they can retrive the code for you then you enter code and radio should work.unless they changed the factory code. If not and code from dealer works keep in car or safe place so you have it. Usually no charge to do retrival at dealer takes 2 minutes. Hope this helps

To program a remote... note that you must not delay more than 10 seconds between any of the operations.

Driver's door open, all other doors closed, key removed from the ignition switch.

Insert key into ignitions switch, then remove it.

Press LOCK then UNLOCK on the vehicle door lock control switch at 1 second intervals 5 times.

close and re-open drivers door.

Press LOCK and UNLOCK on the vehicle door lock control switch at 1 second intervals 5 times

Insert Key into ignition switch.

Switch ignition ON and OFF once to program a remote transmitter code while retaining the original codes or twice to program a remote transmitter code while erasing the original codes. three times to check how many remote transmitters are currently registered, or 5 times to erase all registered codes.

Remove Key from ignition switch.

System should now lock and unlock vehicle. Once, twice or five times depending which mode has been selected. It will lock and unlock one to four times slowly, to indicate the number of remote transmitters registered if you chose option 3.

Press and hold remote transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same time.

Press LOCK remote button for 1 second: System should now lock and unlock vehicle once to confirm, twice to indicate registration has failed.

NOTE: to exit programming mode, close drivers door or insert key in the ignition.

Go into Toyota and take your registration with some form of Picture ID and for a fee they will be able to get you the code for that radio. Good Luck

SOURCE: Toyota Avalon 2000 xls cd player does not work

If you are using "home-made" or "burnt" CDs, this can happen. Sometimes, you can remove the radio from the dash, and unplug it. That may reset the CD player, and the discs will eject.
It works for me about 85% of the time. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 1997 Avalon radio theft problem

Some dealers put the radio's antitheft code in the owners manual. If it's not there call your local dealer and they can reset the code for a fee.

Toyota 1995 Avalon. 15 Amp fuse for the Radio and AC blows when I hit a small pot hole.

Your problem is likely a bare wire under the ash that is hitting metal when it moves. You'll have to open up the dash and trace out you wire harness, Start at the radio connection and work back looking for a bare spot in the insulation or maybe even jjust a crack in it. Tape it up and try to reposition it so it doesn't hit metal or chafe again. Hope this helps.

Secuirty Code for 97 Avalon

Sorry , it is different for each vehicle. The toyota dealership should be able to tell you based on the VIN # of the vehicle. If your car happened to come with an owners manual or service manual , look through it for a hand written # . People often write them down so they don't forget them. Good luck.

I just acquired 2005 toyota avalon limited, I noticed when you switch on the radio(audio) and the CD it plays but there is no volume.  Even the volume and mode control on the steering wheels is equally not...

it being an avalon it is a higher end car. a lot of cars these days have external amplifiers factory installed. I would start checking fuses. it might be an aux power fuse or it might have radio fuse. they generally have two fuses that power them though. one that supplies 12 volts continuously so that all presets remain in memory, and the 12 volt switched power source that tells the radio that the key is on. I know that you said that the radio is functioning properly just no sound but your best bet would be to just start checking fuses. there is a fuse box inside car and also a fuse box under hood. you generally have to remove a small black cover and you will see the outside fuse box. when checking fuses though pay attention to anything that isn't working such as the cigarette lighter or horn, these are sometimes the power supplies to the radio. hope I didnt confuse you but an 05 is kinda too new for you to have a bad radio. more than likely something little just one of those aggrivating little jobs of finding what it is.

Code sec showing on radio screen

Take the car to a dealer and have the service manager look at the radio screen. Should be a no charge fix.
