TimToyotaYaris 0 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Does toyota yaris (2013) car battary change/replacement would need radio codes? I have jump started my car previously but it did not ask for any radio codes. So, conceptually, it should not ask for radio code when I replace the Battery. I also read somewhere that new toyota cars do not have these radio code! However, the older one used the last three digits from the VIN or "320" as default. I am confused. Thanks for any help.

We had a Fiat, and to all intents and purposes, there was "no radio code" but in fact there was. The code was stored in the car's ECU, so if you removed the Battery, the code was still stored, so you had no issues when replacing it. If you moved the radio to another car, you would then need the code. Is the Yaris like that? Mick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parts-King 732 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 No code at all, you will just lose all the pre sets, which you can obviously reset after changing the battery 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. No code, and they are not "married" to the ecu/becu what requires divorce before removal/replacement or "coding" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
