Question
Jumping ahead and not reading the owners manual I disconnected my battery and now my stereo (model #51706)doesn't work. I understand there is a reset code the dealer can give me but it's Sunday and of course there is no one available til' Monday. Aside from telling me to leave the automotive work to men.....can you advise where else I can get this code.  

Answer
Hi Kelly,
Automotive working man here :-P I wouldn't dream of telling you to leave it up to a man, heavens forbid, reminds me, must tell the wife to change the oil on her car this weekend. :-) (as if).
You should have the reset code and instructions in your owners manual or on a seperate credit card sized card, other than that you will need to either take it to your Toyota dealer or get a codes programe from somewhere like Ebay.
