Toyota Tundra: Reset Stereo System

The Toyota Tundra stereo system is designed to contain anti-theft features that need an access code that typically has four digits. You will notice that these anti-theft features will often be activated once the head unit is disconnected. In most cases, you will need to reset your access code for the operations of the stereo system to be functional.

Once you have the necessary code, you can therefore reset your stereo system by following steps:
