Toyota built the Auris I as the European successor to the Corolla in the compact class. Like the Corolla E15 and the Yaris II of the same era, it is fitted with a Fujitsu Ten radio — and along with it, a four-digit security code that springs into action the moment you disconnect the battery.

Which radio is fitted in the Auris I?

The Toyota Auris I (2007-2012, chassis code E150) was fitted as standard in Europe with a Fujitsu Ten radio. Fujitsu Ten — later rebranded as Denso Ten — was Toyota Europe's primary OEM audio supplier during that period.

The unit is a 1-DIN radio with AM/FM reception and, on most trim levels, a built-in CD player. The exact part number is printed on the unit's sticker and always begins with 86120-, followed by a five-character code that varies by trim level and market.

Comparison with the Corolla E12 and E15

The Auris I shares the same Toyota E-platform as the Corolla E15 (2007-2013). The radio installation and code entry procedure are virtually identical to those on both Corolla generations. If you drive a Corolla E15 and have landed on this page by mistake — the same steps apply.

The difference lies in the dashboard layout. The Auris I has a wider centre console with a slightly different trim panel than the Corolla. The radio itself is comparable.

The Auris II (2012-2018) is different

The Auris II moved to Toyota's Entune infotainment system on higher trim levels. Entune is VIN-linked and does not require a traditional radio code. If you drive an Auris II (2012-2018): check whether you have a standard DIN unit (code required) or an Entune screen (no code required).

Retrieving the radio code without removing the radio

Check the following places before reaching for any tools:

1
The service booklet — Toyota included a small code card with new cars. This card is often tucked loosely between the pages or stapled to the inside cover of the service booklet.
2
The glove box — Dealers sometimes attached a sticker with the radio code to the inside of the glove box lid or its inner walls.
3
The vehicle documents — A new Toyota was delivered with an envelope containing the keys; the code card should be inside.
4
Your Toyota dealer — With the VIN, a dealer can check whether a code is on record, provided the car was originally registered as new at a Toyota dealership. Nothing found? In that case, you will need to read the serial number directly from the radio unit.

Removing the radio from the Toyota Auris I

The radio sits behind the centre console trim — a large plastic panel that also surrounds the air vents and gear lever. Removing it takes some patience, but is perfectly manageable without specialist knowledge.

What you will need

  • Plastic trim pry tool — or wrap a wide flat-head screwdriver in tape to avoid scratches
  • Torx T20 bit or a Phillips screwdriver (check which size applies to your car)
  • Good lighting — a phone torch is perfectly adequate

Step by step

1
Switch off the ignition and remove the key.
2
Insert the plastic pry tool into the seam of the centre console panel — the large plastic surround around the radio. Start at the bottom or side of the panel.
3
Release the clips by working steadily along the edge. The Auris I typically has four to six clips. Apply even pressure; do not yank the panel.
4
Remove the trim panel. Watch out for any cables — there may be a connector for the switch lighting or heating panel. Disconnect these before pulling the panel away completely.
5
You will now see the radio held in by two or four screws — Torx T20 or Phillips. Remove these.
6
Slide the radio 10–15 cm forward. The wiring connectors at the rear are long enough; you do not need to disconnect them.
7
Read the serial number from the sticker.

Reading the serial number

The serial number is printed on a white or silver-grey sticker on the side or top of the Fujitsu Ten unit. The sticker contains several numbers:

  • The Toyota part number begins with 86120- — you do not need this for a code request.
  • The serial number is a separate sequence of letters and digits.

Note down the full serial number, including all letters, digits, and any hyphens.

Practical tips:

  • Use your phone as both a torch and a camera. Take a photo and zoom in afterwards to avoid transcription errors.
  • Do not confuse the letter I with the number 1, or the letter O with the number 0.
  • If the sticker is damaged or illegible, a Toyota dealer can look up the original serial number and associated code via the VIN, provided the car was originally registered as new through Toyota.

Entering the code on the Toyota Auris I

When the radio displays "SEC", "CODE", or a similar prompt after switching on the ignition:

1
Turn the ignition on — position II (the engine does not need to be running).
2
The display shows the code entry screen.
3
Use preset 1 to set the first digit. Each press increases the digit by one (from 0 to 9, then back to 0).
4
Use preset 2, 3, and 4 for the second, third, and fourth digits.
5
Check that all four digits on the display are correct.
6
Press OK or MODE to confirm. On some variants: hold preset 5 briefly. If the code is correct, the radio switches straight to normal operation. It will start playing immediately — there is no separate confirmation message.

Lockout after incorrect attempts

If you enter the wrong code several times in a row, the Fujitsu Ten radio will temporarily lock. This is a built-in delay function, not a fault. The lockout lasts 30 to 60 minutes.

Here is how to handle it:

1
Leave the ignition on — engine off, key in position II.
2
Wait at least 30 minutes. Do not switch the ignition off.
3
Do not disconnect the battery during the waiting period — this does not reset the timer; it restarts it from the beginning.
4
Once the wait is over, the code entry screen will reappear. Make sure you have the correct code before trying again. If in doubt, retrieve the code again using the serial number.

With the serial number from your Fujitsu Ten radio, you can request the correct unlock code online. You will receive the code quickly by email, ready to enter straight away.
