Every Eclipse AVN series navigation from 1998 to 2012: which radio was fitted, where its serial number hides, and what we can do with it.
Your code comes from the serial number of the radio, not from the car — so the first job is getting that number off the unit. The table below is your AVN series navigation: the units fitted, and where the serial hides on each.
Already have the serial? Type it in and we will tell you straight away whether we can answer it.

Radio names are what is written on the fascia, not the name of the company that built the unit — a “6000 CD” or an “RCD 300” is what you see in the car. Unit fitment varies by market and trim, so treat the list as the usual case and let the serial decide: it is the serial that determines the code, not the model.
From 1998 to 2012 the AVN series navigation came with the radios below; the serial on the unit is what decides the code.
On AVN series navigation cars from 1998–2012 the radio fitted was usually one of: Eclipse AVN in-dash navigation. The serial reads 6 hex characters; the ESN the unit shows on screen when it asks for a code. We can work it out, and while the rule behind it is still being confirmed the code is free — all we ask is that you tell us whether it fitted.
Careful: most units lock for good after about ten wrong attempts. If a code does not take, stop and email us before trying again.

Yes — while the rule behind it is still being confirmed the code is free, and we ask you to tell us whether it fitted.
These are mostly AVN navigation units, which came fitted to Japanese-market cars — in the UK you meet them in imports such as the Alphard, Estima and Prius. Enter the code the unit asks for on its own screen; your email spells out the steps for your unit.
