    My car needed a diagnostic to find out what was wrong with it. Apparently the mechanics also removed the battery. Now the navigation screen/audio deck is locked. I was told this code is needed to unlock it. Please help me. I own a 2013 Toyota Prius

    I'm not sure which one, I think it's under the hood though. It's a private mechanic.

    Have you tried to enter that code? Looks like you have verify the code by entering it in the second box. I would assume that the two boxes to the lower right are “YES” and “No”, or something to that effect.

    I have to ask ... are you sure that isn't some aftermarket head unit? I've never seen anything in a Gen 3 Prius that looked like that from the factory....

    From a Google search, this seems to be a fairly common problem, and I see you—or someone with the same picture you posted—already asked about this in another forum, where a user (in post #1298 on October 22) offered a downloadable program to calculate the code from the sixteen-digit value shown on the ERC Input Screen (ERC入力画面). Have you tried using this program? (Press 完了 after entering the code.)
    It’s a Toyota NSZT-W62G, sold only in Japan. The user’s manual (PDF) is available on toyota.jp.
