Default Radio unlock code

I did a search and didn't find anything that worked. The usual happened. Changed the battery and the radio locked out to "SEC". Now here is the deal......................This happened to my wifes car a few yrs ago(93 LS-400). The local dealer fixed the problem and I asked them at the time, when they re-set the radio to leave NO code so I would not have this problem in the future. I never set a personal code since then. Now, after a battery change her radio reads "SEC". and is locked out again. I have done the steps in the owners manual to no avail.

Does anyone have a code to unlock the radio that was unlocked by the dealer in the past and was supposedly set-up w/ no security code?

Thanks

try the last 3 or 4 digits of the VIN number for that vehicle.

The Lexus dealer should have it on file if they have gotten it before.
