How do you restore the radio of a Toyota Rav4 to factory settings? Let’s see the instructions from our YouTuber. Get into the vehicle, close all four doors, and turn on the ignition.

You need to turn the ignition on and off three times, and an unusual screen will appear: it is the factory diagnostic check. Press the "init" button, it will ask if you want to confirm: say "yes". Wait a couple of seconds and turn off the ignition.

When you turn it back on, you will return to the initial screens that the radio displayed when the dealer handed it over: Confirm that you want to go back to the "apps" and the apps are now installed. Naturally, you will need to reactivate Bluetooth, pair your phone, and re-save your favourite radio stations.
