More than likely a blown fuse.

You need to pull the head unit out and check the inline fuse first.

I would call into a Toyota dealer as being that year it could just require a code. The code can't be given over the phone.

Display on head unit would light up to allow code to be entered!

Not an Alpine or early Fujitsu factory unit. only the late model stuff will display SEC in the display

Ok lets just say a Toyota dealer is not allowed to give out the stereo codes over the phone. The customer needs to come into the dealership to prove ownership. You may have got yours over the phone but it wouldn't be good advice given as the person you tell next may not get theres over the phone. TNZ mystery shop the dealers on a regular basis and penilize if codes are given out without proof of ownership.
