Hello, Did a daft thing. Removed and replaced battery. Radio needs default code entered to restart. I bought the car used and was told the code was the Volvo default. Does this make sense? I tried 1234 and similar but no joy. Can try 3 times then it locks out for 2 hours. This is a long job unless anyone knows default code. Regards, John ,
youll have to pull the radio and obtain the radio ID number off the label - then contact Volvo for the code.
cheers! steve
Whoa! That's kind of drastic. IIRC The dealer can tell you the code from the VIN. No need to remove anything.

The radio slides out in 2 seconds with no tools, nothing to disconnect to read its serial number. If the radio has been changed ever, looking it up by the car's VIN will, of course, not work.
Look hard for the two long slender 'buttons' on the front of the facia, near each side. Press them in and out will pop two handles! Easy!
Cheers,
Jim Kelly

Thanks all for the information. I actually knew the radio/cassette player removed, and how to, but the how to find the code was the real problem. I will get on to a Volvo dealer to try to sort this out. Again thank you. John.
