volvo radio code problem still

hmm thats not the diodes is it?

A search on Google will bring up lots of companies and individuals who will sort this out for you.

If you're near Birmingham, UK try calling Wilkes Motor Company on 0121

Another alternative would be to look for an in car entertainment company who should be able to decode it for you, or put you in touch with someone local who can do it.

Nope - they'd be hidden away inside the radio.

Thanks. I did call a volvo dealer a few days ago, but because of the problem of the VIN not recognised in the UK, it was not on his database.

I took my Ford radio to a Ford dealer where I was charged £20 for the privilege of being given the wrong number. You stand a better chance with a car-radio specialist than you do with a car dealer.

Hi,

have a look here, never tried it but you never know!

You can pick up a replacement radio on ebay quite cheaply. What does the radio look like? is it a normal type or one of the volvo bigger ones that you can add a cd changer to. I've got a spare one of the volco sc series radios I took out of my 850 and replaced it with a radio/cd unit. Quite easy to do. It's an option for you to consider. Probably be cheaper and less hassle than chasing the serial number for the radio. Regards - Roy
