I learned today that all new Volvos except the C series do not require the user to program radio codes if the current codes are lost during a battery change (or for whatever other reason).
The radio queries the cars computer which provides the stored code.
The radio will not work in any car that provides the wrong code - or lacks a new Volvo computer chip
Cool design.

The problem I find, is that the OEM radios look excellent in a volvo. Anything new is flashy, distracting, and out of place.
I personally would rather have an OEM head-unit, but the one in my 93 240 is slowly dying.

Totally agree, but since they only look proper in Volvo's they are not a hot theif target.
