Gents,
Here's another small issue: the battery was dead in my '96 850 GLT and I
had to put the code back in, after jumping the battery. However, I
forgot the code and put in the wrong code three times and it seems to be
locked in off position.
I think I have the code somewhere, but:
1) What happens if I can't find the code?
2) What happens if I find the code; will the radio respond to the
correct code, or will it remain locked?
Thanks... |

You have to keep the key on with the radio on for about 4 hours until
the radio resets & says code on display then if you have correct code
you can enter if you can not find the correct code then you have to
contact your local Volvo dealer who will be able to assist you in
getting the radio code

"*-344-*Never Forgotten"
Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001.
The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as
long as I live,
nor should any American. |

Car radios are usually made to self-destruct if the wrong
code is entered 3 times. Otherwise, a thief could get the
radio to start by entering different sets of 3 numbers, and
the maximum number of attempts to make it work would be
1000, with an average of 500 tries. >> Stay informed about: 850 Radio Code |

My 98 V70 has 4 digits, so that means 10,000 combinations or an
average of 5,000 tries!
Good luck! If they were that hard-working they wouldn't be stealing
for a living!

Glen is right, we did exactly what we he said, and the Volvo dealer
does supply the Radio code.. mine is a 1990 Volvo,, and we are working
on it and had the battery disconnected many times.. listen to Glen.

Of course if you can only use the numbers from 1-6, you don't have
10,000 combinations, only 1,296. And there's probably a few they don't
use, like 1234 or 1111.
