I tried all of that. My friend had tried to take the radio out, to see if the code was ontop. I called the dealer for the code, entered it, and yet it still only says code. It won’t say eeee or off, it just stays on code. Whether the car is on or off, it always, stays on and says code. Please help!
Ok, PM coming…
Hey Robert! Thanks so much for the info! I got my radio to work by watching your video. However, I have a 6 cd changer & I have yet to figure out how to get that working. Could you inbox if you know how to fix that 6 cd changer part? I would appreciate it! Thank you!
Gland to hear. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Robert it works now thank you for your help
All Volvo’s built between 1996 – 2000.
i have a 1997 s70 that radio only plays casettes which model of volvo has the same radio to fit the exact space in the dash neatly and has a cd player on it?
Rudolph-South Africa
You drove more than 2 hours without turning the car off? Was the radio powered on? If that is the case, you will have to leave the radio on the I position for 2 hours.
Hey Robert I have a 2000 Volvo v70 and it doesn’t come off the off mode and I drove more than 2 hours can you please help me
You are welcome.
Thank you.
Any interruption can reset the clock. Make sure the radio is powered on and the car ignition is on.
been trying all night to get it back to code.. had it in i ii and running each for two hours, the battery was almost dead so i had it hooked up to the truck with a booster cable could this be why it never changed to code yet?
No universal code. You need to contact a dealer to get it.
hi robert..
if i dont have a code…or its not in the manuel..
is there a univursel code
You are welcome. Hope it helped.
Wow what an awesome video. Thank you so much.
That is NOT the code. Please watch the “how to find the radio code” video.
Hello i have you a question. If i have code that starts number 8, how to enter it if the biggest number on radio is 6? please help me….
Thanks for watching.
Very helpful and well done!
Nice. Thanks for watching. Please watch the “Volvo 850 Post Purchase things to check” video.
This help out a lot just brought a 96 Volvo.
Good, glad you found and watched. Hope it sounds great.
Thank you for doing this. This was a tremendous help. I couldn’t find the code, so I called Volvo. They asked me for the VIN number. When they confirmed it, they gave me the code over the phone. By doing what you said in the video, I was able to get the stereo to work again. Thanks again!
Watch the video, it tells you how to get the code.
if i don’t have the code at all?!
Glad it helped.
Thank you for the information. I found that someone wrote it on top of my radio. Excellent information.
If it weak. It has never drained on me.
Will battery drain?
Will the battery drain?
You are welcome.
Thanks
You are kidding right? If there was a short cut, I would have posted it. You can always go to the dealer, purchase a new radio for $750, plug it in and be good to go.
wow ok thank you so much! jw, is it possible to just unplug the radio and plug it back in to get the code display instead of leaving it on for 2hrs? im a little impatient over here as u can see XD
The ignition has 4 positions.
0 = Off
I = Accessory
II = Run
III = Start
You have to allow the radio to reset by turning the car ON (II = Run) but not running, let it sit for 2 hours, then it should say CODE. The car and the radio has to be ON. Then enter the proper code. If you enter a 4 digit code that DOES NOT WORK, the screen will say RPT. If you get that message, you have the WRONG code.
As explained in the video, the wrong code was entered. Now you have to allow the radio to reset by turning the car ON but not running, let it sit for 2 hours, then it should say CODE. The car and the radio has to be ON.
By run position do u mean in accessory mode with all the lights on without the engine actually running?
Some do and some don’t. Most have to have the 2 hours of continuous ON with the key in the run position with the car NOT running. Just sitting there.
I drive a volvo s70 and whenever I start the car my radio says “OFF” so is it okay if i drive 1 hour one day and then 1 hour the next day? Will I get the code eventually or does it have to be 2 CONTINUOUS hours of driving?
As the video instructs, you have to leave the car on (not running) and the radio ON for 2 hours, UN-interrupted.
I got a SC-801 i need the code for. so if i go to a volvo with the unit and ask they should get it for me?
