Did the V40 exist all the way back in 1996? Either way, they are usually tied to the VIN, so if the radio is original to the car, you can go to the local Volvo dealership and have them get the code by typing in your VIN into their computers.

Good luck!

SOURCE: Need radio code for a 1993 Volvo 940 GL

there are other forums type volvo radio unlock into the search engine. One way has to do with emergency 6666 code. You can get the radio to come on for 5 mins. At least you can then know that you have a working radio and not a dead one. Used car owners frequently think it is a dead radio and pay to get it replaced!! Yes, you must prove ownership at the volvo dealer, but you can get the info for free (if they are good guys).

SOURCE: need code for radio in a 940 volvo

The original response is correct about acquiring the code from the dealer. However, if you just purchased the car, check inside the glove box/manual as it may be located there. Also, you may want to try pulling the radio out of the dash. I have found them written on the radio as well. Defeats the purpose, but some people do it anyway.

SOURCE: PLEASE HELP volvo 1998 v70 radio code

You need to call a Volvo dealer. They'll likely ask you for a number on a sticker on the radio itself. You can find that sticker by pulling the radio out (push the 2 skinny vertical "bars" on each side of the radio to pop them out, then pull on them to pull out the entire radio unit).

Radio code for 1999 volvo v40

Every volvo V40 vehicle has it's own code for the radio.

You will need to talk to a volvo dealer to get the code for your radio and hope they have kept the records in their system that far back.

Hi,please i need radio code for my volvo s40.

If possible remove the radio, make a note of the model and model number on the rear of the unit. Usding your browser enter a search " Car Radio Codes", there will be several web sites which offer to supply the code you need- typical price around £10 or $16US, email your radio details and reply is usually within a few hours.

Code radio

In the owners maunel you should have a card with the radio code on it.

The radio will only display EEE or OFF when the wrong code has been entered and the radio is locked depending on model - this is due to the battery being disconnected and the incorrect radio code being entered 3 times. You will neet to reset the radio. To do this the radio has to be on for either 2 or 4 hours - see the manual for your model. If you got the code from a card from Volvo, and it didn't work, then the radio has been changed or it has been reset by the dealer and your current code is invalid. You will have to pull the radio and find the serial & model number, and get Volvo to look up the code for that radio or the dealer may be able to lookup the radio code via vin# from Volvo. The dealer can reset the radio and enter a new code. When the radio is "ready" to accept an unlock code the display will say "codE". You will need this code if your battery is ever disconnected.

1998 volvo sedan 940 model can you give me code for radio please

HELLO
in order to get the security code for your radio the serial number and VIN of the car are needed, each code is unique to each car it is installed in, it was provided to the original owner with the owners manual when the car was new, the code is stored in the vehicle information computer of Volvo and can only be accessed by the dealer or a few on line web sites, we have no access here at Fixya to these security codes for any make or model car or light truck, here is a web site that may be able to provide the unlock code for the radio for a nominal charge.
http://www.radio-code.co.uk/volvo-radio-codes.html

ALSO GO TO THIS WEB SITE FOR USEFUL INFO ON THE CODE FOR THE RADIO.

How can I get the code for the radio of a volovo 850?

The first step is to try and remove the radio to see if the code has been written on the casing. This is sometimes done with Volvo.

You will also need to provide the model number printed on the front of your stereo as Volvo branded units are often Clarion or another major brand that has been re-branded Volvo.
