Volvo S40 radio pass code needed

yeah try a another volvo dealership they should give it to you free

When you disconnect your battery and then reconnect it again, it disables the radio. This is an anti-theft protection for your car radio.
The enable your radio the activation code is in your vehicle owner's manual. If you do not have this code you need to go to your Volvo service centre and get them to enter this code for you.

We do not have radio code access from the manufacturer. Please contact your local Volvo dealer for assistance with this problem

nope. and you need to hook up a battery charger or battery will go dead before its done and your at square one again

Volvo codes are usually readily available for free from your Volvo dealer providing you can quote the VIN and Radio Serial Number

The only solutuion is go to the dealer

Hello there. I have a Volvo V70 that I bought recently and it had the same problem. I left the ignition switched on for about two hours and after that time the reading had changed from OFF to Code. I then entered the code and Hey Presto It worked. When I purchased the car it too had no code. I went to a Volvo Dealership, with proof of ownership of the vehicle i.e. Log Book and proof of ID , I used my Passport, and they gave me the radio code.The only dowside was I had to pay them £10 for this code but I feel it was worth it. I suggest you try this too. Good Luck.

you have to go to a volvo dealer and they contact the manufacturer to get code

Check battery voltage while trying to start car.  May need new battery.  Since you just bought the car the battery may be weak from sitting at a car lot for a while. 

Call your Volvo dealer with the VIN number. They can give you the code and advise if you can reset it yourself or if you will have to take it in.
