Yes. Call a dealer.  If they tell you that you have to come in person or want to charge you then call another.  Even search for dealers over the internet.  Most will give it to you over the phone, a smaller portion will want to either charge or make you come in person.  Again, if that happens just call another dealer.  If the radio is original, you can just give them the VIN.  If you suspect it isn't or if the code they give you doesn't work then you need to pull the radio and gave them the serial number on it.

go to your local volvo dealership, and you must have the car in your name, but ask one of the mechanics if you can have the code for your radio, they'll look it up and give it to you I believe.

Yes, its simply to remove the radio wich is there (two clamps, one on each side) retract the connectors.
You might need to buy a compartment to conceal the part of the opening that will be exposed when removing the bigfront-radio.
(Volvo-dealers can help you) And a cableset wich contains the connectors to the Radio-connectors in the 850 and directly to the radio you buy. (Most radio-dealers hava all kinds)

New radio mounts in only e few hours. All included.
Theese Volvos are very well prepeared for this.
