That is something that only the dealer can supply. There have been so many radio thiefs that the code can only be obtained by bringing the car to the dealership.

Make, model , year helps . Most factory sound systems have a security lock code set for ea radio. You can replace the exact radio and it wont work unless you enter the radio code set for ea one. Honda for example gives you codes for free if you show your owners permit . GM charges for it
Sounds like you would like to know how to get a radio code because you're locked out of your MMI? If so, try entering your VIN here and generate your code. If that doesn't work you'll have to take it to the dealer: http://www.radio-code.co.uk/audi-radio-codes.html
Sorry, but radio locks are not easy to crack and may require specialist services in order to achieve. Don't take the advice of people who recommend putting the radio in the freezer for extended period of time. This can often simply damage the stereo components.
if its a factory radio then you will have to go to the dealer to get the code and procedure.you will have to show proof that you own the car.write this down so if it happens again you will have it.
Just wait one hour and it will reset and you can then try it again. You have ten chances. If for some reason you start to put it in wrong again, just put in any digits as if that were the 5 digit code. If you don't complete, it will lock again and you will need to wait another hour. I hope this helps and good luck.
This is a anti-theft device built into your radio designed to foil robbers. When the radio looses power, the radio locks up. This makes the radio worthless on the black market. The thieves know this and don't steal it as a result. Your owners manual tells you to clear the code if there will be a power loss (changing the battery). There may not be a recovery procedure.
In the GM (1995) version of this system, there is no recovery (if there were, what would be the point of the system?). I don't know the specifics of the Volvo system. You may want to talk to your dealer before you replace your radio. I am sure you will have to prove ownership of the vehicle.
Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com this morning.
You have to go to the dealership to get the theft lock code for the radio if you don't already have it. go to the parts department, tell them your need a radio code and give them your VIN. They'll probably charge you a couple bucks and turn it on for you. just make sure you right the code down for later, if you ever changer the battery again.
You have to go to the dealer. If you disconnect battery with theftloc and don't know the code, that is the only way to get it reset. When you do that, make sure you keep the new code.
