Hi. The battery had died on my Volvo and, of course, the radio would not work afterwards. A Volvo dealership could not get the radio serial number off the radio as it was a reconditioned unit and the number had been crossed out [for what reason I don't know]. However they took the VIN number and got a code number for me. I waited the necessary 2 hours for the CODE to come back on the radio [it had been reading OFF], punched in the 4 digits - did not work, punched them in 2x again and the radio says OFF once again. Any ideas or suggestions as to how I can obtain the correct CODE to use the radio again?????? I bought the car used and did not know, nor did the dealer, that it was a reconditioned radio with the necessary information on the radio whited out. I'm not sure what to do now. Thanks:)
I have a similar problem with a 1993 240DL. The battery was disconnected, and then reconnected, I know the Code as an original owner, but the electronic display did not accept any input from the button controls.
What's this about 2 hours, I only reconnected the battery after 2 minutes. Do I have to disconnect for 2 hours

there is a security system that will call for a code if the battery goes dead or is changed out. call a volvo dealership with the vin # of you car and they may be able to get it with that..they may need the numbers of the radio which means pulling it out enough to read the #'s, and give both numbers to them and they can give you your code
This is a security feature. COD means Code. same thing happend to me on my volvo, i called the local dealership and they asked me for the vin and looked it up. hope it helps
whenever the battery is removed (or car experiences any loss of power) you must type in security code for radio (this is the case with BMWs and Volvos as well). Go to any saab dealership and they can remove the radio and get your radio's 4 digit code, they all have one. Yes, I have done this before ` they didn't charge me and I was in and out in ten minutes.
