Need radio code for 1999 volvo v40

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!

Volvo code = Dealer only

It should be in the owners manual

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.

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.

Radio code is specific for each and every car. It is specific like anti theft code.

So you can get it by providing your VIN# and registration details in authorised dealership.Nobody else can provide you. If anybody can provide you that , then there is no meaning of security for your car..

Radio codes are performed by the original owner. If you have the owners manual they may have wrote in in that book for reference

consulted Volvo agency and problem solved.
