How To Find Volvo Radio Code 850 960 S70 C70 etc

Go to the dealership. They will require the vin number. But all radios are different to prevent theft. That is the only way I have found to get the codes. You will need to have your vin number for them.

You will need to turn the ignition to the number 1 position and turn the radio on. It can take several hours, but the word code should come back on. When that happens, you will need to put the correct code in. If you don't have it, a Volvo dealer can give you the correct code from your VIN.

if the vin no may not be able to help, pull out the radio set and get the serial nos and together with it, get your local Volvo dealer to obtain the code. I did mine in Malaysia at no charge.

Any well meaning volvo shop would give a code if you take your car got free of charge!try i think it is not much of a deal.

Call the manufacturers 1800 # or call the dealer you bought the car from and give them the VIN and sometimes they want the serial # off of the radio.

This Volvo code is only available from the Main Dealer or a Radio Decoding Service

I just got the security code for mine. 6626...you can try it. Or go down to your local Volvo dealer with your registration. They can look up the code using your VIN number.

The dearlers are the only ones to deactivate a stereo code, I tried on my car and found no other sources but the dealer. All they did was run my VIN and found a solution and reactivated my stereo. this was on my 02 gm pickup. Please rate thanx... Charles

call your local volvo dealer and tell them your battery went dead and that you need radio code. they will ask you for car VIN...dont go that route, pull out radio and give them the numbers on the sticker ontop of radio. and make sure you keep the code written down. Good luck.
