I got a code from Volvo and found the same code written on the coding page of the owner's manual. But its not the correct code.

Local dealer says that the radio must be bad and it needs to be replaced.

Most likely, the radio has been replaced and the database is incorrect, but I cant get and answer...

What was the cut the diodes trick? Will it work on the SC-811 radio?

Thanks.

I am still in shock. After 2 days of frantically search the web, calling dealers and emailing code-givers on the net, I found the code stenciled inside the ashtray.

And it worked on the first try...

a big thanks to rufe
 

thanks simon for the code i look
forword to buying parts from you
thanks again

Protecting radio code
 

Hope this is not too far off thread - I have mislaid my code, but I know I will find it in time. However, I need to carry out some maintenance requiring battery removal (detailed in another thread). Is it OK to connect another battery in parallel throughout the process, so system is still live, or are there other implications of which I should be aware?

Depends if you are removing the battery to gain access or if you are working on other electrical equipment which would make it a safety consideration.

Sorry for delayed response - access only - no electrical work to be undertaken

Looking for a radio code for a 2000 S40
 

Please can you help me finding a radio code for my original Volvo radio in my mk1 2000 reg S40 GDI
This is an Irish car reg 00 KE 6488.
I have sent the VIN to FRF Swansea using the online form after reading the advice not to put it here publicly.

Simon, if you see this, please can you let me know if you received my VIN correctly although I am not sure if you will be able to get a radio code for an Irish car. I tried to send it as a message through the forum but it was not possible as I do not have enough posts.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks very much for providing this code Simon!

Hi Simon

I think you better of contacting volvo dealer! I've been given my code within 2 minutes free of charger! What they need is just a number plate registration.

:)

Hello, I tried my local Volvo dealer and they wanted £15.00 for the code! Which dealer did you use? Do you have their phone number please. Cheers Simon

ring this number Simon 0844 2447401 ( Marshall Nottingham Volvo
) and ask for technical department!

don't mention anything about the price, just say you need the code! I got my codes free of charge twice!

That'll be those pesky evaporating bits of paper!

Could someone please help me with getting a code for my SC-801 s/no AL2023T0143404

cheers again

I tried to PM Rufe today to ask for help but the forum says I cannot as I haven't made 30 posts? Any help/suggestions appreciated. Reg R984KBM

Just a quick message to thank Simon (Rufe) for supplying me with the correct code. I had to leave the ignition key in the "1" position with the radio on for 2 hours to reset it so I could enter the code.

Thanks again it worked a treat :thumbs_up:

Inputting code
 

Probably a stupid question but, to input the code do you press the 1 -6 keys by for example code no 2345. Press preset key 2 then key 3 then key 4 then key 5. Or is it like my last car. you press preset key 1 twice then key 2 three times etc
My unit is a 700 by the way

Hope you can clarify for me

volvo radio code!!!!:(
 

hi there,
need the code for my mom's 940.
serial no. is:

V09560 V1691017B

Please!!!!!!!!!!

Phone or visit any dealer. Armed with the car registration number they can supply the code for the original radio unit fitted to the car. Some may charge up to £10.00 for the info but most no longer make the charge since it is less than 30 secs on the PC.

I'm sure the vast majority of peeps here will understand that, Simon.
You provide a most excellent and valuable service to us and that's so appreciated.
Hope you find some "clear water" soon.!!..

btw...can you provide...............sorry..only jesting.:wac_biggrin:

Neil

I have wrote to you somewhere on here...possibly to your wall.

I would appriecate a code, but i understand that you are a busy man.

No rush.

Thanks

Annoyed with Volvo
 

Hello all!

I have a Volvo T4 s40 ..HU-605 unit id rather not replace it.i would make my day if you could help me out here.
I called volvo this morning and they wanted to charge £18 for the code..i tryed to convince them to give it to me but they wouldn't, its left me quite annoyed...anyway if you can help me that would be so amazing i cant tell you..anyway the details needed are as follows:

Anti theft code (sticker on top of unit) 0292

VIN: YV1VS37691F63069

once again thanks, i really dont want to be ripped off by volvo for a 9 year old (great but still 9 year old) unit.

can you help me with my code...1999 v40

much thanks

unfortunatly, it seems Rufe is no longer giving out the codes anymore, so anyone looking will have to visit the dealer. Thanks for all the codes in the past:thumbs_up:

Hi,

I am still giving out codes where required. Unfortunately I have given more codes to you in one year than I am actually comfortable with doing (more than 10), so in order for me to carry on supplying members here with radio codes I will limit the amount of codes I am giving to any one person. I have to draw the line, this service was for helping individuals on here who were struggling with finding a code from their local dealer for their own cars, not for people buying and selling multiple units I am afraid.

Sorry about that Bobbych.

Simon

No problems, I understand your reasons. But all I can say, is I am sure I have not had more than 5 from you, and all the ones I get, I sell to members on here, as hacked units, so they all benefit members of this forum.
