Radio Codes Please
 

After a sudden surge of hi-jacked and high jacking of already hi-jacked threads i thought it may be best to post a sticky to try to keep all these issues together, in order that the dealers can offer the best service...

I think if we can start with the Model and Serial number of your unit, if it transpires any more Identificational information is required i will amend the post...Maybe one of the Dealers can clarify this...

There is a small software that provides the 4-digit code if you can input the orientation of the diodes in the back of the CR-906. Real simple to operate but you must remove the top cover of the radio to check the diodes.

I can send it to you if you want. Email add please.

Any help with code.
 

We've just had to disconect our battery before we head of on a wackyrally to budepest, so the idea of travelling the next 1000k+ with no radio is scaring us.
Is anyone able to help with the unlock code for the following

original i belive in our volvo 2l 850

Many Many thanks for any assitance....

Radio Codes
 

Hi all a couple of calculators for CR 705 and Cr 905
You need to see the diodes in the radio to work it out

Can I add that if its an original radio in the car, then by far the easiest method to obtain the code is from the Registration Number or VIN Number. Only when this code does not work I would ever ask for serial numbers off the unit. (In those cases we would need serial number and model of the unit)

Contact details in my signature if anyone wants to get in touch, generally its better to send an email direct to the email below, and i can try to help.

What model is it, or easier still whats the registration number?

Please contact me directly if you can get the details, i will most likely miss a post here.

Just to say thanks to RUFE. Came up good with my code. Cheers much appreciated:thumbs_up:

In search of the Lost Code.
 

Simon fixed it for me as well, very happy to go off to France with some music.
Thanks again.

I went out last night and picked a 1997 Volvo 850, 2.5 20V,

the radio code is missing,

SC-801

S/No ALE41AT1155941
B61155941B

how to work out the diodes?

maybe im missign sumthing real easy here ,????:lightbulb:

Simon tired to fix mine, but the unit had already been recoded, due to whoever put its original code on the Volvo database getting two digits back to front :S

Have a look here to see where they are

Anyone know the above procedure for the 805 unit? Is there a download available for it?

Radio Code
 

Sorry Alan the code is in a surface mounted Eeprom and would need reading with a reader chip no.3132 which is a 24C01 so there is no calc Cheers Bill

Thanks BillG. I actually understood that right up to the eeprom bit. :nah::notworthy:

Got the code from Taggarts Volvo in Glasgow over the phone this afternoon. Took all of 2 minutes to get the code and 2 hours for my display to reset to allow me to enter it.

If the display is saying OFF, you must leave the set switched on, i.e key in the ignition for 30 minutes to 2 hours before CODE reappears on it. Then enter code and sound returneth. All praise The Mighty Taggarts. :thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

Hi Alan glad you got it sorted, nice to know the dealers are helpful Cheers Bill

Just wanted to say thanks to Rufe for getting my code but as usually nothing is easy for me.
sc-801
model3533725
(D.M25/6/85-27/9/87)
NO2/02631/15602

9506 on top but not the code,4969 I am yet to try but it was a small code on a sticker which may have nothing to do with the code.

Thanks again to Rufe for my service history and keep up the good work.
Much appreciated.

Another thank you for Rufe here as well.

Provided the code for my son-in-laws S40 after the battery had been disconnected at a previous service (independant garage). My daughter and son-in-law had taken to 'stealing' my wife's Focus or my T4 'because they've got music' but they've got no excuse now!

They've got a 3.5hr drive to do Friday so were seriously happy last night when I gave them a code that worked.

Once again - many thanks Simon :thumbs_up:

RUFE is a 'star'!!
 

Hi Everyone,

My first post - so hopefully I have pressed the correct buttons...

Just to say may thanks to 'RUFE' - he sorted me out with a
radio code this morning for my Volvo C70.

sorry but i havent replied to this post in while, but thank you to everyone for the thanks!

Just a quick note, its always better to get in touch with me directly than posting here if you need a code, as i will no doubt miss posts made here, for a while at least. I will get back pretty quickly if you ask me direct (during office hours).

:)

Just to say a big thanks to Rufe (Simon) for the code-I can now play CD's!

Top man.!
Thanks again.!!!

Neil

Got in touch with Simon this morning about getting radio code for my SC-901 which I'd got from E-bay to replace the defunct one in car

Got code back within a matter of minutes, changed stereo over and all works sweet as a nut

Big thanks to Simon for this

Top man

Howard.

I am always glad to be able to help. I really don't like hearing of people who have been told they have to pay large amounts for these codes when most dealers will do it for free if asked!


Shameless plug time then, but please dont forget that if anyone ever needs a price on any genuine volvo parts, with our large discounts, please get in touch either by PM or email. Details and link to our feedback is in my banner. [Worldwide mail order service.]


Simon :)

Cheers for speedy response, great work. Very much appreciated.

Just had to add my thanks to Simon (Rufe) for help with a radio code for me, well, actually for a workmate, but....

Cheers Simon. Nice one.. Rest assured if/when I need parts, I'll come to you first..

Ditto above, many thanks Simon for your swift response.
