Radio/Stereo: Radio Codes Please

[rooks1]

Thanks Rufe code sent back to me straight away and bingo radio now working
all ive got to do is free the trapped C.D !!!!!

[AlexMcMann]

Also giving thanks to Rufe for getting me a code! Now though, again being new to the Volvo scene (and the fact that I'm an idiot)... How the hell do I get to the point of putting the code in? Granted I've not left it on for two hours, but is that really the way of doing it? I left it an hour and a half and still nothing, and time constraints mean that leaving it two hours isn't always the easiest thing to do!

Hello, i have bought volvo s40 (1996) and my radio is asking me for a code. Previuos car user didn't give me a card with radio code. I attached photo of my radio back with serial numbers:

Radio model: CR 905
Serial: VO1130 H6051044A
Volvo 30850648
I tried decode code using software by diodes, but i didn't find line of diodes inside radio board of elemetns.
Please, help me to get the code

I'd just like to say a big thanks to Rufe (Simon).

It seems my car has had a replacement radio unit so the initial database code didn't work, but after supplying the serial number etc Simon manages to track another code down and we had success.

Thanks again,

Andy.

Rufe, help us

Hello,

I don't mind helping anyone, but please contact me directly, this thread is not the place to find me.

All requests are advised to be sent through my parts request link: http://www.frfvolvo.co.uk/mo-volvo-parts.asp

If its the original unit I need your Registration or VIN, if its been changed from another car I may need the serial number and model of the unit.

I am off for 2 weeks starting yesterday, so now cant help anyone until my return I am afraid.

Another thank you to Rufe for getting my code.

I can't find a downloadable manual for this particular model, but from another manual I've worked out what most of the buttons do. One has me foxed, though. The top right hand button is marked RND and I think that if you have the disc player (I don't) pressing this button will play a random track. Beside the button, however, is the legend "Reg" so it presumably has another function. Anyone know what it is or, alternatively, know of a manual download?
