Radio Code on Volvo 2000 V40

1.Remove radio from central console.
2.Note the serial number from a sticker on a housing.
3.Contact nearest dealer to get the code.

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

From the dealer.

need to notify a dealer the code is a security code for ur anti-theft deterrent system call first they will advise how to retrive to radio id code which is also needed

you will need to call volvo dealer with your vin number and they will give you the code for that vin# and car

Leave the stereo on constantly for 2 hours with the key in egnition but engine not running. After 2 hours the stereo will reset and the OFF will change to CODE.
