Go to Radio and Navigation Codes website if you cannot find your anti-theft radio identification card. Click "Continue" to get to the first page.
Enter your Vehicle Identification Number or VIN when prompted. The VIN is 17 digits and is found at the bottom of the windshield on the driver's side.
Click "Continue" and follow the prompt to enter your phone number and ZIP code. You must enter the phone number and ZIP code that are on file with the dealer. If you haven't changed them, the information is the same as when you purchased the vehicle.
Choose "Continue" and move onto the page to enter your radio serial number. On 2001 and later vehicles, you can find your serial number by pressing and holding the numbers "1" and "6" on your stereo while the vehicle is off. Turn the stereo on and watch for two sets of numbers. The screen will switch between one set of numbers and the second. Each number will start with a letter. Don't worry about the letter and write down both sets of numbers. That is your serial number. For models earlier than 2001, you will have to get the serial number off the back of the stereo. If you don't know how to take the stereo out, you will have to take your vehicle to a dealer.
Enter the radio serial number when prompted. Once you've entered the correct information, Honda will provide you with your radio unlock code. Enter it as directed in the first section.

The only way to access this code is through your dealer, the stereo may have to be removed if the dealer cannot access the code using the vin (vehicle identification number) they will have to access the serial number located on the back of the stereo unit to get the code from Volvo. If you have the manual for the car look through it sometimes people write the stereo code on the inside cover.

Hi!!
When the battery is disconnected or drained and you restore power, the radio will say 'CODE' on the display. This is your cue to find the easily misplaced credit-card lookalikes that have your radio's code written on it. New Volvo owners got two, I believe.

Dealers have your radio code in a database, and can look it up. Many will give you the code over the phone if you've lost your card. You can call any Volvo dealer: they all have the same computer system to look up your Volvo radio code.

Sometimes the code is written on the radio itself. But you have to pull the radio out (not hard) to see it.

Other dealers will have you drive to their lot and speak to them in person. Because the dealer will need to read off the radio's serial number to cross-reference it with the unique code, bring your radio, and your Volvo. Some reportedly charge US$10-$100 for this. Hmmmmm. I suppose dealers can choose to charge for this, and we can choose to not go back, right?

If you don't have the code, call the dealer to ask what they need from you. Don't pay the dealer any money for the code! If they want money, hang up and call another.

Good Luck!! A 4 THUMBS UP rating for this solution will be highly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa!!

do you have owners manual...directions are in it. with code

Yes if you have your VIN # your dealer will provide the code.

need radio chassis number to generate the code ,or ask the dealer

you must call the dealer with your vin number and radio serial number. bentley publishers carries these kinds of manuals or ask the dealer when you call them for the code. happy holidays.

I just posted a solution for this problem. It comes straight from the radio manual. The dealer should have told you this. If you want him to do it he'll charge money for his time. IF YOU LOST YOUR CODE. THE DEALER CAN HELP YOU OR IF YOU HAVE YOUR 4 DIGIT CODE:

sometimes the previous owner might wrote it down on the owners manual but if not then you need to pull the radio out and get the serial number and call the dealer they will give you a code
