Go to a torrent site or torrent cloud and look for a torrent called radio codes decrypter ,you will find the volvo decoder in this package
Pull the radio out and it should be be a four digit number on the top of the radio but here's the trip, if your radio says OFF, you would need to put your key in the ignition, turn the key to the first line position (this should not turn the car or lights on at all), and wait for at least 2 hrs, then the when the radio says "CODE" that is when you would enter the code. That is what I was advised by the Volve dealer. The first time I entered the wrong code and I had to re-do the reset another 2 hrs and then it worked.

If you know the code and you tried too many times it will lock out. You have to leave the car run for about 2 hours before it clears and you can try your code again. if you dont know the code than you have to get the dealer to reset and it will be costly.

I got the code from a dealer -no charge . I just needed the VIN. you might even be able to do it by phone or email. Also the Volvo of America HQ is in NJ. you could always call them if you don't trust the local dealer.
