I require the unlocking code for my Volvo C70 Radio. I have a series of numbers from the radio which I believe mudt be the serial number. How can I get the code without going to a Volvo dealership?

    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.

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

  • Anonymous Oct 21, 2011

    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 need a code to unlock my car radio for vlvoc70

Press the two little bars at the bottom of the radio and release them so that they both come outwards and pull out the entire radio gently and if you don't see the four number code in the top or the back written there then go to the owners manual locate your car manufacturer's toll-free Customer Service number and call them and let customer service know you need your stereo code and have the vehicle's VIN number, as well as the model and serial numbers off the stereo and read them from the top or the back of the radio. They will provide you with the code. If you are unsure how to input the code, be sure to ask for support at this time or just put the numbers in using the numbers that are used to set your favorite radio stations then write the code on top of the radio with a permanent marker so it will be there in case you disconnect your car battery.

Unlock a volvo sc-816 radio

The SC-816 is made by MITSUBISHI and the code cannot be calculated for free from anywhere on the Internet.

Try your Volvo Main Dealer....or a Decoding service who will plug it into a laptop to read/recode the memory chip (EEPROM)

Howver many Volvo Dealers offer the code for free provided you can quote the car VIN number and the radio serial number

Radio codes

some times dealerships will write them in the owners manual, but if you don't have that you will have to remove the radio and get the serial number and model number off and call the dealer. if you don't want to do that you will have to take it to the dealer.
