Talk to a Toyota dealer. He should be able to supply the code (for a price). Have you looked in the car's owners' manual or radio manual? It's usually recorded somewhere..

it is an anti theft device that activates when power to the radio is cut
the code would have come with the new radio or is in the user manual for the radio
It's a radio security feature. When you disconnected the battery, it was just like you removed the radio. Your radio won't work in any other Volvo, to prevent it from being stolen and used in another car. You need to take it to the Volvo dealer to unlock the radio.
With the car, comes a plastic "infocard" with the radio and alarm codes. If you lost the card or didn't receive it with the purchase, you can ask for the code to the radio manufacturer, they'll ask you the serial number of the radio and the car and they'll send you the code.
The radio will have to be removed from the car dashboard .Then please quote the MAKE + MODEL of your radio plus ALL the LETTERS and NUMBERS on any LABELS , BARCODES or STAMPED IN THE METAL CASING. Also quote the MAKE of CAR it is fitted into. Please note: Not all stereo codes can be calculated from the Serial Number
However many VOLVO dealers will give you the code for free if you have the car`s VIN number and radio Serial Number + paperwork
To get the code for the radio. Fist you need to get the model number and serial number of the radio. Which is at the top of the radio or the bottom. This requires you to remove the radio to get to it. Once you have this you have to go to the dealership and give them the serial number and model number to get the code..
Suggest you read th manual on the radio. Some radios you have to push in the on off button until the enter code window appears.
In other words push in to turn radio on and hold it in that position until the code window appears in the screen. Then enter code.
Never heard of disconnecting the battery to clear the code. All that does is tells the radio that an attemp was made to steal it, thus regenerating the lock 10 code. What it does clear is the ECM Module codes. Who was the dumbwit at the dealer that told you that? He needs to be sent back to school.
