We get tons of calls from folks asking for their Volvo Radio Code and most of the time the caller talks real nice and friendly, like a salesperson trying to butter you up before a sales pitch.

The reason being that not too many dealerships will give your Volvo Radio Code over the phone, unless off-course you are a regular customer, and they know you.

However nice you are, we will not give the Volvo Radio Code over the phone if we don’t know you. In that case, just drive over to us, the dealership that is, and bring your vehicle registration with you. So we can be sure the radio was not stolen. Not that Volvo radios are a hot commodity.

The Radio Security Code exist for the sole purpose of safeguarding your radio from thieves. The Radio Security Code is also known as; theft-lock, unlock code, security code, anti-thief code, or decoding.

In most cases you will need your radio code after the battery is disconnected or if the battery dies.

The Volvo Radio Codes can be pulled from VIDA or Volvo diagnostic computer database by keying in your vehicles Serial Number or Vin # — starts with a YV######. Your Volvo service advisor will be glad to be of assistance.

If your radio was replaced in the past, then before you call us, you may simply pull out the radio and find the Radio Code INSCRIBED on the radio casing. Usually when a technician replaces a radio he writes the code somewhere on the radio, so that he remembers what the code is.

I believe this is also the case if you have an aftermarket radio and not the original Volvo Radio, because if we use your Vin# to get your Radio Code it will not work if you don’t have the original Volvo Radio.

When you key in the Volvo Radio Code into your car radio make sure it reads CODE and not OFF.

If it reads OFF then reset as follows:

  1. Turn the ingnition key to postion 1.
  2. Let the car sit in position 1 for 2.5 to 3 hrs.
  3. The radio code should reset back to code.
  4. Now, enter the Radio Code.

TIP

Any Volvo dealer can give you your Volvo Radio Code — For free.
