[nigelthehedgehog]

thanks but have already tried this, site does not recognise serial no!

use zero's rather than O?

Your serial number is actually too long, is there another number that would fit?

[Anadinolin]

you could also phone volvo and ask them there, depending on who you phone, some might say "have it for free" some may say "there is a charge for searching volvo data for your radio code sir, can i have you bank details?" and others might say "bring it in and it's £50 to look at it"

i poned kings volvo southhampton, as soon as the girl's supervisor left she gave me the last known radio code to my HU-605

best of luck


edit: i would write it on the radio aswell...

If you haven't got it yet you need to be talking to Simon http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showth...ght=Radio+Code

That is beacuse it's not a philips radio!
They are only used on volvo 300 and 400 series models !

I got mine directly from the Volvo site, but this only works if your radio is the original, or perhaps if it was replaced by a dealer.

Edit: Site says this is for US only

if you do figure it out, write it down in permanent ink or paint pen on the radio chassis itself.

BTW, if you haven't already, try pulling the radio out to see if anyone has done that already.

I called my local dealer, costs £10 but worth it and it's instant.

If you haven't found the code yet, the easiest way to locate it is to telephone Hatfields Volvo Bury (Volvo Main Agent) - 0161 767 9500 - Manchester Road, Blackford Bridge, Bury BL9 9ST- tell them your reg number and they will give you the code for free...
