Hi after 3 INCORRECT codes the radio will lock out for 2 hours, during the two hours wait time the radio MUST be powered up and switched on, otherwise it cant count the hours!! Then the correct code should be entered and all should be well. If you have lost or forgotten the code any Volvo dealer should be able to give you it from thr reg. number, but may not due to security issues, (unless you know them!)

Jaytee,
Spot on advice thank you - 2 hours at position one brought the SC805 out of 'OFF' and into 'CODE'. Found your post by search after I had the same problem after a flat battery and my wife put in the code from our last car (an 850) too many times (with some help from the 7 year old!). I didn't have the code when I bought the car, but the local Volvo dealer gave it to me readily and free (some dealers have an admin charge of £25 I understand). However, one of their staff confidently offered the advice "disconnect the battery for at least an hour, and it will reset". Clearly nonsense, but I don't think he was a technician. Thanks again.
