How to Reset the Radio Code in a Volvo XC 70

As a theft deterrent, Volvo includes in its radios a mechanism that disables the radio when it is tampered with or loses power. When this occurs, the radio will display "code" until the deterrent is overridden. While useful as an anti-theft measure, it can be an irritation to rightful Volvo owners who do not know the four-digit unlock code that is unique to their vehicle. Volvo includes two radio identification cards with the owners manual. If these are misplaced or unavailable, Volvo dealerships should have access to a database of unlock codes.

Instructions

1

Locate your Volvos owners manual and check the inside flap for the radio unlock code and write down the four digit number.

2

Insert your key into the Volvos ignition and turn it to the "On" position. Turn on the radio.

3

Depress the necessary preset button in sequence until the numbers on the radio display match the unlock code. For the code 1425, for instance, press the 1 preset button, then the 4 button, then the 2 button and then the 5 button.
