Car Forum / Volvo Cars / September 2005volvo radio code problem still
I phoned Volvo to get our radio code and our VIN number is not on their database, they think it is imported - Volvo 240 gle K reg I have heard that the radio Volvo TD603 model can be uncovered using serial number and the placings of diodes. Is there anyone that can help with this please? Serial - VO1520C6014006C Picture of diode layout - www.photoscene.co.uk/diode.jpg Sorry for the quality of the picture, my camera is playing silly beggars. >I phoned Volvo to get our radio code and our VIN number is not on their >database, they think it is imported - Volvo 240 gle K reg [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Picture of diode layout - www.photoscene.co.uk/diode.jpg > Sorry for the quality of the picture, my camera is playing silly beggars. hmm thats not the diodes is it? >>I phoned Volvo to get our radio code and our VIN number is not on their >>database, they think it is imported - Volvo 240 gle K reg [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > hmm thats not the diodes is it? Nope - they'd be hidden away inside the radio.

A search on Google will bring up lots of companies and individuals who will sort this out for you. If you're near Birmingham, UK try calling Wilkes Motor Company on 0121 777 5021. I saw someone at his garage decoding a radio while David (Wilkes) was servicing the vehicle. Another alternative would be to look for an in car entertainment company who should be able to decode it for you, or put you in touch with someone local who can do it.

I did call a volvo dealer a few days ago, but because of the problem of the VIN not recognised in the UK, it was not on his database. >>A search on Google will bring up lots of companies and individuals who >>will sort this out for you.

I took my Ford radio to a Ford dealer where I was charged £20 for the privilege of being given the wrong number. You stand a better chance with a car-radio specialist than you do with a car dealer. SignatureCrazy Dog wfh at crazy hyphen dog dot fsnet dot co dot uk Hi, have a look here, never tried it but you never know! http://au.geocities.com/ozbrick850/radio-codes.html Roy > Hi, > > have a look here, never tried it but you never know! > > http://au.geocities.com/ozbrick850/radio-codes.html Hello Roy, thankyou for the link. I saw that page earlier on a search and not sure if other models would work. You can pick up a replacement radio on ebay quite cheaply. What does the radio look like? is it a normal type or one of the volvo bigger ones that you can add a cd changer to. I've got a spare one of the volco sc series radios I took out of my 850 and replaced it with a radio/cd unit. Quite easy to do. It's an option for you to consider. Probably be cheaper and less hassle than chasing the serial number for the radio.
