stereo code
hi all
may sound bit dense here but need to get code for stereo.
who should i go to - would a car stereo shop be able to unlock it or if i was to go to volvo would they have the code somewhere?

If its the original stereo then contact your local volvo dealer with your reg number and possibly chassis number and for about £10 they should be able to get the code for you.
If you have no joy or it's not the original then some companies do advertise in the like's of autotrader for unlocking stereos.
Hope this helps.

what model is it? You usally use the tune up/down buttons to roll through the numbers, and another button submits and moves to the next code
Be warned, if you get it wrong, it will start a delay before it lets you try again. Most keycode stereos do this, and the delay is often exponential, so it's easy to lockyourself out for days, weeks, even months if you guess
I have my first one decoded by a local garage after volvo gave me the wrong code, he put a device, like an eeprom attathced to a wire, piggy backed it onto one of the chips and ran some software which "located" the code... was quite impressive
