Volvowith18psi Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Leave the radio connected and your ignition turned to "on" but don't start the car. Make sure the radio has juice, leave it this way for 2hours, enter code and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Leave the radio connected and your ignition turned to "on" but don't start the car. Make sure the radio has juice, leave it this way for 2hours, enter code and win. To be more specific, leave the key in pos 1 with the radio turned on displaying "off" You will need to leave it here for 2-3 hours until it displays "code" then you can enter the appropriate code. If you enter a code once and the word code pops back up, don't re-enter the same code, it's not the correct one. You get three shots at this before you start over again. Call your local dealers parts department with the serial number and part number located on top of the radio and they can get you the correct one.
