Radio Anti-theft Code

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 30 Jun 2005, 10:35

Hi,

I have a 1996 Volvo 850. This is a new car to me. It went dead and we had to jump it. The radio asked for the code, and I had no idea what that was. I believe we may have just hit different buttons. I now have the code and understand the concept, but the radio is now permanently on OFF. The Quick Tips book I have says that the radio will lock for two hours if the wrong code is entered, but mine has not come back. How do I get another chance to enter the security code?

Thanks,
hollyj

IIRC, i just pushed a button on the radio, and it asked again for the code... (i have the SC-810 cassette player).

It will lock for two hours' worth of the car being on. Or the ignition in the position right before on (I think "II").
