Help! 2004.5 S40 Stereo issue... Topic is solved

Every time I turn on my car, or change radio station on the stereo, the volume will go mute after 2 seconds, and the display will read, "Press Exit to Cancel" Cancel WHAT!??? I have no idea what is going on, but it is super-annoying. Does anyone know how to make this stop??

This is a problem with my car also. They have replaced the radio and reprogrammed the car multiple times without success. Another person with the same problem on this site suggests that the ignition switch may be faulty and need replacing. It is very frustrating. I'm going to talk to Volvo again. Try turning the radio off before shutting the car down. Then, turn the radio on after starting the car and see if the problem is still there.

They now have a software patch that actually works. I had my car's software updated earlier this month and all the radio problems I had, like yours, are fixed so far. Ask the dealer to update the software. Good luck.

Hi,

I was having the same issue with my radio on my new S40. They replaced the radio and updated the software. It turned out to be an issue with the amplifier. Have the dealership check that.
