Outstanding, thanks Elmo.

Readers please note this works only for cars in the US, and cars with the original radio.

He's on an imposed "sabbatical" because of poor written communication skills. Read: suspended for being rude.

I'll PM you his email address.

If you call the 1-800 Volvo corporate number listed in the owners manual or online they will be happy to give you your radio code for free in a matter of minutes. Sure beats dealing with my local stealershio which is an hour away and wants to charge $10 per code. At least they are not as bad as Audi who wants to charge $25 and a dealer service visit.

I just went through this with a 2000 V70 that was given to me. Here's the web form I used. The page gave me the code as soon as I finished filling out the web form.
