Used radio code- V70- 2002

Post by Mr. Detail »

My radio went on the fritz after 223k miles and I found a used one (HU-613) on eBay but the speak of needing a code to make it work. Do I need to go to a Volvo dealer to get this code? Obviously the seller pulled this from a bunker and doesn't have the VIN.

Radio code is a Volvo 850 issue. Not an issue with the P2's.
04s60 2.4
04xc70 2.5t

So br0dy519, you are saying that if I purchase a used radio to match my present old one (HU-613) I won't have to worry about it turning on when I plug it in?

Correct. It was a - 2000 MY issue. P2 it is not an issue. As they made the radio a unique shape for Volvo's I have never heard of one being stolen. Because they did that I assume Volvo did not see it necessary to use a code for it.

Good luck with the swap.

Thx much Neil.
Now I just need to make sure the seller has tested the used one for working order.

Heh guys. One last look at this. Can you take a quick look at this used radio I was thinking about buying on eBay?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/406533527968?m ... name=11051

The seller is saying that my VIN (YV1SW61R221256378) shows a Model "HU-413" radio when the actual radio in my base v70 shows a HU-613. Kind of confusing as the listing is for a HU-613.

I would get a large LCD touchscreen screen , double din with rear camera , smart phone integration, GPS , etc, $150 maybe. Amazon
along with adapter front plate and plug kit to match what you have, look at the back of your radio before ordering.

Wow, jonesg, I didn't think I could get something that modern for around $150. I will check it out. Thanks!

Good luck finding something at that price these days. I wish you luck.

The question you ask is if the unit is an HU-613. The part number on the top 8651153 relates to a HU-613, as does the large 613 on the label.

I think it may have had an aftermarket 'wood' front glued on as the model number should be on the front lower RH of the unit.

I am in the process of having an Alpine head unit fitted to our 06 V70 with a back up camera as it was not fitted with back up sensors ( the boss's demand!). I was considering doing it myself but the wiring for the head unit is more complex than I like to deal with and we have a good shop locally for installs. It has been delayed as the only bezel available looks naff as it has a large gap around the actual radio. I have ordered 2 others from Ali Express which should fit better. I'll check which is best when the 2nd one arrives hopefully next week.

The head unit is a full bluetooth unit with bluetooth streaming. It was bought on sale for $400 CDN (about $300). There are cheaper units out there and if you are not fussed about a back up camera they are cheaper.

Good luck!

Neil.
