2001 V40, No Radio Code Works

internal · Post by **internal** » 26 Apr 2006, 12:12

I recently purchased a 2001 V40 at a car auction and have tried 2 different radio codes the local Volvo dealer gave me. One was based off the VIN, the other was based off the S/N of the unit (HU-615). Neither one has worked. Is there any way to make this radio work? Will I have to buy a new one? Anyone ever dealt with this problem before?

What did the dealer say when you told them the S/N code didn't work? That's out of the ordinary, to say the least.

I talked to the parts department and they told me to have the service department look at the radio. I will be taking the car in next week to have it looked at. I will let you know what happens.

Took the car in for service today. Service department says the radio must be bad and should be replaced. Sounds like they want $$$ for a new radio. Any ideas here or should I just get a new radio? Should I get the HU-615 or something aftermarket? Looks like the going rate for an HU-615 is $185 on eBay.
