I needed my code so i hunted around on the Volvo site. After entering my info in, within 5 minutes I was emailed the code.

Here is the link:

Unless there is a 4 digit number hand written on the radio with a Sharpie there are no code numbers on the radio itself. If you have a dealership nearby just take the radio into the parts counter and ask for the code. If there isn't a convenient dealer nearby write down all of the numbers on the sticker and call the dealer parts counter. They will look the code up for you and it is a free service. They are within their right to try to establish legitimate ownership but stolen double din Volvo radios aren't exactly a valuable commodity.

If you try to enter the wrong numbers the radio will go from Code to Lock and then you need a PITA, radio on for at least 2 hours, procedure to get it back to code.

So, the video was NOT an option? It tells you exactly how to get a code. You can also e-mail Volvo for it.
