Stereo theft protection goes out of sync......

Post by kaer »

.....with the alarm (Volvo Guard) on my 855 (1995). Sounds silly ?? Hard to explain, but the Stereo (Volvo original w. CD and Cassette) has a "Disc in" theft protection feature, which disables the CD in case of theft. (What it actually does is, it prevents the loading of a CD into the drive.) This feature seems to be connected to the alarm. Once in a while they seem to go out of sync, leaving you without the use of the CD. Very annoying. Does anyone know of a simple solution to this ?? The way I usually overcome this is to press the remote twice in rapid succession, and after about a hundred tries or so, it usually comes into sync again, but not always. :?
