Im wondering if the car is running (the radio works fine right now), if
there is a way to pull the radio activation codes on a 94 850 from the radio
itself, because thats the one thing I didnt get with all the maintenance
records, was a radio code, so if I have to disconnect my battery, Im going
to be without a radio.

Thanks,

If you have old receipts from the dealer, many times they will put the radio
code on the work order, so that if the mechanic has to disconnect the
battery he does not have to chase down the code.

Thanks, but I only got the receipts that didnt have the old owners phone and
address on them, and most of them were done at a non-dealer, so Im just
wondering perhaps I can take my car to the dealer and have them run the vin
to get the radio code from Volvo? (On older Hondas, you have to actually
pull the radio to get the serial number to get the code, Im hoping it's not
the same for Volvos)
 
A dealer can get the code for you, no sweat.....even if they have to pull
the radio, that takes about five seconds and requires no tools.....

I e-mailed my local dealer with my vehicle details and they e-mailed the code
back within minutes. All they need is the VIN number.

.... if it is the original radio.
 
good point - dont depend on the VIN number - pull the radio and get the
serial number off the box, then contact dealer for code. Also most competent
radio shops can do it.

Really? Kind of defeats the point of a radio code... just go round nicking
them, make a note of the VIN before you go, email Volvo and they'll oblige
by emailing you the code? Sounds like a bad idea on Volvo's part!

Certainly if you take the car to a dealer they can do it - would make more
sense if you had to show them the car or some documentation...

you need to remove the radio & provide the serial # of the radio , The model
of the radio I.e.: SC_816 Grey or Black Face, & The part # & Proof that you
own the car unless you do perform repairs @ the dealer & they know you they
will provide this information without much trouble
 
Went to the dealer and he just ran the vin, made sure no recalls were
outstanding, gave me the code and the key code should I need ot make a key
without the existing key.

Thanks for the replies.
