    it should be stored in the trucks computer (tho not sure which one).....VW cars use a simiilar system, you need a code to unlock the radio, and its usually a sticker in the owners book, but if its missing, it can be retrieved with VAGCOM (VCDS) from the ecu....computer needs to know what its looking for....

    Inside the fuse panel, over head storage bins, heck it can be in any one of the volvo manuals in the case. It could even be in the case, on a business card.

    May be a tag with printed code up under dash behind radio. Have heard of similar issues who had to remove part of dash panel to get to it.

    this is from another member Walleye on a different forum

    "I don't know about a Pete,...

    But I do know that on the volvo I drive at work the code to unlock it is printed on a tag way back up under the dash,....Part of the dash needed to be removed to get to the tag to read it,...

    Maybe check the manual,..."

    I've had batteries disconnected and replaced in a Volvo truck a couple of times and never had to enter a code to unlock the radio.

    I had it not turn on after a jump start. Is it not turning on?
