Bought another Volvo 850

I couldn't resist this 850 wagon that needs some TLC. If anyone can help we'll appreciate it. The stereo says CODE. Is there any source known to anyone to find out what this code is - we have the VIN? Can [or will] the local Volvo dealer research this for us or are we at Best Buy getting new?

    You are a Volvophile :)

    If the radio is original to the car, the Volvo parts dept can get you the code if you supply them with the VIN. Normally, they will not do this over the phone, you will have to do this in person.

    Sometimes, people write the 4 digit number on the radio casing. Pull it out most of the way and see if there are any numbers written on it. They must be between 1 and 6, usually starting with 3?
    If the owners manual is in the glove box, scan through it looking for the number. I always write mine in the radio section :) The card with the number on it always gets lost.

    What year is this 850 you just bought, and how many miles are currently on it?
