Decoding car stereos
I have a W reg Volvo S40 and I had a new Cat & Air Mass Meter (?)
installed which must have involved disconnecting the battery for a substantial time, because when it came back from the garage, the stereo wanted me to input a code which I don't know. I've heard that you can freeze stereos overnight to disable this security feature, but I'm concerned this may also damage the stereo itself. Can anyone confirm whether a) the freezer does remove the code and b) the freezer won't kill the stereo? Thanks |

Decoding car stereos
forget the freezer idea, completely, on all counts, contact a volvo dealer and they will help you with this. You should have gotten instructions with your vehicle as to solving this, but that does not always happen. You needed to disconnect the battery, if they ask (although it's not really their business), say you wanted to pre-emptively replace it...happens all the time. You shouldn't have a problem, although you may need some numbers from the vehicle or cd player. -- John |
