Default Radio and aerial issues dag nam it!!

Is there any way of getting around leaving your ignition on for 3 hours in order to allow you to input the code on your 850 radio if it is locked? I heard that pulling the fuse out does it. A lie it is. Also where is the aerial on an 850? 850s the name virgins the game. I just spent several minutes fiddlin with the ashtray to find the fuse box isnt there anymore, those cunning swedes...RAAAAR!!!!! engine bay it was then.....

Don't 850's have those wierd window aerials? They look like the defroster wires in the rear window......? I don't know....but i want one.

and no....the ignition is the only way....supposed to leave the key in position one for 1-2 hours (or three i guess.....) You should get a message "code" on the display. If you put in the code in wrong three times in a row it'll shut dow again.

Only the Wagons have the Antenna in the rear window.
The sedans have it in the Left rear Quarter Panel(Metal)

Only way to reset the Radio is top leave it in the Key Position one till it says code.

BTW the fuse box is under the Hood.
