This is my first time posting.

I had a 240 DL and it was the best car I’ve ever had. I just bought a 240 GL, which I like even more!

I would like to use the original radio, which is still in the car. I found the security code—a previous owner wrote it in a booklet. Radio just reads “code.” Not “eee code.” But when I enter the code nothing happens. Should I try to reset it?

I guess my other option is to replace the radio. Does anyone have any recs for what to replace it with?

I think this thread already exists, but I couldn’t find it once I joined the forum. Apologies. If someone can direct me to it, I’ll delete this.

Thanks much!

Best.

 

What does it do when you enter the code? You may try to verify the code from a Volvo dealer, to make sure it's correct. But the radio maybe bad...

 

Thanks, Lev. I was thinking that it might not be the original radio, but it really seems to be.

It’s so unresponsive that maybe it’s just toast. It doesn’t do anything when I enter the code. Just reads “codE” all day long.

 

Radio maybe fried. It should go to EEEE after 3 wrong entries.
