Can you fix the OFF code on your 850 Volvo radio?

The OFF code on your Volvo radio stays on after the user has entered the wrong radio code three times or more. OFF actually means On but is in locked mode. To reset this problem so that you can re-enter your correct code, you must leave the radio on showing "OFF" for two hours, sounds ridiculous but its true, just did it myself last night. Make sure you have correct radio code, if not sure, call Volvo and they most likely will give it to you over the phone, just have your vehicles vin number handy. One last note, keep ignition in first accessory position while keeping raido powered for two hours. Once your radio is left on for two hours, CODE should appear, then just enter the four digit code and youre back in business:)
