    When I started the engine today of my Volvo, the stereo wouldn't work, and the display reads Locked. Does anybody know how to unlock it and get it back to normal? Thank you. 0412150543.jpg

    Thank you. The display now is asking for the code. I'll try to get the radio out and look for the code on the unit. What a pain.

    Wow, is Volvo putting 'high end' stereo equipment in these days? Last Volvo I drove had pretty decent sound, but I wouldn't consider it theft worthy equipment.

    This truck has something wrong with the electronics in the steering column. Sometimes the windows won't go down. Sometimes the stereo won't have volume. Sometimes the cruise won't work at all. The way I get all of these issues to work, is to turn the engine off, and then turn the key back and forth a few times, then start the engine, and go. This is the first time the stereo has done this lockout thing.
