I purchased some software that helps to decode the code based on the
resistor layout inside the radio. Sadly the individual that sold me
the software from ebay "forgot" to remove the virus that was in with
the software.

Regardless, my antivirus software removed the virus I used the
software and it was the best $5 I spent. Worked a treat on both
Volvo Radio's (though one had, had wrong numbers entered too many
times so I had to cover up the circuit boards contacts with aluminum
foil to clear the wrong codes from the memory.

Or you could give Volvo $80....
