Quick Answers
Yes. All payments are processed through secure payment providers, and your radio serial number is used only to retrieve the correct radio code.
To retrieve your Delphi unlock code, you only need your serial number. The VIN is usually not required. You can find the serial number on the radio label.
No. In most cases, the serial number is all that's needed to retrieve your Delphi unlock code. The VIN alone does not identify the specific unit, which is why the serial number is required.
Most unlock codes are delivered within minutes after your order has been processed. In some cases, delivery may take longer depending on the manufacturer, but we'll always keep you informed.
If the radio code doesn't work, first make sure that the radio serial number was entered correctly and that the code was typed into the radio exactly as provided. If everything is correct and the issue remains, get in touch with us. We'll verify the radio information and find the correct solution. Our refund policy applies if we're unable to provide the correct code.
Recover Your Delphi Radio Code
Delphi built many of the factory radios fitted to Volvo passenger cars such as the S40, S60, V70 and XC90, with families commonly graded as VR100, VR200, VR300 and VR400. The unlock code is tied to the serial number on the radio unit itself, not to the car's VIN, and the serial is generally read from a label on the radio case once the unit is accessed. Matching the correct serial to the code is what makes each Delphi Volvo radio unique.
When the battery is disconnected or runs flat, a Delphi Volvo radio usually locks and requests a code, showing 'CODE' or a security prompt until the correct number is entered. This is the standard factory anti-theft behaviour and does not mean the radio is damaged. Enter your Volvo radio serial number below to get the matching code online.
A locked Delphi radio doesn't necessarily mean there's a fault. This security feature is standard on many factory-installed radios that requests a security code whenever the battery is disconnected.
If you have the radio serial number, we can help you recover the correct unlock code quickly. The process is simple and secure, so you can reactivate your infotainment system without unnecessary delays.

When Does a Delphi Radio Require a Code?
The Delphi radio security system is designed to prevent unauthorized use. Whenever the radio detects that power has been interrupted, it will request a security code.
This can be brought on by any of the following:
Vehicle Repairs
Power Supply Interruption
Disconnecting the Battery
Radio Transferred Between Vehicles
Everything You Need to Know About Delphi Radio Codes
Yes. As long as you have the serial number, the radio code can usually be retrieved online without visiting a dealership.
Once the correct security code has been entered successfully, it is normally stored in the radio's memory.
The code will only be requested again if the radio is disconnected from the battery.
This usually happens after the radio loses power. The built-in anti-theft system automatically locks the unit until the correct security code is entered.
Most original radios go into a timed lockout after a few wrong entries. Some makers require the radio to stay powered for a waiting period before the next attempt.
Not necessarily. Radio suppliers often vary depending on the market. The quickest check is the maker's label or the serial number on the unit itself.
First, verify that the radio information was entered correctly and that the code was typed into the radio exactly as provided.
Should the problem remain, our support team can check the order and put it right.
