think you have to leave it turned on with the ignition in pos 2 for 10 mins, then it should reset. It says in the handbook if you have it

You need to leave it alone for a while but i cant remember how long im sure someone will be along soon with the right info

done a bit of research. 2 hours with ignition on to clear it back to "code".
great. is it possible to drive a T5 for two hours without needing fuel? lol!

although not a Volvo radio when i locked mine out i removed the radio & powered it up using an old Scalextric transformer instead of leaving the car battery going flat

Oh Duane! Only you would have an old Scalextric transformer kicking around for this eventuality! 11/10 for initiative though

i used to race them in a proper club, i specialised in the modified class. Made one with tubular aluminium space frame chassis, another with twin engine & all sorts of weird stuff surprisingly lol

2 hours on the dot and it unlocked! was a major mission to plan so i kept car running for 2 hours though!

The time delay increases each time it locks without getting a good code. Some cars we have had here have taken a lot longer to open from OFF mode.
