Radio "OFF" message on older Volvo cars. We have all seen post on resenting your radio after the "OFF" message appears on the screen, often caused by entering the wrong code 3 times. The usual advice is that you will have to put the ignition on (position 2 not starting) and wait for 2-3 hours for the radio to reset. Try this first, it worked on my sons V70 T5. I had a "OFF" message on my radio (retro fitting to older Volvo radio/cassette) and entered wrong code. Checked all the usual post on the internet about putting ignition on for around 2 hours then a guy in the USA said remove fuse number 7 ( 20 amp radio) and refit to clear the "off" message. I put the ignition to position 1, turned on the radio..message "OFF" displayed, then removed fuse and replaced it, got back in the car and "code" was displayed, entered 4 digits and radio works. Worth trying. I hope this will help some poor soul.
