How to Get a 1998 Volvo S70 Stereo Off Lock

In the 1998 model year, the S70 arrived as the replacement to the Volvo 850. In the storied history of Volvo, which dates back to 1927, the S70 is little more that a blink of an eye, lasting only three years Volvo eliminated it following the 2000 model year. The 1998 S70 came standard with a 168-horsepower, 2.4-liter five-cylinder engine. Also standard on the 1998 S70 was an AM-FM stereo with a cassette player. A buyer could also opt to go with the AM-FM stereo with a cassette and CD player. A security system protects the radio from theft by locking it when it loses a 12-volt power source.
