Battery died in my volvo. Now the radio just says 'CODE' as in the security code needed to reactivate it. I have the code card that came with the card but the code doesn't work.

call stealership - they won't give me the code over the phone. I have to go there, they won't charge me but I still have to go. I don't want to go. =-)

I know the purpose of the system - to deter radio theft and all that but I seriously doubt it does anything positive to my insurance rates.
