    Probably the 2h is on the radio and the radio counts down 2 hours. If the radio was turned off at the time, you could wait.

    I do not understand you are suggesting that the radio should be turned on for 2 hours to be unlocked at all?

    I'm not suggesting anything - I'm writing how you should do it.
    You will do what you think is right - you can wait with the radio off the next day if you think that this will solve your problem.

    Yes, it should be turned on, otherwise you will not be able to enter the code again.
    Usually, 30 minutes is enough.
    As you have it you can connect the charger to the car at this time so as not to discharge the battery.
    I do not know how it is with you, but usually it is not possible to turn on the radio without the key in the ignition.
    You need to get the radio code anyway.
    Try to remove the radio, sometimes the code is saved on the radio if there was data to decode.

    I have a code for the radio because I called the previous owner and it turned out that he knew where the code was

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around unlocking the original radio of a Volvo V40 I after it was locked due to incorrect code entry. The user initially disconnected the radio to install a different one but faced issues when reconnecting the original unit, which prompted a code lock. Participants clarified that the radio must be turned on for a waiting period (typically around 2 hours) to allow for code entry. It was suggested to keep the ignition on during this time to prevent battery discharge. Ultimately, the user successfully unlocked the radio by waiting with the ignition on for the required duration.
