Audi lost a law suit last year and had to make the software available to locksmiths, for a small fee.
To my knowledge, Volvo still owns the software and does not share.

If you still have the inner workings, buy a new case and move the electronics. The key for the car should still be able to unlock the driver's door.

Some dealers charge an arm and a leg to reprogram a new remote, others do it for free if you are a good customer. It only take 2 minutes for the 1997-1998 cars. Remember, your car does not need a software "download", just a programming update. Make sure the dealer's service advisor knows this.
