Keyless remote S70 2000

I need two new keyless remotes. They are both lost. Ebay selling them but they
need programing. The listors say just take them to a dealer and they will do
it for free....bull. Both dealers in town charge around $170 and up for programing. Called several
keyshops and they can't do programing either.
Dealer and inde Volvo shop want $240-280 for one programed remote and another
hundred for an extra programed remote.

Any thoughts on this ripeoff!

Keyless remote - you must have dealer program, no option S70 2000

Klaus is right. But, if you buy two fobs and keys at the dealer, they may program them for you as part of the package. Look around - your original key may be somewhere at home.

You and everyone else that owns a 'modern' car is in the same boat. Volvo has this on their web site:

*Volvo Smart Key Technology Update for Volvo Model Year Vehicles 2002-2012
You can also obtain additional or duplicate remote control keys from certain independent repair facilities and locksmiths that are qualified to make remote control keys. Each key must be programmed to work with your vehicle. A list of independent repair facilities and/or locksmiths known to Volvo that can cut and code replacement keys can be found on the Volvo website at www.volvocars.com/us/keys or can be obtained by calling the Volvo Customer Care at 1-800-458-1552.


BUT, there is only one locksmith listed - for San Francisco, CA. None for any other state. I suggest you look in your winter coats or try to appeal to the dealer for 2 remotes. There is no need to charge an hour of mechanic time for a 15 minute procedure - reprogram 2 remotes and 2 keys (the codes change with reprogramming, so all of your keys need to also be reprogrammed at the same time).

The way it as explained to me,
When you do go to dealer for programming
You MUST take all keys and remotes.
If you do not the one that you leave home will no longer work.
