Does anyone know if any alternate remotes will work with a '97 850 base? I have found one on ebay = it is part #CWTTFWBIG and it is for a 1996 (two round button kind.) It appears they changed remotes in the 1997 850 and the cheapest new Volvo one I have found is $109.00.

I was able to successfully clean the contacts on our 2 button remote.
Took it apart and scraped some crud off of the button portion of the PC board.
Cleaned it with brake cleaner too.
Works like it should now.

Did this car ever have a remote? Is yours broken? You can get a new case and trasfer the innerds from the old case.

I am not sure that the 1997 can be self programmed: turn the key to position II 5 times and leave it in position II. If the red light on the dash starts blinking rapidly or stays on solid red, then you can program your remotes.

Yes, the remotes are different. If you have one, check the numbers on the back to make sure a new one is compatable.
