Remote control - can I buy a used one? - Yes, but that is not all you need V70-XC70 2001

I did call the dealer. The remote is $80 and this does not include programming. Programming is probably another $50. So if I can get a remote for $20 (less, actually), this would be nice saving.

The only question here - if dealer can program the car for an "unknown" remote.
A new one comes with a barcode/number which they probably enter in the computer for programming. A user remote comes without it, and I do not know if they can program it (provided they are kind and nice).

As a side note, I had a Volvo 850 for 7.5 years, put 125K miles on it, and NEVER had to see a dealer. I repaired it myself, once went to an independent mechanic, and bought parts over the Internet.
Now, with V70 and its programmable things, I guess I will have to go to a Volvo service department. Not looking forward to it.
