I am sure this subject has been beat to death, after searching and reading through lots of posts on the subject, but I would like to know the true facts. I have a remote that is not working. I took it to the dealer to see about testing and programming, I was informed that I would need the 18 digit code, which I do not have and no sticker inside the car. Now I read on ebay a guy say that dealers can access the Vin number to find codes. He says they are lying if they can't. (for used remotes he is selling). I would assume that the code for the "key" may be in the Vin, but the remote? I need to know the true facts about remote programming for a 2002 Volvo XC70. Thanks!
