IPD Keyless Entry? 900 1994

Has anyone installed the IPD remote keyless entry on their 940 (or any Volvo)?

Thinking of buying the kit and would like to hear from someone how it works and the level of difficulty of install.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

IPD Keyless Entry? 900 1994

There were a couple of posts on the 240 BB a month or two ago on this. One guy had used the IPD kit and was happy. You do have to pull the driver's door apart to install a lock/unlock solenoid and run wiring from it to the relays...other than that it should be straightforward.

I went the junkyard and elcheapo keyless entry route for the 83 240. Got lock solenoid, wiring harness and linkage from a wreck, 'black box' and remote transmitters from an internet supplier. The setup allows for driver's door 'priority unlock', then the others with a second press on the button. This required some thought about wiring and an extra relay, but works as intended.

For an ugly old guy like me the remote unlocking - particularly the driver's-door-only feature, is just a neat gadget and convenience, but for my wife or daughter, alone in a nighttime parking lot and wrestling a big bag of groceries, it could be a security feature.

If you are interested, I designed the circuit as an Excel drawing and can email.
