Programming used remote

You do not programme with the fob (remote). You align the fob to the car using the prescribed method. Ensuring that the alarm is off the ignition is turned on & off five times leaving it on after the fifth. Then press the button on the fob and then turn the ignition off. The fob should now operate both alarm and central locking as normal. Programming of the alarm is done as described in the manual for the alarm system (VolvoGuard).

1999 needed a pin code which is entered to program the remote as for not being able to program a used remote unless the remote is faulty it will be able to be programed for the car Glenn

Thanks for the elucidation old pal. I thought there might be some difference after I'd sent the message.

But how can I get the pin code if the ebay seller doesn't supply it? Is there any chance?

You have to have the dealer program the remote for you as the dealer is the only place that has access to the web site that Volvo has set up even if I could get you the pin codes you still have to have the remote programed wish I could be of more help Glenn

To clarify: The pin code is for the car, not the remote. This code is needed along with an electronic tool to program the car to recognize the new remote.

But the dealer says he needs this pin for the pilot and then he could program the car. He said I should get it with the remote if it's new. He enters the pin in his computer to recognize right remote I think.

So do I need it or not?

If so, then how can I get it out from it?

Find another Dealer who knows what is going on. Post the vin # & I will get the pin codes & post them for you Glenn

My VIN # is YV1NK56C2XJ011555 My dealer told me that I should get a remote with #9184784. Could You checkis that possible that I'd program remote with #9184786, becouse I've foune this one brand new.

Would this also be the case for a 1998 V70? There seem to be a fair number of remotes for this vehicle on ebay at any given time. I might just pick up a spare if it's simple to reprogram the car to the remote.

I'm assuming most of the newer cars are reprogramamble using the five times ignition method, however it's not clear to me if you could get two used (unmatched) remotes to work with one car. Is that possible?

Thanks, Joe

Yes, it has the same remote as mine so you have to go to a dealer.

You assume wrong. the newer ones are reprogramable only by the dealer. The old ones could be reprogramed by ignition method.

Will get the information @ work & post back with the codes if you have a fax # let me know I can fax the information to you on Wednesday Glenn

I'm confused, which years can use the ignition method? I guess I assumed (incorrectly) that there weren't many models with remotes prior to '98. My '91 240 certainly didn't have one.

Joe

IMHO those where the last models programmed by ignition.

Those ones and newer needs to be programmed by dealer.

I have fax # but I prefer if you'd send me an email. If you prefer to sand me a fax than my fax # is +48612865163 My email is on the previous post.

THX!

Regards, Rafal

Tried to run today but the VIN # is incorrect please recheck if possible get it off the dashboard or the sticker on the door Glenn

I'm sorry it took me so long but I was on vacation. The VIN number I've gave you is correct for sure.

Again, the number is YV1NK56C2XJ011555

I've checked by my self In Volvo Vadis program and to my it looks like the remote # 9184786 (I've found one brand new on ebay) is an old number for

9184784. In Vadis it's written:

(9184786) My dealer says that in ( ) are shown the old numbers, so it should fit to my car. Do you think it would work for my car? The 9184786 one.
