You will have to remove the old power lock controls and wire up the new ones. Rather than going through all that hassle have you considered just replacing the Volvo remote control?
I don't know a thing about Valiant products but my guess is they sell for $100 at Pep Boys, J.C. Whitney and similar shops. Will they work
- sure. Will they last as long as Volvo equipment - probably not.
You still need a functioning Volvo system, whether there is a remote in the pot or not. Unless the unit receives the unlock signal from either a remote or a key-in-the-door , the immobilzer will remain asleep and you won't be able to start the car.
Get acouple of new remotes and align them to the car. Always some on ebay- just make sure you get ones with the same code on the back. IPD also sell just cases if yours is still working...
Tim..
Thanks for all the responses. Tim, could you tell me who IPD is since i am not familiar with them? i just need the case since my unit still works.
Errr:
Tim. .
If it is only the plastic case that is broken, you may be able to just buy another second hand remote (I got one from the wreckers for $10 for my v70 - it's good going to non volvo wreckers who don't know values) and just pulled it apart and swapped the inner bits over and all good as new. Ebay may sell them also - I don't think that you can sync the new to the old yourself, but just swap the case over. Jeff
