Hello all, i just purchased a 98 V70 with 129,000 km on the clock. Bought it from a small used car dealer. They only had 1 key, no key fob also missing the radio code. All is fine as I have 1 key and the radio is working, what happens when I change the battery....
Can anyone tell me where and how to get the remote key fob, with programing, extra keys and the radio code.. I have been trying to find the name of the last owner, but am having difficulty with that as well..
Any suggestions would be great

Padrea

    Radio code, must go to dealer V70-XC70 1998

    For the radio code, you have to go to the dealer and show proof that you are the owner. If you are lucky, the previous owner may have written the radio code in the owner's manual or in one of the documents that came with the car with new. I hope they are in the glove box.

    Time to rant and rave: where in the cr%p are the 2 extra keys you should have and where are the fobs? What do people do with these things? People buy a $30,000 or $40,000 item and promptly start losing parts of their purchase? No wonder so many used cars look like they slipped way down the food chain to bottom feeders.

    keys can be done at dealers for big $$$ and sometimes local locksmiths can do keys for less $$$. there is a local shop that does transponder keys where i live.

    good luck.

    For the 98MY, you will have to acquire a remote from either your Volvo dealer or an on line seller [ebay has a lot of them] but you will have to have it programmed at the dealer.

    As for the radio code, take the VIN and proof of ownership to your dealer; they should be able to retrieve the radio code.
