Finally, we have joined the modern Volvo era, and with it, keyless entry.

I think I made my first mistake though. I did some basic research on Brickboard, Swedespeed, etc...and intially determined that I could get an additional key fob, keyless entry control, from eBay and reprogram it myself. Bought one off eBay...$15.00....

WRONG! Only true for pre-98 850/s70 variants...

I am also reading that the reprogramming will require a Volvo Scan Tool..and that maybe I shouldn't have bought the eBay fob because some sort of PIN is required in addition?

Can anyone lay out the whole procedure for a reprogram (incl. approximate costs)? I have one working fob that came with the car from the previous owner and one eBay fob. The car is a 1998 s70 GLT.

Thanks,

Josh
