My C70 is a later-model 1998 car with the mechanical timing belt tensioner and whatnot.

I recent had some duplicate keys made and I finally wanted to get a fob for the car. I ordered part number 9166199 (no alarm) from Tasca Volvo (Dealer) giving them my VIN to ensure compatibility and correct fit.

Supposedly you don't need a dealer to program a new 1998 fob, but so far the simple 5-turns, and remote button-press won't program my fob.

Do the later 1998 cars require a dealer to code the fob? If so, what should the service cost me?

However, maybe I've just got the wrong instructions. Any thoughts?
