Bryan, I knew it must be the receiver after thej new fobs didn't improve performance. I can tell you the part number (when I get my paperwork by mail from the dealer) and you can try and see how much it costs at volvoparts.com or something. It may be worth doing yourself. Not a complicated job, just tedious (lots of screws!). My question is why do these things go bad with age? It is just a piece of electronic equipment, right?

When you say you added a wire to the antena, do you mean on the receiver? What model car is yours?

On the S70 it is an annoying problem since there is only one key cylinder - on the driver's side and opening the car from the passenger side can only be accomplished by a remote. When I am parked on the right side of the street, I really want to be able to open the car from the passenger side to let my 5 year old in without having to step onto the road.

Good luck and lut us know what you decide to do.
