Just got off the line with the Volvo parts folks, who confirmed that it will be well over $100 to cut a new key and "download" the codes.
Is there any way to cut the chip out of the ignition circit, etc, so that a downloaad is not necessary? (OK, I know it is a security feature...but my Sig Sauer doesn't have a computer chip in it either.) If there is a way to bypass the need for a chip/download, will that also kill the utility of the remote opener? TIA
