FFTK, fun facts to know. European law states that all parked cars must be locked, or the police can ticket the car. That is why there is a flashing light on the dash or rearview mirror(BMW). If the light is off, you get a ticket.
On the self programming 850s, turning the key on 5 times will allow programming. For 1998+ cars, the dealer (VADIS) has a program external to the car to add remotes. My 1998 was in the same boat, I wanted to add a second remote. I tried the 850 trick and then asked the people at Volvo, dealer only.
I am surprised that your ignition key is different, must be from a junked car. A factory supplied switch comes with a key and is the same as the original.
