Josh, I am pretty sure that the "gameboy" Volvo Scan Tool is required to program your car's ECU to recognize a key fob. When using the VST, the tech will need a PIN for your car as well. The PIN is available, I believe to the Volvo dealers based on your car's VIN, so no problem there. I bought my '98 S70 new and upon delivery I the dealer had only one fob. At my request they gave me a second one and programmed it right there in front of me using the VST. They did need the PIN, but they had it right there since the car was being sold by them, but I believe any Volvo dealer can obtain the pin from Volvo.

Hope that helps, $15 for the fob is cheap, but the dealer will probably charge you one hour's worth of labor to get it to work with your car.


Good luck and enjoy the car!
