Dear roncoinc,

May this find you well. Older Volvo wagons (e.g., 940s or 960s) likely aren't very attractive to car thieves.

Thus, I'd not be too upset at a dealer, who supplied a key code via a telephone call. Even so, it would be better if dealers required one to come in, with the vehicle registration, as that would stop most car thieves from getting a key made with the dealer's help.

Radio codes are, frankly, a waste of time outside of a few major cities, wherein there are thieves specializing in stealing radios/CDs, etc.

Even in such places, few such thieves will steal radios from older Volvos. Thus, it would be nice if, on older cars, one could de-activate the code device. That way, one would not need to re-activate the radio, after having disconnected the battery to do other maintenance.

The best deterrent to the theft of cars is that used, long ago, to deter those, who stole horses.

Yours,

spook
