Hi-

I got my 1997 965 last May, with one remote fob. Fortunately the car came with it's owner's manual. Here are the words about programming the remote:

New transmitters (max.4) must be programmed to function with your alarm system. To do this:

Make sure all doors, hood, trunk/tailgate are closed.

Turn the ignition on and off 5 times within 10 seconds.
..On the fifth try, leave the ignition on.

Press either button on the transmitter.

NOTE: the first transmitter must be programmed within 15 seconds, the others within 10 second intervals. When the alarm system accepts the codes from each transmitter, the LED on the dash will glow steady for several seconds.

Switch the ignition off and test the transmitter(s).

Since using the remote also sets up tha alarm system, you should know a little about that, too. We managed to set the system off ourselves several times. Embarassing.

If your 960 has the alarm system, there whould be a little thing on the right side dash speaker grille that holds a red LED. The LED will blink when tha alarm it set.

Volvo recommends that you not give the remote fob to a valet parking attandant. The Service key (as oppposed to Master key) will operate the front door locks and the ignition. The master key operates those plus all the other locks. If you did not get enough keys or need a service key, I think you have to order them through a Volvo dealer, I did. A second master key was $27 and took 2 weeks, so order early! I had to provide proof of ownership, plus the VIN.

Volvo recommends that you not use the treansmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. On cars equipped with an alarm, the alarm would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. (Embarassing)

Our 965 is the first car we have owned with either remote locking or an alarm system. All this stuff was new to us, but you may have experience with such a system. If so, some of what I say may seem condescending, sorry about that.

Good Luck,

Bob
