How can I program my keyless remote for a Volvo S60 2004 without taking it to the dealer.

You can't program a Volvo S40 keyless entry remote. The module requires a dealer tool for synchronization. If your remote isn't working, try replacing the battery. If that doesn't help, contact a Volvo dealer to set up an appointment to have the remote programmed. The instructions previously published on this page were inaccurate, according to several readers. Please contact The Remote Guy if you know how to program the S40 remote.

This one is tricky I could be the way the keyless entry was programmed into the settings on the car this one is tricky they could be the way the keyless entry was programmed into the settings on the car

I have programmed my 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix remotes without going to dealer. Cadilac dealer could not for some reason, but I was able to. I don't know if your Olds is similar.

the remote to my volvo 2002 s60 stopped working and i took it to a regular auto repair shop, and the guy reprogrammed it for me. i was fortunate that he new how. so all this talk about it cant be done, and that you must take it to the dealer is a bunch of bull....

must take FOBs to dealer for programming.... there is no other way and it's cheap (you can take any number of FOBs and it's still a flat rate (~$40)

i think so when you program a new remote it comes blank.you are not programing the remote you are programmikg the car

Unfortunately there is not an easy answer for this. Volvo remotes are difficult to program and most mechanics and / or locksmiths won't touch them.

My company does sell these remotes, but like I said above, it is difficult to find anyone to program them. If you take it to the dealer, they will want you to purchase the keyless entry remote from them, and of course charge you a huge fee!

If you can find a locksmith or mechanic in your area to program a keyless entry remote for your Volvo I would suggest purchasing the remote online and save some cash. https://www.keylessentryremotefob.com/Volvo-Key-Fob-Remote-Replacements-s/1855.htm

Do not circumvent the process. Take all your FOBs to a Pontiac/GM dealer. Pay the $40ish to get it all done and walk away with officially programmed FOBs. There is no other way to do this unless you have the highly expensive scan tools they use. Just bite the bullet

hi, i hope this helps..as far as the tire monitor, it might solve it, not likely...and if your keyless remote is not programmed to your car, it will need to be, however there are alot of independent shops that will have the interface computers needed to help ya and cheaper..

You car has an integrated key and remote.

There is a software that needs to be downloaded to the car. When the remote is purchased at the dealer it comes in a plastic package. That plastic package has a sticker on it. The sticker contains id codes.

There are two codes one is 16 digits/letters and the second one is 8 digits/letters.

Without this sticker the dealership can not program the remote/key to the car. If you buy a key elsewhere, make sure it has the codes included.

Unfortunately you cannot program a remote yourself.
