I know no aftermarket solution will ever be the same quality and security of volvo original ones.
The cheapest 2x new fobs I saw would cost me £150 + 2 x£35 for linking fobs with car labout hour + whatever cost of the software to be downloaded from volvo. This would be nearly £300 for new fobs operating in this car. This is a lot for fobs in a 16 years old car. I wondering how an aftermarket fob/receiver like this is linked with a potential operating volvo alarm. Is it completly independent? What would be the drawnbacks if any?
It is wise to have two but why not just get one ? The value and age of the car has nothing to do with it unless you plan to sell it . and if you do , the next owner would want a fob ..
