It turns out you can remove the keyfob from the car with running engine, but you can not lock the car. So WTF?
I'm based in Ireland for example and have contacted all the main Volvo dealers. When reading the Volvo Accessory portal, Ireland is not among the exempted countries, but the dealers are all telling me the ERS accessory is not available for my car.
So fare play to you for sharing the steps. I was going to attempt the same approach anyway, but now it would be even easier.

To the OP, well done sir!
Nothing is quite as satisfying as 'sticking it to the man'!

Where there is a will, there's a way.

To the po-faced arguing about laws and insurance, well I think its illegal to speed, those without sin, cast the first stone.

The 90 series (and perhaps the new 60) do have ERS capability in the UK if fitted with VOC so they must have some way round the legal/insurance stuff.
