New fob required

puddlejumper · Oct 29th, 2018, 18:44

Hi guys
Can anyone tell me how to get a new fob for my Volvo 850? I only have one for the car and think a spare might be useful

Thanks
Doug

Hi Doug, you can purchase a fob from ebay quite cheaply but you will need to take it to a main dealer together with your car to be programmed . I think they charge about £150.00. jack

Or you can get a second hand fob from a breaker car and code it to your car yourself in 10 seconds.

Some fobs won't be compatible for some reason. But when you program a new fob, you will also have to program your old one too. Otherwise the new one will work and not the old one.

eBay. There usually turn up. It expect to pay around £20 to £30 for one

I've found some on eBay but they have different MHz quoted. How do I know which one is compatible with my motor??
Thanks
