Volvo S60 2004 remote key fob problem ...

no not rechargable, I checked the spec 3.0 volt. I am now going to get a mate who is an electrician to see if the fobs have a short and are draining the new batterys. will let you know

Good luck.
The rechargeable batteries of the BMW are also 3V by the way.

As a last resort, with the key at the door lock/unlock car 3x in a row.

This will reset the UEM wich controls the locking/security system in the car. If that fails you probably need a new fob from the dealer.

Just had this problem on my wifes 2002 S60 and fixed it. (it consistantly took 3 button pushes for door lock and unlock)

What didn't work for me: Door lock/unlock 3 times; battery disconnect for 30 seconds, hood slam; new battery in remote; and, getting really close to windshield.
What worked: tapping the unlock about 10-15 times really fast and doing same with the lock button. No kidding. I don't understand either.

So can you use the Vida/Dice utility to program a fob? If so where at? I bought an 03 S60 with no fob, I'd like to buy a used one and program it with the Vida/Dice but not sure how.

I also changed battery in remote 2003 S60, cannot get it to work, dismantled it and cleaned it, put back in old battery which was working fine but that does not work either.

I'd like to hear about this too, as I have only two fobs, and would like one "for the garage" where we park the car.
