Remote starter not communicating with car

qwertyjjj · Post by **qwertyjjj** » 03 Dec 2019, 04:15

My remote starters are on a separate key fob to the ignition keys. They were working last year but have now stopped. I just replaced the batteries but same problem.
The light on the fobs is working so I suspect the car is not accepting the communication.
Any way to fix this?
Do I have to reprogram the car or is there something else wrong with the receiver?

It's a remote starter fob, not the actual key fob used in the ignition.

I'm actually not sure. It came with the car, probably installed by Volvo but I don't see any Volvo markings on the remote.

Sorry, but not easy to recommend something if there is no info.

There's no generic reset on the car? I've seen examples where you turn the key to 2 and off 5 times then press lock on the remote.

This was actual for old cars and for genuine remote only.

So you're saying I might have a custom receiver. If so, where is the receiver likely located in the car?

Ou, it is interesting question. Need to ask company or guys who installed it there.
