Do you mean can you have the existing systems software modified to allow remote starting, or can the car have remote start added to it?
Volvo used to offer this up here as an option on Volvos, but advised against aftermarket systems as they may cause issues with the electrical systems. I have heard of people that have had them added, but don't know how successful they have been.

Check with the dealer to see if it was offered as an option.

If you endeavor — only go with a Volvo solution. All threads on aftermarket solutions seem to end in problems, Volvo immobilized/security design just doesn’t play nice (look at making an extra key without the dealer, near impossible). To quote our esteemed member Abscate:

Remember that in these cars, if you brick your CeM orECM , you have a giant Swedish paperweight until you get those modules cloned to your car.
