Alarm Help!

I lost my remote control from my key ring....

Fortunately, my driver's window was down so I have access to the interior, but of course I can't start the engine.

I tried disconnecting the battery in hopes of resetting the alarm, but that doesn't work.

Any ideas on resetting the alarm? I'm at least 75 miles from the nearest Volvo dealership.

Thanks.

Dan

Unlock the driver's door with your key. That should reset the alarm.

I have also reset mine by disconnecting the battery for like 15 minutes.

Lock and unlock several time- at least twice, maybe 3- forget which does it).

Thanks Marco and MadeInJapan.

As luck would have it (still Saint Patrick's week and I'm Irish) , I found my remote in the parking lot. It finally broke (the key ring hole). However, it still works.

I guess I need to get a spare.

In the meantime, I'll now know what to do if I lose it again.

New remote cases are now available for our cars.
Check IPD (They have COLORS )and/or eBay.

Just got one. Nice, very quick fix.

No reprogramming needed!
