broke key transponder

You could just get a new chip if you can find one. The key itself is still just a piece of steel.

1+,

I already mentioned you need a tow to dealer.

Now, if you can make a new key that works at home, you will be the first to do that and thousands of people here will admire you.

Best solution is to gather about $200 or more for the new key at dealer, not including towing cost.

This is why in this forum, we recommend a spare key as soon as you buy a used Volvo made after 1999.

Many of us did that at home (with help

). DiCE, internet access, Paypal, blank key is all you need.

Yes (diagnostic scanner).

My laptop is not a scanner and i dont have the program you guys are talking about.

You need just DiCE, there are plenty of cheap (not $1500 like original used to be) Chinese clones on ebay.
