Lost Keys

Post by laddyboy »

Hey guys, still no luck in locating the key to my 99 S80 t6.
I am told by the dealer that in order to have the key replaced, I need to have the car shipped to them from the Bahamas ( lots of money :( ). This would mean shipping the car there have it repaired and shipping back. I heard somewhere that it may be more cost effective to have a volvo tech fly to me , at my expense of course and carry out the necessary programming. This will cut the cost some 50-70 %. Still no luck.
My question is, can i purchase a wrecked 99-02 s80 t6, transfer the key switch, computer etc to my vehicle and have it work properly? My cars transmission needs some work and i was planning in swapping the trannys, that's why i thought about taking this route. At the same time i can keep the wrecked vehicle for spare parts.
As always your suggestions are appreciated.
