2005 volvo s60 bough a spare key at ebay to use only the wireless feature for locking and unlocking the car. can I code the key my self? instructions from ebay seller is to use original key turn ignition on-off 4x in 10 sec. each additional key to press lock or unlock button within 30 sec & that wiill code the extra keys. is this really the way to do it or do I take to the volvo dealer and pay 500$ for extra key(I was quoted 500 dollars believe it or not)

    I just went out to the car and followed seemingly straight forward instructions and of course it did not work, looks like I will have to pay unreasonably high price to have the dealership do it!!!
    According to the dealer's service department, they use their computer to reset the code!

Sounds like the right way. Have you tried it yet?..... Or pay $500 for them to do the exact same thing.

My 2001 Volvo S60 will not unlock with the key. I put the key into the driver's side door lock and the car lights started flashing.The odd thing is the key works to unlock the trunk.

one of two things are going on.
1. The door lock cylinder is worn out needs replacing.
2. It's not recognising the key fob. Try this..
you can use your key to open the trunk ,thankfully! , try and unplug the battery, and then connect the two wires that go to the battery together for about a minute, and then reconnect them both to the battery. It's call a hard restart, and it might fix your problem.
won't mess anything up by doing this.
Hope this helps a little.
