keyless remote for the volvo 850

850 keyless entry

Here's a great post on how to extend the range of your keyless remote system. Written by a 9 series owner, applicable to 850s.

A discussion thread on how keyless remote systems (the receiver part) tend to degenerate over time.

(July 2002; my 850 has started doing this, intermittently, though it is OK at the moment. After coming back from

holidays and finding a weakened battery which had to be jump started a couple of times, the problem started.

The battery was replaced but the problem with the keyless remote seems to be persisting... Anyone out there

know what is actually going on with the keyless remote systems and whether jump start voltage surges might have

something to do with it???)

If you have any experiences, facts, hints comments or data that you think might be useful on the site, please

and I will post it, with an acknowledgement of your contribution (if you so wish).
