I lost my immobiliser remote for my Volvo 740 HP and I was told it is supposed to have a factory switch under the dash to turn it off, just like on the Volvo 740 turbo ? , anyway I was smart enough to turn the immobiliser on before I lost the remote :) , so unfortunately I can't start my car now , and the hazard lights come on when i try too, then I was given a factory remote that looks exactly the same, is their anyway to program that in by any chance, thanks.

My advice - don't lose your keys :-P
Seriously tho, is this a problem
@jonbot could assist with?

haha, ill try not to, although i do have three sets of keys, unfortunately only one immobilizer though, i went down to a shop with a immobilizer from another car today, that seems to be working ok at the moment, but no sound comes on when the alarm goes off, is that normal ? any advice would be a help, thanks -Darcy

is their a button or some sort of connection for an car alarm, ive seen volvo 740s with alarms, im just unsure if their factory ?

Not a relay or something in the dash you've gotta pull to disable? The 850 keyless entry programming is turn key from off to on 5 times in 10 seconds and then hit the remote button and it's programmed.

So is it the big button that I have to push 5 times, then the small one @dan

Either or (lock or unlock). Perhaps find a 740 manual on the internets. Should have the procedure in that if you haven't already got one

Never got the reprogram to work on 850 or x70 remotes :(

Yeah, me either. I ripped apart the dash a few weekends ago and discovered the security relay was swapped with a bypass yet everything else was there. Going to crack open the bypass and install an aftermarket immobiliser me thinks soon. In the mean time, I'll put up 3 remotes I've gathered in my travels in the for sale section since I no longer have a use for any.

Ok cool, thanks for the advice @dan, ill see what I can do, I'm going to put a high security car alarm into it soon I'm hoping, ill also see if the installers can put a new unit in as well
