Default Key Fob Replacement

My wife washed out key fob. I replaced the battery but it still doesn't work. Volvo wants $600 to replace it. Is there any other route?

Generally - no - sorry

What year and model? There might be other options.

2019 s60. I'm new to the forum. I see that there are lots of threads on how expensive volvo key fobs are. What a racket. I wish there was such a thing as a repair after water damage, but it appears there isn't.

Thanks.

Many brands of cars use expensive keys. People want convenience for the $50-$75k you spend on the car. Walk up to the car, pull the door handle to unlock, and push the button to start - without having to get the key out of your pocket -
