Default bought a keyless remote but need to now how to configure

hello there, few months ago i bought a keyless remote(amazon)for my s40,it came with a code maybe its a code i need to use to configure, is there a way i can do it myself? by the way, i only have one car key, they say the keys come with digital digits, at a local shop they ran the key to find the digits and they told me it didnt have, so i am a lil disapointed, either they were lost or my volvo key, because of the 00' model they didnt used digital digits, meaning that to make a copy i should take to a small key copy shop...another thing, my car was manufactured at "netherlands" hmmm...what do u people know about troubles from models being manufactured there, lemons and a series of conflicts..
oh well, i ll appreciate ur response


thnx

Remote controls for this model/year can only be programmed using Volvo diagnostic equipment.

my car was manufactured at "netherlands" hmmm
Why should that make it a lemon? In 1999, when your car may have been made, the Netherlands plant produced 132,000 vehicles. This total was only surpassed by the Belgian plant at Ghent which turned out 151,350.
