we have a 2005 S40. they key will not release from the ignition. The immobilizer has been activated. Apparantly the spare key was had fallen under the drivers seat undetected. So I believe the immobilizer was triggerred because the 2 keys were 2 close together. The car will start and turn off but the key is locked in the ignition. Anyone know how to reset the immobilizer so we can get the key out of the ignition?

I bought my Metra dash/wiring harness on ebay from a fellow who had wrecked his Volvo; paid $30 for the whole thing and it matches the color perfectly. Ordered a Pioneer aftermarket radio with aux input for $48 used from Cowboom.com (there stuff is mostly Best Buy returns but they do warranty against DOA).
I just couldn't find my preset stations using that stupid **** on the factory radio. It drove me nuts.![EEK!](https://volvoforums.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Oh yeah, one more thought on the dash adapter: there's enough empty space on the dash adapter to install a 60mm gauge. I found a used VDO/Volvo brand vacuum gauge on ebay for $5 and it looks cool. Sorry that I don't have a pic.
