Help: Disarming S70 Alarm
Hey Volvo Fans,
We've got a 1999 S70 that appears to have a factory alarm: there's a keyless entry fob that says Volvo on the reverse side, and a blinking red light on the steering console. I'm now down to 1 fob, that one isn't in the best condition, and they cost $125 to replace. Is there a means for disarming the alarm system without disabling the car?
Thanks for your insightful responses,
Chris

if the fob works, there shouldn't be any problem with just keeping that one. i have two but i only ever use one. if the case is cracked, look on ipd, they have a new case (without the buttons) for around 25-30 dollars. if you do happen to lose the fob, using the key in the door handle will arm/disarm the alarm system as well as unlock all of the doors.

I'm sorry, I didn't explain my dilemma clearly enough: I want to completely uninstall the factory alarm system, I don't want it. Using just the key does not disarm the alarm (I just double checked: it neither disarms it when it's unlocked, nor does it disarm it when it's armed), I've only got 1 fob, it is falling into dangerous disrepair, and there are 2 of us that use the car. It would simply be more convenient to not have the alarm.
Thanks,
Chris
