Help I have managed to loose both of my keys for my 99 Volvo s70 I was told 500 a key at dealer which is more than what the car is worth lol it has 200000 miles on it and deer damage so a cheaper aftermarket company that can program a key would be nice does anyone have advice tia also will I have to change the door locks after ?

 

Try a local hardware store or a locksmith!

 

The key has a chip that needs to be programmed so the anti theft part will let it crank

 

$500 for one key sounds high. Labor is 1 hour plus software. The key itself isn't that expensive. Ask the dealer how much the key is, how much the software is and what their labor rate is.

 

DId they put chip keys in 1999's? Our 1998 does not have a chip key.

 

Aparemy 99 was the first year of this anti theft mess

 

Yes, 1999 was the first year.

 

Thank you so much for your suggestion, i will definitely go for that option and hire a locksmith.

 

Yes, that sounds high and its more than enough. So, for future you must consider to hire a car locksmith to have one key for you.
