If this works for my Volvo PV800 Series, I owe you big time.

Anyone got tips on key code retrieval for a Volvo PV800 Series?

Will this work for older Volvo PV800 Seriess? Mine's a 2009.

Hope I’m not too late to try this on my Volvo PV800 Series.

Security Systems
This means your car's immobilizer system can't read the key's transponder. Causes: dead key battery, damaged transponder chip, faulty car antenna ring around ignition, or system needs resetting. Try replacing the battery first.
Key Programming
Professional key programming requires: diagnostic tools to access the immobilizer system, key code software, transponder programmers, and often proprietary manufacturer equipment. Some locksmiths and all dealers have these tools.
Key Tip: Some locksmiths offer mobile key programming services
Key Fact: Many cars can store up to 8 different key codes in memory
