    Hi there !! quick question about remote keyfob for a 2001 V70, I recently
    acquired a nice 2001 V70 to replace my current 2000 V70, but it came with
    only 1 remote. I have seen some remotes for sale on ebay, but read
    somewhere that a "Code" unique to the remote is required for the dealer to
    program it to the vehicle. Is there any truth to that, or as long as they
    have the same FCC code, the dealer would be able to re-program them to my
    car?

    Thanks

    No the remote needs a long code & a short code & a software download to
    program the remote to the car

    So, I am stuck with the dealer, since all the second hand remotes do not
    come with the code, they would be useless then right?

    Thanks
