    I want the feature of unlocking my car from a key fob and was wondering if
    anyone has installed one themself? From what I've seen they look pretty modular.

  4. Hi
    Volvo part no. 9204074, is the Volvo Guard Alarm II. This is an alarm
    ,immobilizer and a remote door lock. It comes with two remotes and a glass
    cross sensor. Very simple you plug in the relais, code the remotes and thats
    it.
    Regards

    What country does that number come from?
    My parts guy here in Florida can't even find that number
    in his catalog or Volvo's online parts list.

    Thanks

    My 94 940s are factory pre-wired for keyless entry and alarms.
    Wiring diagram sent separately.

    The first thing you need is a lock motor. (see SWITCHnMOTOR.JPG) The one with
    the blue wire sheath is the motor.

    The second is a Keyless entry controller. I bought one on eBay for $25. Next
    time I’ll spend $45 and get better security codes.

    The third is .187†wide Quick Disconnect pins from Radio Shack # 64-3132
    They are a tight fit but you can use them in the plugs below.

    Under the dash there are two plugs taped to a harness to the left of the
    steering column. D3 has 4 pins … D2 has 8 pins


    D3 Pin-1 Red Wire .. +12v from fuse 2

    D3 Pin-2 Green/Red .. +12v from fuse 5

    D3 Pin-3 Blu/Red .. +12v from fuse 9 with Ignition sw in RUN position

    D3 Pin-4 Black .. -12v (GROUND)

    D4 Pin-1 Green ... Left Turn Signal

    D4 Pin-2 Blu/Green ... Right Turn Signal

    D4 Pin-3 Brown/Black ... Ground when any door is open

    D4 Pin-4 Yellow/Black ... Lock (ground to lock)

    D4 Pin-5 Green/Black ... Unlock (ground to unlock)

    D4 Pin-7 Brown/pink … To pin-2 of plug D4 Under hood left side

    D4 Pin-8 Greenn/White … To pin-1 of plug D4 Under hood left side

    I assume 7 & 8 are for a siren

    D4 Pin-6 Brown/Orange … Ground from Station Wagon Hatch

    I used D3 1 & 4 for power and ground

    And D2 4 & 5 to operate the locks.

    PROCEDURE

    1. Make sure you have the radio code

    2. Disconnect the battery

    3. Remove panels under the Dash

    4. Find the plugs. They were taped together with masking tape next to the
    steering column above a harness. (See pictures)

    5. Connect to the plugs

    6. Route the antenna wire ( I ran it up to the dash at the A post)

    7. Plug in, connect the battery and test

    Note! If you have not put the new lock motor in yet the remote will only be
    able to do the opposite of where the drivers lock is.

    Exchange the switch on the drivers door lock for a lock motor.

    They look and mount the same. The motor plugs into a two conductor plug
    instead of the three conductor one the switch plugs into. The best way to do
    this is;

    Go to a U-Pick junk yard for a couple lock motors and practice in a junker. I
    think the lock motors were used for several years in 740s and 940s.

    1. With the window UP, take off the door pad. (If you don’t know how let
    me know.)

    2. Take off the latch. (On the end of the door. Two big torque screws.)`

    3. Note the short screw under the latch. Leave it in for now.

    4. Remove the two screws below the latch. They hold the plastic window
    channel.

    5. Find and remove the other window channel screw. It is a sheet metal
    screw near the windowsill. See the picture of the channel. It is at the top.

    6. Reach inside the door and pull the channel down and let it lay in the
    bottom of the door.

    7. Unplug the switch and cut the tie-wrap on the wire. The motor plug is
    taped up about 3†away.

    8. Reach inside the door and disconnect the levers from the lock assembly.
    1 from the key 1 from the exterior handle and one from the interior handle

    9. Remove the small screw that you noted under the latch. The lock
    assembly will now come out.

    10. Swap the switch and motor.

    11. Put the lock assembly back in. Use the little screw under the latch to
    hold it in place

    12. Plug in the motor

    13. Put the door back together.

  7. Hi Don
    I'm from Denmark.
    This number is printed on the box, and on the invoice.
    It might be a special kit for european cars, and I was told this set is for
    740/940/850 models. Hope You'll find something you can use for your car.

    Regards
    Per

    It seems the kit is not available in the US.
    It looks as if I'm going to have to go with aftermarket.

    I would appreciate the photos.

    It bugs me that the car is prewired for the system
    But my local dealer says the parts aren't listed
    in the catalog. Or at least he doesn't know what
    collection of parts would constitute everything I
    would need to simply plug in for the keyless ability...

    I appreciate your help.
