This is why we need to support "Right to Repair" laws so that dealers cannot continue to monopolize service/repair like this.

I would image right-to-repair laws would go a ways to helping issues like this.

The reason the dealer estimate is so high is because they think that they are the only option because they can't imagine a universe where a DBS owner would go to a pick your part and look through multiple Volvos trying to find the parts they need.

Might be worth having a word with an auto locksmith. They often pay for access to factory encryption data so they can program keys for dealers. They may also be able to do an 'all keys lost' reprogram if the keys are still good and are able to be programmed to another module. Probably new keys needed if not.

When I had my V8 Vantage, I'd go into the AM dealer near Seattle and tell them I needed parts to fix thing myself.  I'd always get the eye roll and the "oh, it's you again....".🤣🤣🤣🤣

This video is like an investigative report. You put a lot of effort and research into this project. Looking forward to seeing the next episode

Steel Wings in Ivyland PA has the AMDS.  They do all my service on my DB9
