It seems volvo has no viable "kit" for keyless entry on my 1995 940 (4 door,
nonturbo).

So, I'm looking for recommendations and/or experiences with after-market
kits. I've found them on the web for around $50-60 US.
I've never installed one but, I'm not too daunted by that. I installed
a stereo system that was HUGE! And, it turned out great.

TIA
Don

IPDUSA.com has a kit for Volvo's. The cheapo ebay ones don't come with the
extra door actuator that you need.

The 94 940 is prewired for keyless entry. There are two connectors under the
dash above the break pedal taped up with masking tape and one in the door
for the lock motor.
All you need is the remote controler and a lockmotor and linkage from an
older 740 drivers side rear door (see your local "U Pic" junk yard). I
bought a "Generic" remote on eBay for less than $50. I found some pins from
Radio shack that fit the plugs.

Thanks for the info!
Sounds like a snap.

Is there a way that I can tell which side of the car the lockmotor comes from
if it is already pulled when I get to the salvage yard?

I called about this kit. I was told it doesn't work for the 1995 940.
So I was back to square one.
