I have read from many sites that the volvo sucks for remote starters, and I would like to install one, but so many people say the problems they encounter are not worth it...I think I may just bag the idea, unless there is a viable solution.

I do not believe there is a remote start kit. The immobolizer system on all Volvo's is pretty complicated. So without the correct key being in the ignition switch to read off the key code, it will not start. So yes, it is not worth the time and effort?
