I'm a member of the "SwedeSpeed" forum and some people on there were talking about the same thing:

You may want to check out this place:

Volvo XC60 and XC90 Remote Start – SKSXC | Mid City Engineering Store

But it only works for certain "years" and the install involves splicing into some wires.

We looked into this for my wife's 2016 XC90, but in the end, we decided to just pay the $200 because we like that the "On Call" service also includes the "SOS" function in case of an emergency, as well as "over the air" updates for apps.. you lose that if you let your On-Call subscription expire..

If you want to save a bit of money, you can get $20 off by going through Steingold Volvo:

Volvo Cars App Subscription Renewals | Steingold Volvo Cars | Steingold Volvo Cars

I also found that if I called Volvo Customer Support, or chatted with them in the App, they would sometimes provide a discount just for asking.. or even try for a multi-year discount...

Good luck, and hope this helps.
