I'd make my own transmitter and receiver, but I have no background in electronics. Any suggestions?

Many keyless entry systems have an extra button that triggers an auxiliary function. It can be used for anything from turning the defroster on to popping the trunk. That's what you would use to do your Volvo emulation.
