This step-by-step guide is most likely to help you if your Car Key works fine to start and drive your vehicle but the buttons on your Remote Fob have stopped working. If that’s the case, you may well be able to use the instructions to recreate the “bond” between remote central locking and your car. You should also try replacing the battery.

However, it probably won’t help you if your Car Key no longer starts the Car or if you have a new Car Key. If that’s the case, it’s simply a problem you cannot solve by yourself. All Car Keys made since 1995 need a transponder chip (normally made of clear glass and buried in the plastic part of the key) to be programmed into the vehicle they drive. Then, whenever the ignition is turned, the Engine Control Unit will recognise the Car Key as valid and allow the engine to fire into action. It also won’t help if your Remote Volvo Car

Key fob has been physically damaged or smashed, particularly if the internal circuit board is broken.

AutoKey Squad Volvo Car Key Specialist Francois Doumen explains: “This advice will work to programme a Remote Fob for a wide array of Volvo vehicles. Some of the very latest remotes work on a new programming system, but whatever your model of Volvo, this procedure is well worth a try before you incur the cost of a Volvo Car Key Specialist (for example

AutoKey Squad ). I used it most recently only last week to assist a farmer in

Essex who was locked out.”
