XC90 Replacement Keys

I don't think so, except maybe by going to an overseas dealer (some of them are a LOT cheaper), but I've never been clear on whether they will do it for an A...

Hi guys

I lost one set of my 2013 Volvo XC60 key/fob over the weekend and would ideally like a replacement. Any ideas on the best way to go about this? I contacted Volvo and its going to set me back $710.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Joel

Get a new key from Berry Motor Group and have a Volvo dealer code it. I did this for my V50, and a colleague did it recently for a 2010(?) XC 60. I think hers was a bit over $400 for key and coding

You could try prvlocksmiths.com.au/ if in sydney

I really should sort my keys also. Look at this ridiculous monster..

jamesinc

Surely some epoxy will sort that out

I actually have a couple of new fob cases which includes the new spring mech.. Need to do the swap over.

kyril

Yeah I need a new case as the spring locking mechanism is shot in both mine. The bloody fob is ridiculously large without the actual key always out!

bigal

wonder if we can downsize to a newer and smaller fob. @Philia_Bear this possible?

I had a key cut for a 2004 XC90 for $57 at a locksmith in Port Lincoln. The key
opens doors but won’t start the car, in fact I was advised not to ever put the key in the ignition as it may cause major drama. You could lock the ignition key in the car and everyone have a door key.

I bought the black C70 through Mark at BMG, it only came with one set of keys.

As I flew down to Melbourne and drove it back to Wollongong, got it sorted up here.

After contacting every auto locksmith specialist story is this.

They can only programe Volvo truck keys which are chip number 46, Volvo cars keys are chip number 44.

Contacted Alan Mckay Volvo at Moss Vale, I've known them for over 20yrs, they sold me genuine volvo chipped key for about $180, I bought a genuine volvo 3 button remote privately $30.

Took car, key & remote up to dealership in Moss Vale over two separate occasions and got them programmed.
Had to pay software costs & labour.
Total cost all up $420.

Cheaper than calling road side assistance and tray top truck if I loose the keys.

Unfortunately there are no options as far as an ignition key goes as the keys chip talks to the cars immobilizer box and must be programed to the same frequency to be able to start the car.

If your just after the key my lock smith can clone it and it will start the car but cost is $160 or buy all the parts required from TASCA.com and take it to your dealer so you don't get ripped off buying a key from them

Wow, lots of different confusing stories here, Ive emailed a bunch of locksmiths and NONE have replied. I have a new genuine Volvo key (from Tasca) i want to have as a spare so i have 2 (sets) keys.

1.I believe if i go to a dealer they can programme the new key but the old original key is then useless..is this true.

2.If i find someone to clone my original key, i will have 2 (sets) of usable working keys.

What @butch said , he is at a Volvo shop and does this all the time for customers.

DarylGama

Thanks i spoke to a Volvo tech, he said they can add a new key to my car and the old key will still work as a spare. I was confused as i read somewhere you cannot add keys, they need a new code and the old key wont work. I will find out the truth in a few weeks....
