How Our Volvo Key Solutions Work
We combine years of experience with specialist Volvo diagnostics to provide main dealer-level accuracy without the delays.
- Non-destructive entry: Wherever possible, we use advanced lock picking and air wedge techniques to open your Volvo without damage. In rare cases where drilling or component removal is unavoidable (for example, a severely damaged lock), we’ll explain the issue and agree the next steps before we proceed.
- Volvo key identification: We identify the exact key type (standard transponder, remote fob, or smart/proximity) and check immobiliser system compatibility.
- Car key cutting and coding: Using precision cutting equipment and dealer-level programming tools, we produce and code new Volvo keys on-site. For many models, we use OBD2 programming. For certain security systems or all-keys-lost scenarios, we can perform EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming where appropriate.
- Fault diagnostics and repair: If your key fob has stopped working, we test the fob, battery, and vehicle’s antenna/receiver. We offer key fob repair, dead battery replacement, and remote central locking troubleshooting to resolve issues efficiently.
- Ignition and lock work: If your key won’t turn, or the ignition feels worn, we can repair or replace the ignition barrel and rekey it to match your existing key, so you don’t end up with different keys for the doors and ignition.
Need a second key? We also offer spare keys and duplication for most Volvo models, including high-security laser cut keys.

Volvo Key Types We Handle
- Standard Volvo transponder keys (chipped)
- Remote flip keys and remote fobs
- Smart keys and proximity keys for push-button start
- High-security laser cut keys
- Emergency key blades for smart fobs
Technologies and methods we use:
- OBD2 key programming where supported
- EEPROM key programming for specific immobiliser systems
- ECU/immobiliser programming and synchronisation
- Key fob replacement and repair
- Key blade replacement and flip key repair
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser to confirm it’s authorised. Without correct programming, the engine won’t start even if the blade turns in the lock. Our tools and training ensure your new Volvo key is recognised and secure.

FAQs: Volvo Keys and Locks
Can you make a Volvo key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your vehicle using specialist decoding tools and program it to your immobiliser. This is a common “all-keys-lost” service. If you’ve lost your only key, see our guidance on lost or stolen car keys.
Will you damage my Volvo when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. For the vast majority of Volvo lockouts, we gain access without damage. If a rare exception is necessary due to a damaged lock or security feature, we’ll discuss it with you before any work.
My Volvo says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
Try replacing the fob battery and hold the fob near the designated backup start location (often detailed in your owner’s manual). If it still won’t detect, the fob may need reprogramming or repair. Our car key programming service can resolve this on-site.
How long does Volvo key replacement take?
Many standard and remote keys can be cut and programmed the same visit. Smart/proximity keys or complex immobiliser issues may take longer, especially in all-keys-lost situations, but we’ll explain timelines before we start.
Can you supply a spare Volvo smart key?
Yes, we provide spare Volvo keys—including smart/proximity keys—so you’ve always got a backup. We’ll cut and program it, then test remote locking and push-to-start.
What if my Volvo key snapped in the ignition?
Don’t try to force it out. We offer broken key extraction and can repair or replace the ignition if it’s damaged. For more detail, see broken car key help or our page on car lock and ignition issues.
