Key Fob Shell Replacement - Is there a guide out there?
 
Hi,
My fob is falling apart (model 30630065). I've purchased a replacement shell off ebay and I could have sworn there was a guide out there somewhere for this fob type but I can't seem to find one. Has anyone come across such literature?

There is a guide on you tube not for Volvo but I guess they will be similar to others

1/ Drop existing fob on a tiled floor
1b/ make donation to swear jar
2/ pick all the bits up,
3/ Fit into replacment case
3b/ make donation to swear jar
4/ Fit the battery
5/ test at car
5b/ donation to swear jar
6/ Take swear jar to Volvo main dealer, exchange contents for replacement fob and coding to the car

If it's the combined switch bladed key with built in fob I'm pretty sure the whole thing pops apart with a small screwdriver.

Thank you for the morning laugh!

Thank you, Clarkey. I was tempted to do just that. The thing is 1/3 apart anyway. I'm actually surprised that it hasn't popped open on its own. I'm sure it will when it falls to the floor next.

Is it the square fob from Ph1/Ph1.5? Or the triangle fob from Ph2?

Well the good news is that I now know what's inside...
