But the key will not start the car as it will either not have the immobiliser transponder fitted, or the transponder fitted will not be recognised.

Only Volvo can add new transponder codes to the vehicles immobiliser system

The locksmith can cut a key that works in the mechanical locks, but cannot program the vehicle to accept the new transponder code.
