V50 Key advice
Hi all, I'm new to V50 pages of this forum but semi-regular on the 850 / V70 section.
Looking for some assistance please. Just bought a '08 V50 D5 SE Lux with 97k on the clock. Came with 2 keys, 1 working perfectly, one chewed by the previous owners dog. I bought a replacement case from Ebay and transfered the PCB & battery. It locks/unlocks the car perfectly, however, when I tried to start the car, it wouldn't turn over & the message on the dash display says key not recognised. My question are; 1. Presumably the damaged case has some sort coding which the car recognises? 2. I'm assuming the car & key need to go to Volvo to be programmed? 3. Any idea of the cost? Thanks, Gerry

GMC -I can suspect D5 is the same as T5 for keys etc (almost impossible to get them coded elswhere then dealership network) so also be prepared for them to say "sorry, we wont code YOUR key, need to order new one" as just like Clan said, it needs to be blank new one with code card. On a sidenote - is the old chewn key still intact in the RFid transponder section? it is possible to take the "blade" apart and take RFid chip out, providing its not damaged and that you know what you are doing, otherwise also possible to have it done in auto-key specialised shops, cost about 40-50e to transfer it to blank blade.

on a sidenote - T5/D5 pay premium for being actual Volvo not Ford/PSA as you can easily replicate 1.6D key and have the car started by your frioendly locksmith where on T5 he gives up after an hour :P

yea, thats fair enough - I got a bit surprised seeing you can start up a 1.6D that was deadlocked with lost key using good auto-locksmith, but also a bit relieved when he couldnt do the same with mine ;P
