Replacement Keys for Volvo 850

[globetrotterxl]

Hi all

May I ask if anyone could recommend a place to copy or get a new replacement key for a Volvo 850?

Asked quite a number of locksmiths who said they can't do it, got desperate rang the local dealer even them couldn't do it. It's interesting but the only key I have is also a copy in the first place.

Thanks

I do need a copy of the ket so a copy of a chip is also needed. But thank you for the suggestion anyway.

Replacement keys have been discussed over and over here but usually for the V70 where Volvo upgraded the security coding system around 1998-99 which makes copying chips not possible. I managed to get a mechanical copy of my V70 key from Timpsons but you have to explain to them that you understand it won't have a chip so it won't start the car and then he had to order the blank in especially, it will get you in the door and take the steering lock off so you can move the car in an emergency.
The illicit and slightly unsecure method then is to get two mechanical copies to use and tape the original key inside the steering column cowling for the chip to be picked up by the immobiliser.
