Information: - What Is It?

Robbie34 · Dec 1st, 2018, 14:15

I am hoping that someone can help me in identifying an item that I was given when I collected my new V60 earlier this week.

I have read and re-read the owner's manual but it has not been mentioned. The item is a small black, oblong, about two inches long, three quarters of an inch wide, and about three sixteenths of an inch thick. It has VOLVO printed on one side and some hieroglyphics on the reverse. At one end it has a slot about half an inch wide that looks like an USB port, and on either side of that, on the thick side are two small holes that look like micro usb slots.

Hope I have described this properly.

OK... daft question

Have you asked the supplier? It might be something 'special' of heirs?

The only thing i could think of with a usb one one side and micro on the other was a powerbank. So i googled it and this came up.https://youla.ru/moskva/ehlektronika...a449a5675462b2 Some sort of Bluetooth adapter maybe?

I translated that from Russian to English and if it's the same thing there should be a speaker as well.

After much searching I have found out what it is. Pretty much useless if it be known. There are no buttons on it. I assume that if I keep it in my pocket I can open the car and start it. However, there are no means of locking the car with it.

Button-less key (Key Tag)
For cars equipped with keyless locking and
unlocking*, a slightly smaller, lighter and buttonless
key (Key Tag) is supplied. It works the same
way as the normal remote control key when it
comes to keyless starting and locking and
unlocking. The key is waterproof to a depth of
approx. 10 metres (30 feet) for up to 60 minutes.
It has no detachable key blade and the battery cannot be replaced.

I should have made myself clearer. They only look like ports, but are not.
