How to Unlock the Hidden Key Blade The keyfobs of Volvo have evolved in recent years. They're more than just a remote for locking and starting your car; they can also shut your windows, and give you a boost in an emergency. To unlock the full potential of your key fob, first you will need to learn how to use it. Your key fob comes with a transponder, which has been programmed to work with your Volvo. When you insert it into the ignition barrel an antenna reads the code and compares it to the one stored in your vehicle's start inhibitor module. If the codes don't match, your vehicle will not start. This is a crucial security measure to prevent your Volvo from starting if the wrong key is used. If you lose your key, you will need to take it to a dealer to get it replaced, and your car reset. This procedure can take up to 10 working days and cost you a lot of money. Fortunately, there is an option to cut down on some of the costs by programming the system at home. You can find the required information in the owner's manual or on the internet. Take off the logo and non-logo covers and lay your key fob on an uncluttered surface. Locate the grey button on the right side of the fob and push it down. The cover will then be opened to reveal the CR2032 3V power source.
