Volvo traditional metal keys with no chip are basic mechanical keys used in older Volvo models before transponder technology became standard. These keys do not require programming and are simply cut to match the vehicle’s ignition and door locks.
Some common Volvo mechanical keys include: VL8, VL9, VL10, VL12, VL14, VL16.
These Volvo models used traditional mechanical keys:
To get a replacement from the dealer, you will need proof of ownership, such as a title or registration, along with a government-issued ID. If the VIN is on record, the dealer can cut a new key. The cost typically ranges from $30 to $100, depending on the dealer.
If the vehicle is too old, has no VIN record, or the ignition was replaced, the dealer may not have the correct key code. In this case, you have two options:
The dealer may replace the ignition system, costing between $300 and $700, including parts and labor.
A locksmith can cut a new key or replace the ignition on-site, with costs ranging from $100 to $250, depending on the service required.
Volvo transponder keys are high-security keys that contain an RFID chip inside the plastic head. This chip communicates with the vehicle’s immobilizer system to allow the engine to start. Without proper programming, the key will turn in the ignition but will not start the car.
Volvo introduced transponder key technology in the late 1990s. By 1999, most Volvo models were equipped with an immobilizer system requiring a programmed transponder key.
To replace a lost transponder key, Volvo dealers require proof of ownership, such as a title or registration, and a government-issued ID. If the VIN is in sync, the dealer can cut and program a new key.
If the ignition was replaced before or the vehicle is too old, the dealer may not have the correct key code. In this case, you have two options:
The dealer may replace the ignition system, costing between $500 and $1,000, including parts and labor.
A locksmith can cut a new key or replace the ignition on-site, with costs ranging from $150 to $400, depending on the service required.
Volvo laser-cut keys, also known as sidewinder keys, have a unique high-security design with a milled groove running down the center. Unlike traditional edge-cut keys, laser-cut keys provide enhanced security and require specialized machines for cutting and programming.
Volvo began incorporating laser-cut key technology in the early 2000s. By 2004, most high-end Volvo models featured laser-cut keys with a transponder chip for added security.
To get a replacement from the dealer, proof of ownership (title or registration) and a government-issued ID are required. If the VIN is on record, the dealer can cut and program a new key. The cost typically ranges from $300 to $600, including key cutting and programming.
If the ignition was replaced or the VIN is not available in the system, the dealer will not have the correct key code. In this case, you have two options:
The dealer may replace the ignition system and provide a new key, costing between $600 and $1,200.
A locksmith can create a new laser-cut key by decoding the ignition or replacing the ignition entirely. The cost ranges from $250 to $500, depending on the service required.
FOBIK (Fob Integrated Key) keys are electronic key fobs that function similarly to traditional keys but require insertion into the ignition slot. Unlike proximity smart keys, FOBIK keys do not support passive entry or push-to-start functionality. They must be inserted into a designated slot to start the vehicle.
Volvo introduced FOBIK keys in the mid-2000s as part of its transition to modern keyless systems. By 2007, several Volvo models had adopted FOBIK keys.
To replace a lost FOBIK key, Volvo dealerships require proof of ownership (title or registration) and a government-issued ID. If the VIN is on record, the dealer can program a new FOBIK key. The cost typically ranges from $300 to $600, including key programming.
FOBIK key systems that fail due to ignition slot malfunctions require an automotive electrician for repairs. Locksmiths typically do not handle push-to-start ignition repairs. Depending on the issue, repair or replacement costs can range from $400 to $1,200.
Volvo smart keys, also known as proximity keys, allow keyless entry and push-to-start ignition. These keys use RFID technology to communicate with the vehicle, enabling remote unlocking and engine start without physically inserting a key.
Volvo introduced smart key technology in the early 2010s as part of its transition to fully keyless systems. By 2016, most Volvo models were equipped with proximity smart keys.
To replace a lost smart key, Volvo dealerships require proof of ownership (title or registration) and a government-issued ID. If the VIN is available, the dealer can program a new key. Pricing typically ranges from $400 to $800, including key cutting and programming.
Smart key push-to-start ignition failures require an automotive electrician for repairs. Locksmiths do not handle push-to-start ignition system replacements. The repair or replacement cost varies between $500 and $1,500, depending on the issue.
Whether you've lost all your keys, need a spare, or simply want the convenience of having an extra set, duplicating your Volvo key can be done in several ways. Depending on your needs, you can buy pre-cut keys online and attempt a DIY programming approach, visit a Volvo dealer or locksmith store, or take advantage of mobile locksmith services that come directly to you. Here’s a breakdown of the options available for Volvo key duplication.
Duplicating a Volvo key can be a cost-effective option if you purchase a pre-cut key or remote online and program it yourself. Some Volvo models allow DIY programming, while others require specialized tools.
For keyless entry remotes, follow the following instructions to program the remote yourself. Older Volvo models may allow manual programming, while newer ones may require professional tools.
Some newer Volvo transponder and smart keys require specialized diagnostic tools for programming. Dealerships typically refuse to program aftermarket keys, so a locksmith is often the best option.
Another option is to visit a Volvo dealership or professional locksmith to duplicate your key. Dealerships have direct access to your vehicle’s key codes, ensuring the key will be properly cut and programmed to work with your vehicle's security system. However, dealerships tend to charge more for this service, with prices ranging from $150 to $500 depending on the key type and model.
Locksmith stores can offer a more affordable alternative. Many locksmiths have the tools and technology to duplicate transponder and smart keys. The costs at locksmith stores typically range from $100 to $400, making it a budget-friendly alternative to visiting a dealership while still ensuring your new key is correctly programmed and functional.
If convenience is your priority, a mobile locksmith service may be the best option. A mobile locksmith can come to your location, whether at home, work, or on the road, and duplicate or program your Volvo key on-site. This service is particularly helpful if you’ve lost all your keys or cannot drive to a dealership or locksmith shop.
Mobile locksmith services typically cost between $150 and $400, depending on the key type and programming requirements. This option saves you the hassle of towing your vehicle or traveling, making it the most convenient choice for key duplication.
