Volvo key systems at a glance

Our Volvo reference currently covers 4 Volvo models and 20 key options held in stock. Because Volvo has changed key platforms several times, the chip and frequency are what decide whether a key works — not the badge on the key. Check both below before ordering.

Which chip do Volvo keys use?

Across the Volvo keys we stock, the chip families that appear most often are 8A. Chips such as ID46, ID47, ID49, 4D83, 8A and 4A are fixed in the key hardware and cannot be reprogrammed, so a blank with the wrong chip family will not program to the vehicle. If you are unsure which one a car uses, send us a photo of the customer key and we will identify it.

• 8A — 2 key options in this reference

Which frequency do Volvo keys use?

The most common frequencies for Volvo in our stock are 434 MHz, 902 MHz, 868 MHz. A key with the wrong frequency will not lock, unlock or start the car, and frequency cannot be changed in software. Where a model was sold in more than one market, confirm the market version before ordering.

Key types we supply for Volvo

Key types in this range: Smart Key, Remote Key, Smart Remote. Smart keys need programming with a compatible tool, while flip keys, remote head keys and transponder blades are usually supplied as blanks for cutting and programming in your own workshop.

Programming Volvo keys

Most Volvo smart and flip keys in this range can be programmed with commonly available equipment such as Xhorse VVDI, KeyDIY KD-X or Autel IM508/IM608, depending on the model year. Some late-model vehicles still require online dealer access, and a small number cannot be added without an existing working key. Tell us which programmer you run and we will tell you which of these keys are realistic jobs for you.

Model years covered

This Volvo range covers 2004-2009, 2008-2016, 2011-2016, 2021-2024. Where a generation split exists (for example Golf 6 versus Golf 7, or Astra J versus Astra K), the model name changes the key — always confirm the generation before ordering.
