How the Volvo immobiliser works
CEM (central electronic module) manages the immobiliser. Later XC40 and XC60 use proximity keys with the CEM tightly involved in programming.
Can you cut a Volvo key with none left?
Possible on most, though CEM work takes longer than a comparable Ford or Vauxhall.
What usually goes wrong on a Volvo
- Proximity fobs failing with age
- Worn blades on older V40
- Keys de-synchronised after battery work
Why Volvo keys are priced where they areAbove base. CEM programming is more time-consuming and Volvo blanks cost more.
