2007 Volvo S60 Remote Flip Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy in Bonsall called me on a Tuesday afternoon. He had one working key left on his 2007 Volvo S60, and it was starting to feel loose at the pivot point where the blade folds out. He wanted a spare made before it gave out completely, which is exactly the right call. He had already called a Volvo dealer and gotten a quote that made him sit down. He figured that was just the Volvo tax and started to accept it.

I told him to stay put. I drove out to his place in Bonsall and parked behind the S60 in his driveway.

First thing I did was decode the door lock cylinder so I could cut an accurate blade without relying solely on the worn original. I read the wafer positions and noted them down, then cut the new blade on my machine. Then I connected to the vehicle through the diagnostic port and ran the enrollment for both the transponder and the remote. On these P2-generation Volvos, those are two distinct steps and I treat them that way. Each button, each function, tested before I closed anything up.

He watched the whole thing from about three feet away and kept asking good questions. When I handed him the finished key and he pressed the lock button and heard it click, he just nodded slowly like he was recalculating something in his head.

He never left the driveway. Saved a good chunk compared to what the dealer quoted, and that quote did not even include getting the car there.
