2020 Volvo S60 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A homeowner in East Area 2 in Santa Paula called on a Sunday morning. He was parked inside a gated property, the tow company had already turned around after the HOA wouldn't wave them through, and he had somewhere to be.

The S60 was sitting in the driveway running fine the night before. By morning the smart key was giving him nothing. The car would not detect the fob at all, and the backup he thought he had turned out to be a valet key from the previous owner that did not match the current vehicle security enrollment. Two fobs, neither working. That's a different problem than a dead battery.

I drove into Santa Paula, got waved through by a neighbor who was heading out, and walked up to the car with my bag. No tow, no shop, no waiting on a dealer parts order that would take the better part of two weeks to arrive.

I connected through the OBD port, pulled the module data, and worked through the authorization and key-registration process on site. Built the new fob, got it enrolled, tested every button, and confirmed the car detected it consistently at normal approach distance. The emergency insert key got cut to the vehicle and seated inside the fob housing where it belongs.

The whole thing was done before his neighbor had even finished washing a car two driveways over. He mentioned the dealer had quoted him a price that made him wince, and he was glad he called first. I don't think he even moved the S60 that morning. He just locked it, walked inside, and went about his day.
