Morning all,
As part of my ongoing light restoration I thought it would be nice to have a spare fob and key for my car.
I've therefore just done the usual thing and purchased the two button remote fob (one bigger button above the other smaller button) from Ebay, I know there are two frequencies of fob that essentially look the same, I think these are either 433Mhz or 413Mhz, but decided I was willing to take a risk as the fob was cheap, plus the car it came from also had the same glass break sensor alarm... We'll see next week if I got lucky when it comes to the reprogramming.
The question I've been unable to answer via the Search is if I go to get a non-Volvo key blank cut to accompany the fob as a spare, will there be some sort of immobiliser or induction part included in the Volvo key; meaning it's not an easy cut key blank to get a working spare that will start the car?
I'm happy to just keep the remote fob as a spare (presuming I get lucky on the frequency), but it would also be nice to have a back-up key if it doesn't involve main stealer prices for the luxury.
Thanks in advance for your help.
