Car Forum / Volvo Cars / February 2008Chip Key Won't Program
In my effort to put together a second set of keys for a 2000 xc the dealer doesn't seem to be able to get it to work. My visit today ended with, "make an appointment and we will have to do some diognostic work". Has anyone experienced difficulty with having a key programed? I'm wondering as to a cause, like maybe someone has changed a part thus changing the key code..... > In my effort to put together a second set of keys for a 2000 xc the dealer > doesn't seem to be able to get it to work.

Did the dealer Supply & cut the key for you ? if so ask them if the correct key blank was used as there are different blanks for the different models S80 is different from your car. The correct key for your car Part # 9187694 cut @ the dealer if you want a key cut from Volvo Part # 9187684 also your key should have a blue dot where the key blade goes in to the rubber Glenn Klein Volvo Certified Technician ASE Certified Technician  Signature" Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new" -- Albert Einstein The dealer did order the key. He took the wrapper off and handed it to me, i do not have the part number. The dot on the key is red. The part # on the invoice is 30753444-6. >> In my effort to put together a second set of keys for a 2000 xc the dealer >> doesn't seem to be able to get it to work.

The manager also refused to refund me for the key if so I might go to another dealer and have them order the correct key. Is there any way to cross reference the part number on the invoice to the key part number you provided? The way they have choosen to handle this is creating a "trust" issue with this dealer. They are close, but not the only one. newowner > In my effort to put together a second set of keys for a 2000 xc the dealer > doesn't seem to be able to get it to work.
