Introduction:

Volvo V40 car key replacement

Volvo V40 model was introduced in 1995. This model has two types of keys.

Remote key fob: 2013 to 2015.

High-security transponder: 1996 to 2006.

 

Important:

Most Volvo, as well as other high-end vehicles made in the US and abroad after 2015 are equipped with high-security key features, which only some locksmiths can cut and program as most automotive locksmiths don’t carry the necessary equipment to make a replacement key and/or program the key. Therefore, before calling for service, make sure you provide the VIN so the locksmiths can check if they can cut you a replacement key.

In addition, some key blanks may not be available here for certain years. If this is the case, most chances are the dealer is your only option, as there are no aftermarket keys and/or no available coding machine for locksmiths to cut and program this key.

Generally speaking, you have three options:

What should I tell the locksmith or dealer when I call for the service?

First, make sure you have the exact year, make and model, e.g. 2013 Volvo V40.

In addition, write down the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of the car located on the left side of the dashboard near the mirror. (Click here for more information). That would help the locksmith or dealer verifying the year, make and model of the car and the type of key you had.

In addition, ask if you can come and pick up the key or the car has to be present. With older models, codes may not be available and therefore on-site service will be required to make a new key.

Alternatively, you can tow the car to the locksmith shop but that would be more expensive.

Finally, make sure you can show ownership of the car by having the necessary documents. The title, ID, insurance card, etc.

Q: Volvo V40 key replacement cost – How much does it cost to replace a Volvo V40 key without the original? What is the average price?

A: In short, to replace a Volvo V40 key usually cost between $250-$900. It depends on a few factors:

  1. Type of key
  2. The year manufactured
  3. Time of day & your location
  4. Where you get a key replacement (dealer, automotive locksmith, online, etc.)
  5. Availability of code to cut a new key
  6. Original ignition or not

 

The answer below is a short explanation. For a more detailed explanation and GREAT TIPS on how to save money, please visit our blog post: Car keys replacement cost

The type of key you had and the year the car was manufactured are maybe the most important factors (chip, intelligent fob, “push to start”, remote, regular “non-transponder” key). The newer the car is, the better security features the key had and therefore you can expect to pay more than $450 for a replacement key. Click here to see this model type of key you had for a more accurate price and information.

In addition, it depends on where you get a key replacement. The dealer, automotive locksmith or get it online.

 

Important:

Because most locksmiths don’t carry the necessary equipment and keys to make Volvo keys, the dealer might be your only option and they charge accordingly. In addition, most chances you will have to tow the car there to program the new key or remote and therefore the total price is even higher.

Furthermore, consider that if you are looking to have a locksmith come out and make you a new key outside regular business hours, the price may go up as well.

Finally, in case your ignition cylinder was changed before (usually with older cars), that probably means that the code for the key may not be useful and the key will have to be either cut manually by a locksmith or to change the ignition again which in this case the dealer can’t be of help.

Volvo has different types of keys. Some require programming and some don’t. All transponder chip keys and/or smart key fobs need to be programmed with a special programming tool that only an automotive locksmith or the dealer has. There is no need to program non-transponder metal keys.

To make things simple we divided all Volvo keys into 2 categories:

  1. No programming needed (Non-transponder keys)
  2. Keys that need to be programmed and you will need an automotive locksmith or the dealer (Transponder or remote keys)

 

No Programming needed:

Volvo V40 non-transponder keys are metal keys that have no chip in them and therefore no programming is needed:

None – the Volvo V40 keys need to be coded/programmed.

 

Volvo V40 keys that need to be programmed and you will need an automotive locksmith or the dealer:

These keys, also known as remote smart keys, intelligent keys, or key fobs, as well as transponder keys, have a security chip in them, and programming is needed. In addition, a special machine is needed to program them and therefore an automotive locksmith or dealer should do it for you.
