Good place to order Keys and keyless remotes?

Post by tmoose27 »

What is a good site to order keys from. Specifically a 2000 VolvS40 key which I believe is called a transponder key because the chip in the key must be programed to the car.? Thanks!

You can get them on eBay...just make sure they look the same and the FCC number on the back of yours matches what you buy. When you go to the dealer for programming, I wouldn't tell them you bought this elsewhere...just tell them that it quit working and needs reprogramming. Otherwise, they are apt to charge you an arm and a leg. Also, take all of your key fobs in when you go- they'll have to program them one after another- if you don't do this, the old ones will become deprogrammed.
