1998 V70 Need a Key Made

Post by deepsouth »

Hi all--
Anyone know a cheap source to get a key made? Is there some kind of transponder in these keys or can I buy a blank off ebay (like photo below) for $10 and get it cut at a local locksmith? Any help is much appreciated!
Eric

I think that you can just cut it.

Immobiliser in these cars communicates with remote key fob(Volvo Guard Alarm),not with the key.

Can you post a picture of your original key?

98 doesn't have an electronic fob, any locksmith can cut it. Sort of an odd cut but I think common for a locksmith. On ebay there's a dealer in KS I think that sells the keys already cut if you give him the keycode/vin as long as ignition is original I guess.
