About DB9 Keys
Verified key reference for the Aston Martin DB9 — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer each generation uses. Boundary years can overlap; we confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DB9 | 2004–2008 | Remote + transponder key (Volvo-style transmitter) | Ford/Volvo-family immobilizer | Volvo-type transmitter (FOBMOD DIY kits use genuine Volvo units) |
| DBS / DB9 / Rapide | 2009–2019 | “Emotional Control Unit” glass key | ECU crystal key system | Programming needs AM diagnostic software |
Security System & Immobilizer
Ford-era Astons use Volvo-family transmitters with an independent immobilizer chip; 2009+ cars moved to the crystal ECU key requiring Aston-specific diagnostics. We triage honestly by VIN.
On the DB9 specifically we see: Ford/Volvo-family immobilizer, ECU crystal key system. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.
Which key does your year have?
- 2004–2008: Remote + transponder key (Volvo-style transmitter) — Ford/Volvo-family immobilizer (Volvo-type transmitter (FOBMOD DIY kits use genuine Volvo units))

Aston Martin DB9 Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my DB9. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.
Will a hardware-store copy start my DB9?
On transponder-era cars it opens doors and nothing else — the chip must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is what we do curbside.
