About V40 Keys
Verified key reference for the Volvo V40 — 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V40 (1st gen) | 1996–2004 | Transponder key | Philips ID44 (Crypto) / earlier ID73 | HU56 |
| V40 (2nd gen) | 2012–2016 | Smart proximity key | Philips/NXP Hitag2 ID46 | HU101 |
Security System & Immobilizer
Volvo used Megamos ID48 and Philips ID46 chips through the 2000s before SPA-platform DST-AES smart keys.
On the V40 specifically we see: Philips ID44 (Crypto) / earlier ID73, Philips/NXP Hitag2 ID46. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Volvo V40 Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my V40. 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.
My V40 is push-to-start — can you program that outside the dealer?
Yes. Late models (2012–2016) use a proximity smart key on Philips/NXP Hitag2 ID46 — we carry the fobs and the programmer, and we cut the emergency blade.
