Volvo V50 Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my V50. 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 V50?

On transponder-era cars it opens doors and nothing else — the chip must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is what we do curbside.
