I have three keys, one works for everything, one opens car locks but do not turn engine on the third one does not do anything. Call the Volvo dealer and they want to sell me a complete key, too expensive! Do you know of a place where I can send the keys to be programmed. Or if reprogram the ECM will do it.



Thank you. Manuel.
