Programming Guide for 2013 Volvo V40 Keyless Entry Remote Fob (Smart Key)

Important Notice: This vehicle does not support onboard programming for keyless entry remote fobs. Programming requires specialized diagnostic equipment and must be performed by a qualified technician.

Programming Procedure

• Step 1: Locate a Qualified Professional Find a certified automotive technician or service provider who is equipped to program smart key remote fobs for your vehicle.
• Step 2: Consider Cost-Effective Options If your vehicle is still drivable, it may save you money to drive it to the technician's location instead of having them come to you. This option is often more affordable.
• Step 3: Prepare All Key Fobs Ensure that you have all current and new key fobs that need to be programmed. Some systems may require all fobs to be present during the programming process.
• Step 4: Provide Proof of Ownership Before programming, the technician may request proof of ownership, such as your vehicle registration or title, to verify that you are authorized to program the keyless entry fobs.
• Step 5: Connect to the Vehicle’s System The technician will use specialized diagnostic equipment to connect to your vehicle’s system. This allows them to securely access the vehicle's security system and initiate the key fob programming.
• Step 6: Programming the Smart Key Remote Fob Using the diagnostic equipment, the technician will program the new remote fob to your vehicle’s system, ensuring it is securely paired and functions properly.
• Step 7: Test the Programmed Fob Once the programming is complete, the technician will test the new remote fob to confirm it works correctly, including verifying keyless entry and remote start functionality.
• Step 8: Program Additional Fobs (If Needed) If you need additional key fobs programmed, the technician will repeat the programming process for each one. It is important to program all fobs in the same session to ensure they are synchronized with the vehicle’s system.
