Programming Guide for 2014 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 by driving it to the technician’s location instead of having them come to you. This option is typically more affordable.
• Step 3: Prepare All Key Fobs Ensure that you have all the current and new key fobs ready for programming. Some systems may require all existing fobs to be present during the programming process.
• Step 4: Provide Proof of Ownership The technician may ask for proof of ownership, such as the vehicle registration or title, before proceeding with the programming to verify that you are the authorized owner of the vehicle.
• Step 5: Connect to the Vehicle’s System The technician will connect specialized diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s system. This equipment allows them to securely access and program the remote fob.
• Step 6: Programming the Smart Key Remote Fob Using the diagnostic equipment, the technician will initiate the programming procedure to pair the new remote fob with your vehicle’s system, ensuring it works properly.
• Step 7: Test the Programmed Fob Once programming is complete, the technician will test the remote fob to ensure it functions correctly with your vehicle, including testing keyless entry and remote start functionality.
• Step 8: Program Additional Fobs (If Needed) If you have additional key fobs to program, the technician will repeat the process for each one. All fobs should be programmed during the same session to ensure they synchronize with your vehicle’s system.
