Question:
What tool is good to make keys for Volvo cars, i.e XC60?
Suggestion: If from around 2010 models using the slot key , then many tools will do keys for these including , abrites , smart pro , TDB1000 , Autel, Yanhua ACDP etc , but it will take up to 5 hours with battery support and tester plugged in to read data and some fail with all kit . OBD solution:
abrites do a stand alone dongle that isnt expensive , around £200 only , with this you can apply battery support to the vehicle , plug the dongle in and leave it in , return 5 hours later and if read successful code in the key via the dongle , but not all read 100% . This is your choice by obd .
EEPROM solution
You can also buy good eeprom reading tool , good dump tool to add keys to dump and remove and read the units from the car
Online access: or you can buy dealer tool and online access. Test and feedback: 1). I’ve done XC60 2012 slot key AKL with Autel IM608 take out the CEM read on bench and program the key by OBD – 1 hour job 2). Last time did make Volvo S60 2016 AKL (slot key+ keyless). Read CEM, read KVM, make key. All works. Use Autel IM608+ XP400 programmer.
