How to Double‑Check Before You Buy

To avoid compatibility headaches, match these details on your original key:

• FCC ID: Must read KR55WK49266
• Frequency: Must be 433MHz (printed on the back or inside the case)
• Part Number: Look for 30659498 or a direct supersession
• Buttons: Confirm a 6‑button layout – Lock, Unlock, Panic, Trunk, Lights, PCC

If any of these don’t match (different FCC ID, different frequency, fewer buttons), this Volvo key fob replacement is likely not the right one for your car.

How Programming Works for Volvo KR55WK49266 ID46 Key Fobs

Why most Volvo KR55WK49266 key fobs are not DIY programmable

For this 2007–2018 Volvo key fob replacement (KR55WK49266, 433MHz, ID46/PCF7945), programming is not something you can do at home with a simple sequence.
Volvo ties the ID46 transponder chip and PCC smart key functions into the car’s security system and central electronics module. That means:

• You need special Volvo-compatible diagnostic equipment
• Access is usually software‑locked to professionals
• Incorrect attempts can lock out the car or brick the new key fob

So this Volvo 433MHz remote key is sold blank and unprogrammed, and must be coded to your car.

Dealer vs automotive locksmith for Volvo key programming

For this KR55WK49266 Volvo smart key, you normally have two options in the U.S.:

Go to a Volvo dealer when:

• You want full OEM‑style service and are okay paying more
• Your car has no working key at all
• You’re dealing with software updates or complex immobilizer issues

Use a professional automotive locksmith when:

• You want to save money vs dealership pricing
• You still have at least one working Volvo key fob
• You need on‑site service (home, work, or roadside)

Both can usually program this 30659498 keyless entry remote as long as they handle modern Volvo proximity keys.

---

Typical Volvo key fob programming steps

A dealer or locksmith will generally:

1. Verify ownership of the vehicle (ID + registration/title)
2. Confirm compatibility of the new KR55WK49266 433MHz Volvo remote key
3. Connect a diagnostic tool to the OBDII port
4. Access the key/immobilizer menu in the Volvo software
5. Add or delete keys and program the new ID46/PCF7945 chip
6. Sync keyless entry, push‑to‑start, trunk, panic, and PCC functions
7. Test the new Volvo push to start remote and emergency key blade

Programming is usually done in one session, and once it’s coded, it becomes locked to that car only.

---

Average programming cost & what affects the price

Across the U.S., expect to pay for programming + cutting:

• Automotive locksmith: about $90–$200 total
• Volvo dealer: about $180–$350+ total

Pricing changes based on:

• Your location (big cities usually cost more)
• Whether you still have a working key
• If you’re using your own aftermarket Volvo proximity key vs buying theirs
• Any extra labor (all keys lost, module issues, software updates)

Buying this aftermarket Volvo 6-button smart key from us typically cuts the overall bill compared to full dealer pricing.

---

What to bring for Volvo KR55WK49266 key programming

To keep the visit quick and smooth, have:

• Vehicle VIN (on the dash or door sticker)
• Your driver’s license
• Registration or title with your name on it
• Any working Volvo key fobs you still have
• The new Volvo 433MHz KR55WK49266 key fob you bought from us

Most locksmiths and dealers in the U.S. will not program a key without proof of ownership.

---

Common programming issues & how to avoid them

Most problems with Volvo S60, S80, V60, V70, XC60, and XC70 key fob replacement come down to compatibility or weak prep. Avoid headaches by:

• Always matching:
  • FCC ID: KR55WK49266
  • Frequency: 433MHz
  • Button layout: 6 buttons (Lock, Unlock, Panic, Trunk, Lights, PCC)
  • Part number: 30659498 (or confirmed cross‑ref)
• Using a qualified Volvo locksmith or dealer—not a general “key cutter”
• Making sure the battery is fresh before testing
• Programming all keys in one session so the system sees them together

If the key fob won’t program or only works partially, it’s usually either wrong frequency/FCC ID, a bad chip, or a car‑side module issue—all things a good Volvo locksmith or dealer can diagnose quickly.

Cutting the Emergency Key Blade for Your Volvo KR55WK49266 Fob

The 2007–2018 Volvo S60, S80, V60, V70, XC60, XC70 smart key comes with an uncut emergency key blade. I include it so you’re covered if the battery dies, the Volvo 433MHz remote key fails, or you need to manually unlock the door and turn the ignition slot (on models that have it).

What the Uncut Emergency Blade Is For

You’ll use the cut blade to:

• Manually unlock the driver’s door if the battery or keyless entry fails
• Access the trunk on some models if the power locks are dead
• Turn the ignition slot on certain S80, V70, XC70 years if needed

The chip and remote functions are in the fob; the ID46 / PCF7945 transponder handles security. The blade is strictly mechanical backup.

Where to Cut Your Volvo Key Blade (Locksmith vs Dealer)

You’ve got two solid options in the U.S.:

• Automotive locksmith
  • Usually cheaper than a Volvo dealer
  • Used to cutting Volvo emergency key blades
  • Can often cut and program the Volvo KR55WK49266 key in one visit
• Volvo dealer
  • Access to factory key code by VIN
  • Good option if your original blade is badly worn or lost

For most customers, I recommend starting with a local automotive locksmith who advertises Volvo key fob cutting and programming.

What to Bring for Accurate Key Cutting

To avoid fit issues, bring:

• Your original Volvo key (even if the remote is dead)
• Your VIN (on the dash or registration)
• A valid ID and proof of ownership (title, registration, or insurance card)

If you don’t have a working key, ask the locksmith or dealer if they can pull or cut by key code using the VIN.

What to Test After the Emergency Blade Is Cut

Before you leave the locksmith or dealership, test the new blade:

• Insert and turn in the driver’s door:
  • Make sure it locks and unlocks smoothly, no sticking
• If your Volvo has an ignition slot:
  • Make sure the blade turns fully to all positions
• Confirm the blade seats fully in the Volvo 6-button smart key shell and doesn’t wiggle loose

If anything feels rough or it doesn’t turn cleanly, have them re-cut or fine-tune it on the spot. A properly cut emergency key blade is your backup when the electronics or battery let you down.

How to Verify This 2007–2018 Volvo Key Fob Will Work for Your Car

Before you buy any 2007–2018 Volvo key fob replacement, you want to be sure it’s a perfect match. Here’s exactly how I confirm a KR55WK49266 433MHz 30659498 Volvo smart key will work.

1. Match the FCC ID and Frequency

For this Volvo 6-button key fob replacement to work, your original remote should match:

• FCC ID: KR55WK49266
• Frequency: 433MHz

You’ll usually find the FCC ID and frequency:

• Printed on the back of the original Volvo key fob
• On a label inside the case (you may need to open it carefully)
• In some cases, in your Volvo service paperwork

If your original key shows a different FCC ID or a different MHz frequency, do not buy this one—it likely won’t program or work correctly.

2. Check Volvo Part Number 30659498

This aftermarket Volvo key fob is built as a replacement for:

• Volvo part number: 30659498
• Also commonly cross-references: RCPSI5W06-380, IC: 267T-5WK49266

Check your:

• Original key shell (printed or etched number)
• Owner’s paperwork or dealer invoice
• VIN-based parts lookup from a dealer or online catalog

If your original remote shows 30659498, you’re in the clear.

3. Confirm the 6-Button Layout and PCC / Lights

This Volvo KR55WK49266 433MHz key fob has 6 buttons:

• Lock
• Unlock
• Panic
• Trunk
• Approach Lights (Lights icon)
• PCC (Personal Car Communicator / info button)

Make sure:

• Your original key also has 6 buttons, not 4 or 5
• You see the PCC button and Approach Lights button on your old remote

If the button count or icons are different, it’s usually a sign of a different system (and not compatible).

4. Verify Your Volvo Model, Year, and Trim

This 433MHz Volvo proximity key is intended for:

• 2015–2016 Volvo S60
• 2016–2018 Volvo S60 Cross Country
• 2016–2018 Volvo S60L
• 2007–2016 Volvo S80
• 2014–2018 Volvo V60
• 2015–2018 Volvo V60 Cross Country
• 2008–2010 Volvo V70
• 2009–2016 Volvo XC60
• 2008–2016 Volvo XC70

Double-check:

• Model (S60 vs S60L vs S80 vs V60 vs XC60, etc.)
• Model year (not build year – go by registration/VIN)
• Trim (T5, T6, AWD, Cross Country, etc. – some trims use different systems)

If your Volvo falls outside these years or models, this key fob is probably not the right one.

5. Red Flags the Key Fob May Not Be Compatible

Walk away from the purchase if you notice:

• FCC ID is not KR55WK49266
• Frequency is not 433MHz
• Part number is not 30659498 or cross-reference
• Your original remote has more or fewer buttons
• No PCC or Approach Lights button on your original key
• Your car is a North American Volvo outside the model/year list above
• Seller can’t confirm compatibility using your VIN

If you’re in the U.S., I always recommend: send the seller your VIN + photo of your current key fob front and back. If they can’t verify compatibility with that info, it’s not worth the risk.

Installation and Setup Tips for Your Volvo S60 S80 V60 V70 XC60 XC70 Key Fob

When you’re setting up a new 2007–2018 Volvo S60, S60L, S80, V60, V70, XC60, or XC70 key fob replacement (KR55WK49266 433MHz 30659498, ID46), a little prep saves you time and money.

Before you go to the locksmith or dealer

Do this before anyone programs the Volvo key fob:

• Match your details:
  • FCC ID: KR55WK49266
  • Frequency: 433MHz
  • Part number: 30659498
  • 6 buttons: Lock, Unlock, Panic, Trunk, Approach Lights, PCC
• Bring:
  • Your driver’s license
  • Vehicle registration/title
  • VIN and at least one working key (if you have it)
• Call ahead:
  • Confirm they can program Volvo ID46 / PCF7945 smart keys
  • Ask for an estimate for cutting + programming

Testing remote buttons (lock / unlock / trunk / panic / PCC)

Right after programming, stand near the car and test every button:

• Lock: All doors lock, hazard lights flash
• Unlock: All doors unlock, interior lights on
• Trunk/Hatch: Trunk or tailgate pops/unlocks
• Panic: Horn and lights activate, then cancel with another press
• Approach Lights / PCC:
  • Lights come on when you press the Approach Lights icon
  • PCC status LEDs (if supported by your Volvo) respond when pressed

Do this at close range first, then step back and check range.

Testing push‑to‑start and keyless entry

For Volvos with keyless entry and push‑to‑start:

• Keyless entry:
  • Keep the Volvo smart key in your pocket
  • Touch the door handle sensor:
    • Car should unlock when grabbing the handle
    • Car should lock when you touch the lock area (if equipped)
• Push‑to‑start:
  • Foot on brake
  • Press Start/Stop:
    • Engine should start with the key inside the cabin
  • Move the key around (cupholder, pocket, bag) to be sure it’s detected

If the Volvo key fob only works partially

• Remote works, but car won’t start:
  • Likely a programming or transponder (ID46) issue
  • Ask them to reprogram or re‑add the key
• Starts the car, but no remote lock/unlock:
  • Confirm correct 433MHz frequency and FCC ID KR55WK49266
  • Have them recheck the remote portion of programming
• Some buttons dead:
  • Make sure the battery is fresh and properly seated
  • Confirm your car actually supports that PCC/Approach Lights feature

If they can’t get full function, ask for a diagnostic printout and confirm the key fob matches your Volvo’s model year and trim before assuming the car has a bigger issue.

Battery and Maintenance for Volvo 433MHz KR55WK49266 Key Fobs

How to open the Volvo key fob case safely

For the Volvo 433MHz KR55WK49266 key fob, don’t pry it open with a screwdriver unless you want cracked plastic. Do this instead:

• Slide out the emergency key blade using the side release.
• Use the metal blade or a plastic pry tool in the seam where the blade came out.
• Gently twist until the shell separates—work around the edge, don’t force one corner.
• Keep the circuit board and ID46 (PCF7945) chip clean and dry; don’t touch with wet or oily hands.

Signs your Volvo key fob battery is weak

If your KR55WK49266 Volvo smart key starts acting up, the battery is usually the first thing to check:

• You have to stand closer to the car for lock/unlock.
• Buttons respond slowly or only work sometimes.
• “Key battery low” or similar warning shows on the dash.
• Push‑to‑start requires multiple presses or placing the fob in a specific spot.

How often to replace for best performance

For most U.S. drivers using this Volvo key fob daily:

• Plan to replace the CR2032 / CR2450 battery every 1–2 years.
• Heavy remote use, extreme heat/cold, or aftermarket batteries may shorten that.
• If you’re buying a used or replacement 433MHz Volvo remote, swap in a fresh battery on day one so you’re not chasing signal issues later.

Why Choose an Aftermarket Volvo Key Fob Replacement Over Dealer

Cost difference vs dealer pricing

In the U.S., Volvo dealer smart keys are expensive. With an aftermarket 2007–2018 Volvo key fob replacement (KR55WK49266 433MHz, PN 30659498), you’re usually looking at:

You get the same core functions for a fraction of the price.

OEM‑level functionality from aftermarket

A quality aftermarket KR55WK49266 Volvo smart key should match OEM use:

• Same 6 buttons: Lock, Unlock, Panic, Trunk, Lights, PCC
• Same frequency: 433MHz Volvo remote key
• Same chip: ID46 / PCF7945 Volvo transponder
• Same features: Keyless entry, push‑to‑start, PCC status, emergency blade

If it’s correctly matched by FCC ID and part number (30659498), it will work like your original Volvo key fob.

Signal strength, range, and reliability

For U.S. drivers, daily use matters more than lab specs. A good aftermarket Volvo 433MHz remote key should give you:

• Range: Typically similar to OEM (30–60+ feet in open space)
• Consistency: No random dropouts, quick lock/unlock response
• Stable push‑to‑start: Car recognizes the Volvo proximity key inside the cabin

If you see weak range or missed presses, that’s usually a programming, battery, or car-side antenna issue—not the frequency itself.

Warranty, returns, and support to look for

Since I treat this product like it’s my own, I always look for:

• Clear warranty:  6 months on the key fob
• Hassle‑free returns: 30‑day return window if it can’t be programmed
• U.S.‑based support: Fast response if a locksmith has issues
• Written compatibility: Volvo S60, S60L, S80, V60, V70, XC60, XC70 with FCC ID KR55WK49266 / PN 30659498

If a seller can’t stand behind the Volvo key fob replacement, skip it.

When a dealer OEM key still makes sense

Aftermarket is the best value for most people, but the dealer might still be the right move if:

• Your FCC ID or frequency doesn’t match KR55WK49266 / 433MHz
• Your car has unusual software or security issues and the locksmith can’t complete programming
• You need warranty documentation tied to a CPO or extended Volvo warranty
• You want remote start or special Volvo app integrations that require a specific OEM part

In most normal cases, a quality aftermarket Volvo 6‑button smart key is the smarter, cheaper, and more flexible option for U.S. Volvo owners.

Troubleshooting Volvo Key Fob Programming and Signal Issues

If your 2007–2018 Volvo key fob replacement KR55WK49266 (433MHz, ID46, PN 30659498) isn’t acting right, here’s how I’d break it down before replacing anything.

Key fob not detected / no start

If the Volvo smart key won’t start the car or the dash says “Key Not Found”:

• Try different positions
  • Hold the Volvo 6-button smart key right next to the start button or the steering column.
  • Make sure the battery is fresh (CR2032 or CR2450, depending on your fob).
• Check basics
  • Confirm the FCC ID KR55WK49266 and 433MHz match your original Volvo remote.
  • Make sure the key fob was actually programmed to your VIN (locksmith/dealer can confirm).
• When to suspect programming issues
  • Car locks/unlocks with the buttons, but no push-to-start.
  • The car recognizes your old key, but never this new Volvo proximity key.

At that point, I tell customers to head back to the automotive locksmith or Volvo dealer that did the programming and have them re-scan the fob.

Lock/unlock works, but push-to-start fails

This usually points to a transponder / immobilizer issue, not the remote side:

• The ID46 (PCF7945) chip may not have been added properly to the car’s system.
• Ask the tech to:
  • Re-add the key as a new smart key, not just a remote.
  • Verify that the transponder ID shows up in the Volvo diagnostic software.

If the remote features work but the engine won’t start, it’s almost never just a battery issue.

When to suspect bad chip, wrong frequency, or car-side issue

You should start asking questions if:

• The FCC ID doesn’t match KR55WK49266, or the frequency isn’t 433MHz.
• Buttons never worked, even right after programming.
• Another correctly programmed Volvo key works perfectly on your car.

In that case, the problem is usually:

• Bad chip / bad board in the aftermarket Volvo smart key.
• Wrong frequency key (e.g., a 315MHz key for a 433MHz car).
• Car-side issue (antenna, keyless entry module, or software) – a dealer or high-end locksmith can scan for this.

Steps to work through with your locksmith or dealer

When you go back to your Volvo locksmith or dealer, I suggest you:

• Bring:
  • All keys you have for the car
  • Your VIN and proof of ownership
  • The original key fob (if you still have it)
• Ask them to:
  • Confirm FCC ID KR55WK49266 / 433MHz / ID46 (PCF7945) are correct for your VIN.
  • Reprogram the Volvo key fob from scratch, not just “add remote.”
  • Test: lock/unlock, trunk, panic, lights, PCC, and push-to-start while you’re still there.

If the fob still won’t behave and the car checks out fine, I treat it as a defective remote and swap it for a new KR55WK49266 Volvo key fob replacement.

Common Questions About 2007–2018 Volvo S60 S80 V60 V70 XC60 XC70 Key Fob Replacement

Does this Volvo key fob come pre-programmed or blank?

This 2007–2018 Volvo S60 / S80 / V60 / V70 / XC60 / XC70 key fob replacement comes blank:

• The ID46 (PCF7945) chip is installed, but not programmed.
• You must have it programmed by a Volvo dealer or an advanced automotive locksmith with Volvo software.
• It will not start the car or work for keyless entry until it’s programmed to your specific VIN.

Will it work if my original frequency or FCC ID is different?

No. For a Volvo key fob replacement to work, these must match:

• FCC ID: KR55WK49266
• Frequency: 433MHz
• Part number: 30659498 (or a fully compatible Volvo cross-reference)

If your original remote shows a different FCC ID or frequency, do not buy this one. It will usually program-fail or only work partially.

Is the emergency key blade included and can it be cut anywhere?

Yes, this Volvo 6-button smart key includes an uncut emergency key blade:

• It can be cut by most automotive locksmiths in the U.S.
• Some Volvo dealers will also cut it, but usually at a higher price.
• Bring:
  • Your original key (best option), or
  • Your key code and valid ID + registration/title

Once cut, test it in:

• Driver’s door lock
• Glovebox / trunk (if applicable)

How do I swap the battery without damaging the shell?

This Volvo key fob uses a CR2032 or CR2450 (check your original). To replace it safely:

1. Open the case carefully
   • Use the emergency blade or a small flat screwdriver in the seam.
   • Twist gently—don’t pry hard or you’ll crack the shell.
2. Replace the battery
   • Match the same type and orientation (+ side up).
   • Avoid touching the contacts with greasy fingers; a quick wipe with a dry cloth is ideal.
3. Snap the case back together
   • Press evenly around the edges until it clicks all the way around.

What if the key fob will not work even after programming?

If your KR55WK49266 Volvo 433MHz key fob still doesn’t work:

1. Double-check compatibility
   • Confirm FCC ID KR55WK49266, 433MHz, and 30659498 match your original.
   • Make sure your Volvo model/year is within:
     • S60 (2015–2016), S60 Cross Country (2016–2018), S60L (2016–2018)
     • S80 (2007–2016), V60 (2014–2018), V60 Cross Country (2015–2018)
     • V70 (2008–2010), XC60 (2009–2016), XC70 (2008–2016)
2. Confirm programming was completed
   • Ask the dealer/locksmith if the system accepted the key or showed any errors.
   • Some Volvos require software download from Volvo servers—not just generic programming.
3. Rule out simple issues
   • Try a fresh battery.
   • Test inside the car, close to the start button and PCC antenna area.
4. Next step
   • If everything checks out and it still fails, we treat it as a defective key fob and replace or refund according to our warranty policy.

Useful Add-Ons for Your Volvo Smart Key Fob Replacement

When you’re running a Volvo key fob replacement for a 2007–2018 S60, S60L, S80, V60, V70, XC60, or XC70, a few simple add-ons make life easier and protect your investment.

Protective Covers and Cases for Volvo Remotes

I strongly recommend a silicone or TPU key fob cover made for the Volvo 6-button smart key KR55WK49266. It helps:

• Protect against drops, scratches, and pocket wear
• Keep dirt and moisture away from the buttons
• Maintain resale value if you ever sell the car or the fob

Look for covers specifically sized for 30659498 Volvo 6 button smart key so all buttons (Lock, Unlock, Panic, Trunk, Lights, PCC) line up correctly.

Spare CR2032 / CR2450 Batteries

For U.S. drivers, keeping spare key fob batteries in the glove box is cheap insurance:

• Buy name-brand CR2032 or CR2450 (whichever your Volvo 433MHz remote key uses)
• Store 1–2 extras at home and in the car
• Replace at the first sign of weak range or delayed locking

Search by “Volvo key fob battery CR2032” or “Volvo key fob battery CR2450” to match your specific remote.

Extra Emergency Key Blades

Your aftermarket Volvo proximity key comes with an uncut emergency blade, but I like to:

• Order 1–2 extra emergency key blades as backups
• Have a local automotive locksmith cut them using the original Volvo key
• Keep one emergency blade at home and one in a safe spot in the car

This way, even if you misplace the smart key, you’re not locked out.

Extra Volvo Key Fobs for a Second Driver

If you share the car, a second Volvo smart key is worth it:

• Program a spare Volvo S60 / XC60 keyless entry fob for another driver
• Keep one fob as a “daily use” key and the other as a backup / valet key
• Avoid being stranded if one Volvo key fob is lost, damaged, or the battery dies

You can use the same KR55WK49266 Volvo smart key style as your main remote so both keys work identically with push-to-start and keyless entry.
