VOLVO key programming

[jodge]

It depends on the attack possibilities. If it's a hash based (md5, sha-1 with or w/o salt...etc) it's simple just GPU power And the chinese will win the game. Always.
If it's a simple bug in the CEM (like the cem don't count the wrong pin's) there is nothing to do. You have to wait the time. But the volvo able to patch this bug very easy.

And how looks like the volvo pin? Numbers-letters, legth?

BTW thx the info i don't really know the volvo systems

like abrites the diagnostic box kit is quick on volvo V40 and one other but is up to 5 hours on rest , so seems similar . im told smart pro will be quicker and have a wider coverage . if the case of course everyone will have it in a years time .

AD is full of themselves and have turned to junk since ILCO bought them out. I wouldn't put much hope on them.

Yeah AD is way behind, sad to see but it's true. And their Smart Pro is the most overpriced tool nowadays

hello guys. i´ve been asked if i could program the keys of a Volvo V70 (2011/2012 i think) but i would like to know the exact procedure...
The mechanic and owner dont have any keys or documentation from this car.
Can anyone give me some tips on the tools that would be needed and if there is any clone tool that i could get to do this?
they are assembling the car, since it was stoped for quite some time and i would like to help them out...
Also, does anyone know where can i get (for free) the Repair/Workshop manuals for this car?
I can share with you guys a picture of the Vin Number Plate if this help in anything.
hope someone can help me out.

thanks

For the slot-key Volvos I'm currently using the TBD1000 with their TDB750 dongle, plug the dongle in and go and do other jobs for up to 5 hours while it brute forces the security. No diagnostic tool left in the car to be lost or stolen while away, fairly discreet however I wouldn't let the customer drive it if a spare key job as the successful attempt leads to a full reboot of all control modules and I imagine would likely cut engine, unconfirmed though. When doing spares I take the original away with me just to be super-duper safe. If I run out of work 1-2 hours in I call the customer and ask them to check the LED on the dongle. If solid green ready for key learning. A much better solution than waiting around or leaving a fully-featured diagnostic tool in the car while doing other jobs.

Aparently we Swedes know how to do it...(almost).

Had one guy coming to shop (like a 2004 Volvo V70, 10 years ago) with an original key that Volvo sold him (but uncut).
I did the cuttings (never do but my own Silcas, or max as this time, originals ones) and it worked spot on.
It was already programmed and remote was working too. Preconfigured by Volvo. Think that will be a-once-in-a-life-job.
Asked him about the price? Volvo charged him about €130 for a pre-progammed but uncut key with a working remote, and my cutting cost.
He walked away with a pretty cheap working key - according to me.
