Notes & cautions
- This chassis (Volvo XC90 1st gen, 2003-2015) spans P2 platform with chip evolution — early (2003-2007) Megamos crypto, mid (2008-2014) PCF7945, late (2015 facelift) HITAG-AES. Verify chip before ordering blanks. Lonsdor K518 + Volvo package covers Add Key/AKL.
- Volvo legacy 2003-2015 era.
- Volvo legacy era (1999-2008) uses Volvo CEM-based proprietary IMMO. Often requires Volvo VIDA factory tool. Aftermarket support limited — many shops decline older Volvo work. XC90 1 spans Ford era (2003-2014) and Geely transition.
- AKL erases existing keys — bring minimum 2 new Volvo keys matched to chip.
Lockout
