Volvo S60 Keys & Fobs
Which fob your S60 takes depends on the year. The first-gen S60 (2001-2009) uses a transponder blade key with a chip in the head that the immobilizer reads on every start. The second-gen (2011-2018) switched to Volvo's slot-style smart key, where you slide the fob into the dash slot and twist; it's a HITAG-family transponder paired to the car. The third-gen (2019 and up, SPA platform) is a true proximity push-to-start fob with passive entry. Every one of these has to be programmed to the car's VIN with Volvo-specific diagnostic gear that pulls the security data, and the metal emergency blade (or door blade on older models) is cut to your locks. There's no DIY on-board pairing on these; it's a tool-and-VIN job.
A common one on the 2011-2018 slot-key S60: the fob feels dead or the car won't recognize it when inserted, and owners assume the whole key failed. Most of the time it's just the CR2032 coin cell inside the fob. The slot can still start the car off the transponder when the battery's flat, but passive functions and the remote die. We swap the coin cell and re-test, and if the fob buttons themselves are worn or cracked we'll program a fresh smart key to the VIN so you're not stuck running a single key.
