Re: Replacement key/remote - $cost? (tmtalpey)
Just some heads-up on a potential problem... If there is any rotational movement between the upper section of your key housing the FOB/immobilizer and the lower transmitter portion, the key's days are numbered. Told dealer after sections separated while starting car that glue type fix would not be acceptable. After some arm twisting, agreed to replace FOB/immobilizer section under warranty.

There are actually three keys in the XC90's fob: - the key itself, a "laser-cut" symmetrically fabricated device - the immobilizer, an RFID chip embedded in the fob - the remote, the 5-button unlock/panic/lighting transmitter. |
