How to Program the Volvo S40 Keyless Entry

Programming Instructions

You can’t program a Volvo S40 keyless entry remote. The module requires a dealer tool for synchronization. If your remote isn’t working, try replacing the battery. If that doesn’t help, contact a Volvo dealer to set up an appointment to have the remote programmed. The instructions previously published on this page were inaccurate, according to several readers. Please contact The Remote Guy if you know how to program the S40 remote.
