02 S40 Key Cutting and Sync in the Chicago Area (who does this) No dealers .;(
So.
I bought this car and both keys were broke where you put the key ring through. I figured no biggie I could get a replacement made. Wrong !
Went to the local dealer they quoted me somthing like $39 for the key $138 for labor and $50 for the software. I almost fell over and I believe that was for each key. Also I did not get a remote and that I think was $138 plus the same extras quoted.
So would anybody know of a shop the Chicago area that could cut /program key blanks? Of better yet get the blanks and remote else ware and have them do it?
Thanks

Actually found a shop in the Chicago area and they were actually more expensive then Volvo. Fond a shop out of state that would supply , cut and install the software for around $200 but I would have to pull the immobilizer out of the car and send it to him.
These prices are a bit nuts I think....

These prices are almost more then what the car is worth.
My next idea is to get somthing like this , put a small slice in the bottom so the key shank would fit through and then zip it up. I just glue it to the leather cover w/ some barge cement.

There has to be a lot of folks in the same boat as myself and I'm suprised sombody has not mass produced a low teck fix for somthing as simple as the D ring piece breaking off your key.
If anybody has done this and could recommend a well built leather case to start with please pass it on. The case I have shown you noticed is not zippered all the way around so it would be easy to cut a small slit to pass the key through...

Hi,
I was wondering if you ever spoke w/ the guy as I'm still looking for a Key fob to get synced to the car. I did get a quote of $300 from a indy shop for the fob and sync. That is still a lot of dinero ;-)
