Default Chipped Keys

75% of all car Companies have now released blank keys and software to Locksmiths so their chipped keys can be made at a better cost to their car consumers. the Average cost at a locks smith is now $50. to $75. However Our manufacturer Volvo wont release them so we have a Starting cost of $110 to $250 for a key. Now that is showing us good customer service get your key with a @#$^$ don't you feel special I sure do!

Customer service? Why would they want to make it easy and cheap for you to go somewhere else for the key? And where did you get your 75% figure?

And actually, the equipment the dealer uses is available for purchase too. So he can buy VIDA, a DiCE and a subscription to perform software downloads if he wants to program Volvo keys.

He said Volvo will not release their blanks to non Volvo dealers so software with no keys is worthless

Well he is wrong. You can buy a non programmed key at the dealership.

The key isn't that expensive. The hardware and software is. Your locksmith doesn't want to buy it. If he did, he would need to do a lot of Volvo keys to make it worth it. And guess who pays for it? The customer.

You are really that dumb that you don't know how to use punctuation.

Good luck whining about your key costs, *******. You have no idea what you're talking about. You can buy a blank key and even you can buy the software and hardware to program it. Its available to anyone.
