ask xemodex.com

How do you intend to "flash computer component that holds the memory" ? That would be the CEM.

Why did you get a used key and switch?

But thing is if i replace or have it flashed and key and switch are hooked up when I .put it back in everything should set it self with that key and switch right .can it be flashed

Car is at dealership .now they want to charge me $575 to find out why it's not connecting to internet they said but they have been trying to get me to spend money with them .don't mind paying for new key and programming.if it's the last resort car is an 08 v50 110000 miles on it

Should of just got a new key at the dealer, would of been a lot cheaper and proper. Also, I don't think a 08 v50 connects to the internet, I think you may have misunderstood what they are saying. Maybe some modules are communicating with VIDA?
