There are several similar videos on CZcams - hands down, yours is the best. And you are spot on: it doesn’t have to this difficult. Again, thank you.
Thanks Dan :)
Thanks it helped me a lot... So much difficulty to acess the battery and unecessary overbuild from volvo
Hi David, yes agreed, it's over-engineered for sure. Glad it helped you :)
Oh man, thank you so soo much. You literally saved my key and my mental health as I had been trying to open the thing for almost 20 mins without any success. Thank you!!!
Hi Zuzana, yes these are a bit of a puzzle. Glad it helped you :)
Great advice. Clunky key made easy. Thanks heaps.
Kind of glad the key is so hard to open though. Probably the reason it is still working after 2 hours in the surf!
Wow, you really are lucky if it's still working. I'd advise taking a look at this blog post, it may save your key from long term damage ;) thecarkeyman.co.uk/key-news/wet-car-keys-what-should-i-do/
EXCELLENT!! THIS WORKED for my 2019 S90 Key
Great stuff Monica, well done and I appreciate the feedback :)
Absolutely perfect! Easy to understand, and the advice was spot on!
Thanks, pleased it helped :)
Thank you! Just saved my marriage with this tutorial video 🤣
Phew! Always happy to ease the stress of married life ;)
Thanks again - return viewing for a refresher 🏆
Welcome back and thanks again 👍
thank you so much! The volvo version of this video is slick, but really, 'down and up' does not really describe how to take the cover off. one thing - I have a 2019 volvo, and they changed it around such that the side with the volvo emblem is the side that houses the key.
Hi Chris, thanks for this info, it will help other people a lot :)

Brilliant. Just used this. Did it with no problems. Very clear.
Thansk for the feedback Stephanie :)
Thank you from Florida USA. I have been trying to figure it out for a couple days now. Thanks again.
Hi Carl, yes a bit of a riddle. Thanks for the feedback :)
After 10 minutes of trying unsuccessfully to remove the battery side cover using Volvo's inept "instructions" in the manual I found your clear video and immediately got the cover off. They left out an important step which is obvious when you see how it is actually done. It is ridiculous that a major vendor is too lazy to actually verify that their instructions work. Instead they waste thousands of customer's time each one trying to figure out how to do a simple routine maintenance task on their car. Thank you for taking the time to explain this properly and to CZcams for making free access to volunteer expertise to make our lives easier.
You're welcome, thanks for this excellent feedback :)
Hard to replace. Thanks for the vid. Last Volvo I’m going to buy…😢
Yes a bit pricey ...
Thank you! Just replaced 2 batteries and now they work perfectly!
Great stuff, thanks for the feedback :)
Thank you! This made my life so much easier when changing my wife’s key battery.
Hi, yes the Volvo keys are a bit of a puzzle. Really glad it helped you and thanks for watching :)
Very helpful, I can never remember how to take off the back. This is my go to video for changing out the battery in my Key fobs. Thank you
Thanks Mark, pleased it keeps helping you :)
Pointed me in the right direction for 2018 Volvo. Basically the case is crap and need not be so hard. Thank for ur help!!!
You're welcome :)
Thank you very very much. This helped me a ton this morning, and saved me $700.00
You'r ewelcome, but who was going to charge you $700?
@@TheCarKeyMan the Volvo dealer for a new key fob here!😬
Thanks for this video! It was a great deal of help to me. One thing, my plates were reversed from what you show here. No biggie…..just the plate with the Volvo logo was on the same side as the spare key. Still….extremely helpful video!
Hi Jeffrey, thanks for the info. I think the plates can be used either way, but didn't realise this when I made it. Really appreciate the feedback :)
I was frustrated with my key cause I didn’t realise there are two sizes to be removed. Thank you so much for your instruction. God bless you ❤
You're very welcome, really pleased it helped :)
Well done, couldn’t have done this without your help. Blimey it was frustrating to get the back and front off, it got bounced around the kitchen once ! Anyway it works. . .still . Thank you. A
Well done Andrew, yes a bit frustrating until you know how :)
It would have been way easier if the logo side and the side without the logo wouldn’t have been exactly the other way round, I almost broke the whole device following your instructions, other than that MINOR detail it helped me to exchange the battery, you should correct that in your video, then I would give it 11 out of 10 points
Very helpful, on my 2018 key, the bit that comes off is the top part with the Volvo logo
Hi Joe, thanks for the extra info :)
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful and much appreciated.
You're welcome Jennifer, thanks for the feedback :)
Thank you brother...great to-the-point video!
Thanks, really pleased it helped :)
My cover with the VOLO logo came off first my key is 2017.. but your video was very helpful!! Thank you
Hi, do you mean it has broken already?
@@TheCarKeyMan Great video. I had the same issue. In the 2017 Volvo XC90 the cover that comes off first is the cover with the Volvo logo on it. They must have changed the key design slightly between 2015 and 2017. It took me a bit to figure it out....
Thank you SO much. Major help, my friend!
Great stuff Jason, thanks for the feedback :)
FYI, the sides are the same, so they can both fit on either side. I only worked this out as mine were the other way round to yours. Great video ;-)
Hi, thanks , I didn't know that! Really appreciate the feedback :)
Super helpful video. Thanks for helping out
You're welcome Timothy, glad it helped you :)
Brilliant - thank you!

You're welcome Tyler. They're a bit of a puzzle if you don't know how. Glad it helped :)
Thanks. Just what I needed!

Thank you so much I really really found this very very helpful and useful too. Volvo do on purpose, so it costs a you a fortune to get changed!!!!!
Hi Mags, yes this key is a bit of a puzzle, why is itso fifficult just to change the battery? Who knows!
Glad it helped you :)
So helpful, thank you.
You're welcome Charlie :)

Thank you! So much clearer then the owners manual. 👍🏻
Hi, yes it's so much easier seeing it than reading it. Really glad it helped you and thanks for watching :)

Thank you
You are very welcome :)
Thank you. My key gib battery dies so often I regret getting a volvo so much. This I the worst experience ever.
Hello Elmida, do you have the same problem for both keys?
Would this affect they key to the point where I would have to take it to the dealer to re program ? Or should the battery swap be fine ?
Hi Daniel, I've never needed to recode these after a battery change
Plastic convers should go on thé différent sides though.
Hi, thanks for the info :)
Well demonstrated, a huge help!! Cheers
Thanks, this is quite tricky for a simple battery change, so I hope you got it sorted :)
This was helpful but the key were do i put it to open the car can't se a keyhole at all. I had to have my backup key driven to me.
Hi, in one of the door handle is a symbol of a key. under that plastic cover is the lock. Can't remember if it's drivers or passenger, sorry
is there any way to get to the circuitry in order to clean it? I keep having to replace batteries. Just replaced them all and on is already not working after 10 days. The battery is down to 3.07v but it should still work.
I'm really not sure to be hinest, from memory the insides are held together with a plastic frame and I don't know if that opens, sorry
CR2032 is a 3V battery, so 'down to 3.07V' seems a strange comment (unless it's a typo). I wonder if the keys sit kind of in range of the vehicle during the day, if that'll cause the battery to run down quickly though.
@@hatbabe the keys have sat in the same spots and so have both cars since the day we bought them in 2016 and never had any issues. Get a multimeter and test the battery and you will get 3.3volts if it is new. May seem like a strange comment to you but not a typo just a fact. Try it and see for yourself. You could do the same thing for a 12-volt car battery and youll probably find this comment very strange as well but it will read more than 12 volts when tested!!!
Very helpful thank you, my 66 plates Volvo logo was on the opposite side of the fob than yours
That's useful info, thanks Duncan :)
I need a small help I accidentally broke the sides is there a solution for that because now the key is not working
Hi iv lost my keys to my Volvo estate n wondering if u .can help me get it n start it to get it home
Sorry, no we can't help unfortunately
The black tab piece fell out. Is there a way to fix it?
Sorry not that I know off. unless you can glue it?
Ha! My wife has a broken Lexus key just like the one shown in the beginning of the video (not to mention a Volvo key with a dead battery).
plenty of those keys break, but not too many left now
Daftest key design I have ever seen! Volvo couldn't do better than this!
Agree, so over the top
How do you program this key?
Hello, a computer is needed to programme any new key to the car
The Car Key Man Is it convenient to leave a contact information, I am a Chinese locksmith?
The Car Key Man Is Wechat OK?
What is mean XE90?
The most difficult thing to open!
Yes Carolyn, a bit of a puzzle, hope this helped :)
Old school keys are honestly more efficient. Such an expensive pain in the ass.
Agreed Annie, anything push button is trouble....
Thus does not work and whoever saying it is lying! 😢
Thank you!
