Piston Slapper Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Some of you guys know I got one thru Amazon for $16. I'd like to know more about making this work with +99 cars that doesn't require bypassing the immobilizer or cutting the chip out of the current key. Could a real Volvo flip key w/immobilizer be used in this conversion housing? The P80 and P2 key chips are not compatible, so, even if this housing could accept the OEM flip blade w/ chip, it wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 So how do I get the chip out? Anyone have pix of this? I don't want to hack up my key in risk of damaging the chip, might get one from the junkyard to open first before I do mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston Slapper Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Or don't screw up your key and just ground the one wire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I've got 2 and if I have this flip it I still will if it works. I'm not sure I want to bypass it. I like people not being able to steal it... Not that anyone wants an old '00R, atleast out side of every member on this board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimusGlen Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I picked up one of the three button remotes from some place in China. All the guts of my remote swapped perfectly over (no panic button though) I also cut apart one of the two keys I have to extract the chip, which then slid perfectly into a slot in the new flip remote. To replace the battery I will need to disassemble the remote, but really, I think it's one screw, so it doesn't bother me. Going over to try and get it cut today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Why didn't you get the 4 botton? How did you cut up the key to get the chip out? Thru the center or sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimusGlen Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 When I ordered it I think I decided I liked the 3 button more and my thought was that I've never used a panic button in my life. I used a sharp box cutter razor blade and then shaved of a little at a time from one corner. The chip for my '99 looked like this and it's located here Once you get to this point, the chip will slide right out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D s50r Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 ehh this is pretty cool but still it has the shitty D link set up where the link streches and ur key falls off all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 That looks fairly easy to do. I'll more then likely use the key that has the most wear on it. Now just gotta get Howard to cut me a key. Knew I should have given it to you this weekend.. When you up this way again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEU Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Carlisle How bout it I have another R-BQ? Just got mine cut. Dealer charged me $5 and it works perfectly. My dealer will more then likely not be that cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston Slapper Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 How bout it I have another R-BQ? Yeah, but then you'd have to wait a whole year. USPS flat rate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db130 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Can the uncut key from the OP's kit be cut by the typical hardware store's key equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT5M Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Can the uncut key from the OP's kit be cut by the typical hardware store's key equipment? Most will not cut a key like ours because of the thickness. At least I have yet to find an Ace hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, that will cut it. My local dealership gets about $5-$8 to cut a key and that includes the fob for my 98. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
