That 'key thing'...

[Windymiller]

Got hold of a Volvo key recently and thought I'd have a nosey and see what the similarities and differences are between these and the older AM key...

The strangest thing to note is how the Volvo key is hacked at to make it become an AM key. Looks like someone's taken a Dremel to it!

Pretty sure there is a workstation and stool at the factory where that's done

I like the fob actually - nice a chunky

Got to admit - the upgrade to the Jaguar fob IS A MUST.

Bit of self adhesive Carbon fibre tape on the back to cover the Jaguar logo and you would never know. Did both of mine for £50.00 for the pair (courtesy of eBay).

How about change the Ford ignition and door key barrels to suit the Volvo, 5 button (flat blade) flip key. That would solve the fob issue.

All you'd then need to do, is stick your little Aston badge over the Volvo insignia: job done. Be great if it could be that simple...

No it hasn't, that flip key is the 4 button Jag one with the Ford flip blade. My suggestion is quite a different proposition altogether.

I always wondered what the switch on the bottom of the fob was for. It did nothing that I could discern.

It must make the designers at Aston feel really good, that they managed to design such a lovely car, the only thing owners worry about changing is the key fob
