1997 V70 key transponder V70-XC70 1997

I'm trying to make some new keys for our church's 1997 Volvo V70. I'm located in Australia.

I have a single silca key which turns in the ignition, but it has no transponder in it presently. If I put it in the ignition it turns and starts but immediately stops. I presume that is because of the immobiliser.

My research on the net leads me to believe that I need to get an ID73 transponder, often called NE66T2, and once I have that, somehow the car needs to be programmed to recognised that transponder. Does that sound right?

Is programming the car to recognise a new key transponder something that can be done via some magic like turning the ignition a number of times, or does it have to be done with software connection to the car?

If software, can it be done with VOL-FCR software and appropriate cable?

Regards
Dave

    1997 V70 key transponder V70-XC70 1997

    The USA market did not get a transponder key until 1999, which makes me suspect that your problem is not the key. It could be the ignition switch.

    When you let your key 'bounce' back from the start position, are the instrument panel warning lights still on?

    If you plugged in the wrong year and it is really a 1999 with a transponder imbedded key, how did you ever drive this car? Or did you lose the one and only key?

    As far as I know, the transponder program can only be activated by VADIS software. The VOL-FCR might not have the ability to interface with the security module. Turning the key 5 times was an 850 program.
