I have realised in the few weeks of being on this site, that there are an enormous number of bright and knowledgable blokes on here. To be PC I’m sure that applies to the wives & women also .
So I feel such a plank .Complete numb nuts . My brain has gone to mush in the three weeks of having a new knee and watching endless daytime TV. Property porn and loose women in abundance.

My wife came in tonight and said she was having difficulty with the Volvo XC60 keys and had bought replacement batteries .As she has nursed me so well I immediately responded to her request & replaced the batteries in the key fobs .
Minutes later Duh ! It dawned on me that the fobs do everything and sure enough they don’t work. They need programming !

Does anyone know how to do this with newish Volvos ? Any little hack?The nearest Volvo dealer is miles away . Hopefully tomorrow I can get in with the third master key , turn off the alarm an reprogram.

Any advice, spot on Youtube videos, would be gratefully received.
I don’t believe I did this …….MM
PS Also so dumb I cannot send pictures to the site and the posts on computer problems sound like a foreign language to me.

Feeling ancient I bio oiled my new knee and met up with Volvo assist.
Then he noticed that whilst I had removed a battery sized Repulsive taste card printed in several languages the underside of the battery had a 4 or 5mm Bitrex sticker . Having removed the incredibly well packed batteries and not touched them with my fingers, I had not seen this extra Health & Safety measure !

I am with you on both of those points.

You have to wonder just how clever these damn marketing people are. Yes you have scrapped the Interweb to find out everything about me and know I am now >60 years old so start to market your Trump branded incontinence pants at me. Do you think I want to be 60 and want to appreciate the outstanding offer you are allegedly making to me. Do you not think it might offend me?

I tried to unpack some 2032 recently and by the end was near to throwing them and the product out the window. We need a new type of packing marked "I am a grown up and do not intend to insert or swallow this damn thing, just let me in".
