The little metal piece on the side prevents the metal key from rattling against the plastic once inserted. Volvo attention to details... :-)

Little metal tab on the its there to apply pressure to first key that you removed. Hope it helps the tip. FR

Very helpful video. Saves me the trouble of having to ask a Volvo dealer to do it for me (no doubt at an extortionate cost) Thanks

this was super helpful. the instructions in the owners manual didn't have enough detail to show you how to remove the cover. thanks so much.

Saved me a lot of time and trouble. Thanks very much for taking the time out to make the video. And especially for identifying the little metal piece on the side (which flew out when I opened mine, and I couldn't work out where it came from!)

that little piece of metal @ the 2 min. mark (spring) is for actual key if you don't have it in it your key will rattle in the holder. thanks for the video just replaced my battery and now I can open the windows from a further distance by having the open button pushed in visa versa to close the windows ;-)

This clip made it easy for me to change the batteries in both of my 2008 S80 PCCs. Mine have two batteries each. One PCC had the little metal piece and one did not. I assume the missing one was lost when the batteries were replaced in the past. Thanks for the video.

Thank you. I did not have a little silver piece on the edge. There was some silver wire contraption next to the battery casing. I have a 2011 S60 T6. Instructions were very concise.

The little spring seems to me an extra restraint for the metal key. Nice clip! I used it to replace the rubber buttons. Thanks!

Great job. Used your video to help change the battery for our 2008 V70 key fob. The only issue is the contacts with the battery. There are two contact parts that depend on spring tension. You might have to bend them up to get good contact with the battery when you reassemble the fob. Many thanks!

Thank you for sharing where that little clip on the side goes back into! It popped out while changing the battery and I could not figure out where it should go back in.

Thank you for this video. I tried to use tweezers, but I didn't handle that :D Instead I used a small (very small) screwdriver (2.0mm wide and nearly as thin as your tweezers) from my 6pcs precision screwdriver set. For me that screwdriver was easier way. Of course that tiny metal tab falled down to the floor, but I found it. I had to watch the video again to find out what I had to search from the floor.

I actually found a simpler way to open the key fob - I pulled out the metal key part almost all the way and then bent it a bit to push the lid open from the inside. No tools required!

Thank you for this video,I have the 2009 PCC version for a S80.It is basically the same housing with 6 buttons.It takes two batteries and the metal piece on mine was not there.The Volvo manual does not really show you the best place to open the remote (as you show here ),so this was very helpful.

Thanks for the help mate, don't think I could have figured out how to replace battery without this help

Great. ....and thanks a lot. Greetings from Luxemburg

Hello. Thy for the Video. You saved my Day. I washed my Key and i had to open it to dry the Key

I REALLY should have watched this before I attempted to change my battery wherein I accidentally dropped kicked my key, had it open unceremoniously, had the spring thing fall out from a place I didn't understand and realized too late that my pa bought the wrong battery size, so had no choice but to shove everything back inside and decided to use the spare key instead. Your way seems much better though. Bravo

Excellent, and no plastic damage! Thanks

YES! While I was opening the key this little metal fucker (@1:45) went out and I haven't got a clue where it belongs. Thank you so much!

All the tools I needed were in my manicure kit.

Good to know , I have a V70 with the same type of key ... Thanks 👍

Without that spring the key is loose in the fob. jiggles a bit. Ask me how I know.

Very useful. A typical example of Swedish engineering, I am afraid.

TY, very helpfull video to me as well as many others !!

It has been a while since you posted this. But I think I know what the little spring on the side of the key fob case is for. It keeps the case together. When the dealership replaced my battery the case would not snap shut and keep shut. I had to tape it together. When I went to replace the batteries today I found that spring was missing.

Nice that helped with my v60 key batterey

Great demonstration...thnx!

I opened the KEY FOB from my XC60 2017, and there is two 2430 battery inside :)

One of my 09 s80 key fobs battery died and when I replaced it with 2 different kinds (because I thought one might be dead) the remote wouldn't work anymore. I made sure the battery polarity was correct. Do you know what the problem could be?

thank you this was a big help

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you

Realy helpful!!! Thank you very much.

i think that metal looking thing is for the key to keep in place. Thats where the metal key goes in anyways right

Thank you, very helpful video.

Why the gloves?

thank you, great accent. great english.

The metal clip provides friction to keep the key in place

Very helpful video. Now I’ve a question my battery seams to intermittently get stuck in the socket on the dashboard is there a solution for this? Dose not happen every time. When stuck wiggling it releases it but then the car won’t alarm? It’s a second hand car but I love driving it! Any tips would be appreciated thank you

Thank you, it helped a lot!

Здравствуйте. На 1:52 вы дотрагиваетесь до коннектора, у меня он отсутствует и машина не видит этот ключ( запасной), может быть, что проблема в отсутствии этого коннектора?

Thank you!

Thank you!!!

spot on cheers mate

is the piece on the side significant? it jumped out and i cant find it.

Thanks, Great help!!!

Thnx. Very useful.

very good. Thanks

Thanks, great help

does it need to be a specific 2430 battery? or it can be any brand? please i need to answer this!

Is this a rechargeable battery? That was my understanding, but I'm thinking that's nonsense and I need a new battery.

Thank you so much, very helpful, whoda thought?

Thanks for the tips. Can I wear latex gloves to replace the battery? :)

Thank you so much for this instructional video Sir. ✌🏼🫶🏼🖖🏼

Thanks men ferry useful

Do you need to re-program the key after change the battery? Thank you! ☺️

To replace my battery and the key housing with buttons to make it like new!

Thanks 😊 🇫🇷✌🏾

Thats is for KEY LESS auto.. i have it.. someone tell me that battery charged when ist in hole for key... its that right?... i drive always mit my keys in pocket...thank you...

Tks very helpful!!

Thanks, but what's with latex gloves?

My Volvo key has 2 battery inside. With a plastic inbetween. Does anyone else has the same setup?

is it necessary to wear the surgery gloves to remove it? :))

I had to buy a spare key from volvo for my 2004 v70 d5. It cost £378.76p

handy video thanks but why gloves :) not an operation in hospital :)

This is def not the best way to do it, just put a small screwdriver into the key hole, than push it against the back. Doing it like this won't scratch the plastic, and doesn't have risks of braking that clip.

mine key has 2 battery , why ?

Ok

Thank you.

😮😮😮😮😮

why you using the gloves,this is important?

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Why the heck do you have to wear gloves to do this??? lol

No, no, no, no, no....this is the hard and damaging way. Look for a better, easier video elsewhere.

this was super helpful. the instructions in the owners manual didn't have enough detail to show you how to remove the cover. thanks so much.

Thank you

Thanks, great help

Thank you!

Why the gloves?

Thank you!
