An increasing number of locksmiths use Lonsdor K518ISE / K518S to program Volvo V60 /V40 keys etc successfully as what Lonsdor advertised. Then how it works on Volvo keys?
The following paragraphs are available with the operation guide of Lonsdor K518ISE VOLVO V60 2011-2017 Keyless-go key programming.
Lonsdor K518ise Function:
1. Add key: please first make sure if the key is a new unused one;
2. All keys lost: please first make sure if the key is a new unused one;
3. Read CEM security data: dismantle & read CEM to backup security data (make sure to backup security data before programming);
4. Key identification and unlocking: to identify if the key is a new unused one. If the remote control is invalid after key programming ( on condition that battery has been installed and the remote control frequency is correct), try to import the CEM safety data to unlock key, and program again after unlocking successful.
Note:
（1）. When programming Volvo 6-button keys, please be sure to dismantle & read the CEM and KVM first, as to their location and how to read, please refer to bottom “Operation” or “Reference”.
（2）. First time to use the KPROG-2 Adapter, you need to bind it with K518. Go to the K518 home page and choose “Settings -> Bind adapter”, following the instruction to finish binding. One K518 host can bind up to 5 adapters, and the bound adapter cannot be bound to other K518 hosts. Once bound, no need to bind again.
（3）. For the 6-button key, you need to dismantle & read the CEM in the co-driver storage box, as well as the KVM in the right trunk to backup secure data.
4. Connection among K518 host, adapter and RN-01
5. Please read CEM secure data with RN-01 PCB.
6. Connection among K518 host, adapter and FS-01
7. Please read KVM secure data with FS-01 PCB.
Operation
Read CEM security data
Volvo’s CEM is basically located behind the storage box which is in front of the co-pilot seat
CEM boxes may have the same appearance, but the back of the circuit wire location is different, can be called type A and B .
How-to-use-Lonsdor-K518ISE-K518S-to-program-Volvo-V60-V40-keys-7
Type A: open the lid, pay attention to the black columns in the blue circle on the back of the circuit board, those are four positioning points, stably match them respectively with the white columns on RN-01 board.
Note: The circuit board is coated with insulating glue, it is required to use the washing plate water to wash it off the blue area of the insulation coating in the contact point (solder joint) , or power can not go through, if the needle of RN-01 board is 
broken, it will need to wire in the corresponding locations.
(First time to use the adapter, please bind it with K518ISE host, please refer to “Function”)
Type B: Its circuit is different from that of type B, it requires to wire to read immodata, please refer to below wire instruction:
Note: Connect power to read the data, it is required to separate RN-01 board to the motherboard to prevent conduction; welding line should not exceed 15cm.
Read KVM security data:
1. Volvo’s KVM modules are located in the rear of the car rear, right rear wheel position (16 S60L recommended from the right rear door to the wheel direction);
2. Open the module cover , you must first use the washing plate to clean the blue area of the insulation coating,
or power cannot go through, please bind it with K518ISE host, please refer to ”Function”)
Notice:
Part of Volvo KVM data may fail to read due to different chip type, please:
（1）. Dismantle module to read data with external programmer(.bin file)
（2）. Then connect K518 to computer, and save above dedicated data to [file –> feature_394] folder in K518 memory.
（3）. Continue to program key and you can select KVM data during the process.
Read KVM data with programmer:
Attention
1. When programming Volvo key, be sure to dismantle & read the CEM, as to CEM location and how to read, please refer to the “Operation” or “Reference”.
2. It is required to bind the adapter when using it for the first time, you need to bind it with K518ISE. Go to the device home page and choose “Settings -> Bind adapter”, following the direction to finish binding. One K518ISE host can bind up to 5 adapters, and the bound adapter can not be bound to other K518ISE hosts. Once bound, no need to bind again.
3. For 6 keys, during operation, you need to first insert the key into the key slot and then operate according to the directions.
4. For 5-button key, please follow the prompts to insert the key into card slot, if the key can’t be inhaled, please follow the prompts to click “Cancel”,
the system will prompt “Please pull out and in the key within 10 sec” , and then wait for the program to execute.
5. Check if the card is locked when it can’t be kept in the key slot, locked key can’t be kept, a new card generally will not be locked.
6. When install battery to Volvo models, please pay attention that the two batteries are overlapped, separated by a white paper in between, do not just replace the above one.
Disassemble is also very simple, remove the metal key, in the place where the key lies, please find a little knife with not too sharp blade, gently open it from the gap.
7. If the remote control can’t work after programming, that mainly because operational problems, click “OK”if yes,
if click “cancel” and continue to follow the prompt to operate, such operation may cause useless remote.
If this happens, please re-program (you can delete the already programmed key, as to the original car key and the key that has been programmed by the vehicle, once being deleted, can only be used to program this car).

Lonsdor Operation of Volvo V60 2011-2017 Keyless-go key programming:
Option 1 method of programming process:
Use K518 adaptor to dismantle and read CEM security data, which will be saved automatically in [file/feature_35] directory in K518 memory.
Use K518 adaptor to dismantle and read KVM security data(288bytes), which will be saved automatically in [file/feature_35] directory in K518 memory.
When perform [add/delete smart key] function, select CEM security data first and KVM data, then enter [program smart key] process.
Option 2 method of programming process:
Use K518 adaptor to dismantle and read CEM security data, which will be saved automatically in [file/feature_35] directory in K518 memory.
Use external programmer to dismantle and read KVM security data(4k).
Copy the EEPROM data(read with programmer)to [file/feature_35] directory in K518 memory.
When perform [add/delete smart key] function, select CEM security data first and KVM data, then enter [program smart key] process.
Module identification
Before all operation, please connect car OBD to “Module identification”, which can detect the module (CEM/KVM) status, distinguish if the car is keyless-go(full smart key) or smart key.
Test status results:
(1) Installed. (Indicating that the corresponding module status is normal)
(2) Not installed or communication failure. (That indicates the car does not have the corresponding module, or the module status is abnormal.
When the security data is backed up completely, install back all the modules accordingly. Please do “Module identification” again, check to ensure that the module is well installed and in normal status. And then do programming operation.
