Keyless Entry - Turning Off
 

I have owned many Volvos, but my V90 was the first with keyless entry (October 2019 model). This was stolen a few weeks ago by thieves using some kind of cloning device I imagine, despite keys being in a Faraday pouch and away from the front of the house.

I really like Volvos, and plan to get another one (new), but wanted to know if the V60 or V90 had the option to disable keyless entry.

Thanks.

Sorry you were the victim of this! Not sure if you can deactivate it but the new ones come with a redesigned key fob that deactivates if it isn’t moving (ie if it’s left on a table or in a drawer).

Assuming the faraday pouch was working correctly, the new fob design wouldn't have helped in this instance. Shame, I didn't think V90's were that desirable to car thieves...

Mine doesn't have keyless entry, is it compulsory now?

Those faraday pouches wear out in 4-6 months.

You need to take the pouch out with you and try opening the car with the key still in the pouch. And indeed they expire in 4-6 months I’m afraid. The faraday boxes last a lot longer.

Very sorry to hear about your car.
