I’ve just bought my first Volvo (XC40 T5 ‘68 plate) and I have a question.

I have the two main key fobs and they work fine. I have also found the small KEY TAG (or sports key) that appears to be unused in the original box in the centre console.

The tag key does not appear to work. I’ve left it in the car and unlocked using the main key fob but it really appears to be dead when I try it on its own to unlock or lock the car. Would the battery be drained (new in Nov 2018)?

I’ve read the battery cannot be replaced. I’ve seen new ones offered on eBay for £24 but surely they would need to be coded to my vehicle?

I’ve heard a new one from my Volvo dealer could be £120.

Any advice for a new owner appreciated. Thanks.
