FAQ:
Q: When using Lonsdor K518ISE to program Volvo, it requires to send us KVM file to obtain new file so that I can program the key, what does it means?
A: Please follow the operation instruction to do, remove the KVM module to read data and transfer data, input the K518ISE folder to program.
Q: Somebody tested Volvo key programming? Interested fact is te calculation data has 'it's term of validty'. I mean if we calculate data from CEM Lonsdor accept calculated file but if we try it next day, then device say wrong file and we need to calculate one more time. I havent chance to test on real car yet, now just plyaing with CEM units. But I wonder how they calculate those datas and why they expire
A: If you use other key programmer to read out the data, then K518 need to transfer, and it will have 'it's term of validty'. If you directly use K518 + KPROG to read out and automatically save into K518, then it won't have the validty.
Q: Can Lonsdor program regular transponder key for VOLVO with regular ignition cylinder?
A: Yes.
