This guide outlines the procedure for programming a new smart key for a 2024 Volvo S60 using the Lonsdor K518 PRO tool. The process involves both reading data directly from the Central Electronic Module (CEM) and performing key programming via the OBD-II port.

Tools Required:

Lonsdor K518 PRO OBD communication cable KPROG adapter LC202 cable A new smart key

Step-by-Step Procedure:

Part 1: Reading Data from the CEM Module

1. Disassemble and Access the CEM: Locate and carefully disassemble the Central Electronic Module (CEM) box from the vehicle. Follow the specific disassembly diagrams for your vehicle model.

2. Connect Hardware for Reading: Connect the LC202 cable to your K518 PRO and the KPROG adapter. Connect the 12-volt power cord to the K518 PRO. Connect the KPROG adapter to the appropriate points on the CEM board to read the data.

3. Read CEM Data: On the K518 PRO, navigate: [Immo & Remote] -> [Volvo] -> [S60] -> [2022-] -> [Program smart key] -> [Read CEM data]. Click [OK] to continue. You will be prompted to enter a name for the backup file. Enter a name and proceed. The tool will initialize the target chip and begin reading the data. Once you see a "Read successfully" message, click [OK]. Reinstall the CEM: The CEM data has now been successfully backed up. Reinstall the CEM box into the vehicle before proceeding to the key programming stage.

Part 2: Programming the Smart Key via OBD

1. Connect Tool via OBD: Plug the OBD communication cable into the vehicle's OBD-II port and connect it to the K518 PRO.

2. Start Key Programming Function: Navigate: [Immo & Remote] -> [Volvo] -> [S60] -> [2022-] -> [Program smart key] -> [All smart key lost]. Then, select the second menu option: [Load CEM data to obtain 10-bit security code].

3. Load the Backup Data: The tool will explain that this function requires the CEM data read via the KPROG adapter (supporting CEM main chip SPC5748G). You will be prompted to select the PFLASH or DFLASH data file. Select the backup file you created in Part 1.

4. Confirm Key Deletion: A warning message will appear stating that all registered keys will be deleted. Ensure you have all keys you wish to program ready. The tool will connect to the vehicle and delete all existing keys. You will see a confirmation: "The number of programmed keys is 0".

5. Program the New Key: You will be instructed to place the new smart key in the vehicle's induction area (typically the cup holder or center armrest). Click [OK] to begin programming. The tool will program the key. Once complete, you will see a message: "The number of programmed keys is 1". If you do not need to program another key, click [Cancel].

6. Completion: The programming process is now complete. The newly programmed smart key should successfully start the vehicle.
