A tale of two key fobs - Volvo C30 Forums and Community

Anyone with the novel C30 'disc' key fob needs to be aware that when the fob swings it will hit the side of the centre console and eventually mark or scratch it. The leather fob is a better option, IMHO.

Wow, thanks for the info! I was going to get one of those too, but not anymore :).

No fob on mine. I think the key is already quite big enough.

The leather fob looks pretty good, though.

I agree. It takes up enough real estate on its own. Besides, the unlabled key is a good conversation piece.

It's the standard trim from a V50 SE Lux.

Dealer gave me a complimentary "old man gold" Volvo fob with my set. I was rather anal at first and traded the cable with a shorter peice of bungie cord from work. Looks good and I stay away from the nick madness.
