My 2011 Volvo C70 has an embedded "emergency key" which is a little metal key you can pull out to get into the car. However, if the battery is dead in the fob/key which is inserted and turned like a key, the car won't start because the key can't "talk" to the car. Moronic.
If you lose both keys that come with the car it would require a tow to the dealer, and a very expensive reprogramming, and new keys issued. You're talking well over $1200. Good luck if the car is in your garage, and a tow truck can't get to it. Then the dealer would have to send technicians to your home to do the reprogramming IF they will actually do that.
