Aston Martin Volvo Era Fob to Glass ECU Fob Upgrade

The early ‘Volvo‑era’ remote fob has long been regarded as something of an embarrassment for Aston Martin—especially once owners discovered that peeling back the leatherette insert revealed a Volvo badge beneath.

For those seeking a more modern fob that better reflects the prestige of their Aston Martin, Phoenix Bespoke Keys can upgrade your Volvo‑era remote to the later Glass ECU‑style fob.

While this upgrade is extremely popular, earlier Aston Martin models still require a physical key to start the vehicle. This made it essential to develop a practical and elegant way for owners to carry both their upgraded fob and their ignition key. 

Phoenix Bespoke Keys solved this with our bespoke key‑ring attachment, allowing your Glass ECU‑style fob to be securely and stylishly carried alongside your key(s).

Naturally, this key‑ring solution is not intended for Glass ECU‑era Aston Martins, as those models use the dash‑slot system. However, for earlier vehicles that still rely on a traditional ignition key, it works perfectly.

And of course, Phoenix Bespoke Keys offers a wide range of further personalisation options. Configure your upgraded key here.
