Yesterday tried on Volvo s60 AKL there is option by OBD but must wait few hours like on other tools.

the menu on V40 is different than S60 so maybe not all models are supported by OBD?

V40 is unique in that it allows near instant password reading, all other models require hours(1-6 for slot, 12-16 for keyless) for the brute force attack.

If you want a fast solution pull CEM and/or KVM if equipped and read both for the password(s). Personally I offer the customer two solutions, keys right now at a higher cost, or I put the dongle in the car and come back tomorrow at a lower cost.

 I always do it on bench its 45 minutes job.
