    Does anyone know what it would cost to get a key and reprogram a central locking remote for a VX in VIC.
    All responses greatly apreciated.

    Does that include the remote or just programing?
    Thanks for your quick response.

    I'm looking at getting another one done for the XU6, thats key cut, remote head and head programmed. And I was told around $110 from Berwick Holden. I think it was $100 at Dandenong Holden.

    It would probably be a bit cheaper for you, seeing as though you don't have the 3 expensive letters in front of your car make. (HSV)

    But call around a few local Holden dealers. As the prices do vary from dealership to dealership.

    if youre coming down the peninsula way i can supply & program remotes for $70 each.
    if you have a remote i can program them for $20 each
    most dealers will charge about $20 to 25 each

    Yeah sometimes!!! Hehehehe!

    Well, I'd better give him a break considering he only got home at 4am and I woke him up at 7am when I went to work, and he didn't go back to bed...

    But just double checking, that price was for the 3 button keyhead right?

    Oh good. Because the one we have now is just lock and unlock. The third button is for the boot right?

    why has it only got two buttons? i thought it was an XU6?
    all sedans from the start of VT should have 3 button keys?

    because the key i got went flat a week after i got the car, & i got a key head for free but it was only 2 button, i got it programmed for free, so i wasnt complaining, can you suppply a HSV keyhead if you do it? Can you do it cheaper if we get 2 at once?
