    Can get it cut yourself, Holden or someone with the appropriate resources needs to program the key to the car.

    Just go to your locksmith and ask, i think it might cost a bit more than a house key.

    Id ring around and get the best quote rather than going to each locksmith.

    A new 'flip key' from a Holden Dealer will cost you around $360 - $400. They are not cheap, a Dealer will ensure it is coded with your car, a locksmith may not, they may give you instructions on how to use the key for the first time. Keep that in mind
    Some people lie so much they begin to believe there own bullshit.

    Cost me $155 at my local Holden dealer to get the keys coded to the car. You'll need both recoded at the same time or they won't work, (new codes to the keys when coding them) And $20 at the locksmith to get it cut.
