Keyless Entry

[FullySick]

My remote key has begun to fail when trying to open or lock my central locking.

I recently replaced the car battery, but, it was happening before this also.

Is there a battery in the key?

[vlv8vic]

yes.

How do I get it out???

[vlv8vic]

can't help with that. something must unscrew or slide but i don't know what a VS key looks like.

[Vee-ard]

its not something you can open and then put back together easily.


foot the bill for two new ones from Mr.Minit for $100

It can be split with care and then get a battery from Jaycar (has tags attached). Otherwise Mt Minit does the head alone for $80 or the whole key for $100 - sometimes they are on special as well. Usually the press buttons fail first.

batteries soldered in and I found it hard to desolder and get out,in fact I ended up at Mr Minit for a new one

Probably not no. I would wager money on the central locking actuator being on its last legs.

Im getting a new key made for my VR to give my GF (I feel a tremor in the force LOL), my key is a standard single button key, to get a duplicate its gonna cost me $121.

Its the central locking actuator in your drivers door, its a 5 pin 1 which is much less comon to the 3-pin one found in the rest of your doors, so not just any actuator will work. You need to pull one out of the drivers door of another VR-VZ commodore. I dont know how the VN-VP central locking system works, so I dont know if you coulduse one of those

yea the keys are weather sealed. some of the older keys can be pulled apart such as the early VR keys and we also sell cases (im a locksmith) for the three button commodore keys for the VT-VZ so they can come apart with a bit of prising, however i havent done one so i wouldnt know how easy or hard it is.

batteries generally have a lifetime of about 15 years.. but yea i know the keys do seem expensive but just be glad you dont have to buy a genuine toyota key..
