    If your old key still works,you can go to places like mr minit and they can do them cheaper than what you have been quoted from holden.You can even buy new keys on ebay and just get holden to program them,that usually works out cheaper as well,Id be phoning around to a couple of different holden dealers about the price of programming to at least get a couple of different quotes before just accepting one price.Cheers

    Mr Minit does the head only programmed for about $90 - this presumes your old key (the metal bit) is OK, which they usually are.

    Yeah, mine cost $120 with a new blade. He said that "distributor prices were going up", and that's why they were so expensive.
