So it needs a whole new head?
Would it need to be re code? how much would it cost?

Yes if its a flat battery would need to replace the keyhead, Mister mint do them for $99 for just the head.
If you have another working key, you just just pop the solder points then replace the battery, but you have to be very quick, like less then 10 seconds to swap it over. i did this after i got a new keyhead, had to use a bit of paper against the pins to push on the battery, then glued back together. works fine just a backup key now

110$ at mr minit will get you a full brand new key ready to go,, or 105$ for just the head programmed ready to go,,,

- 2 shells and take them to holden to get programed?

would be looking at possibly spending twice that to program em,, Holden up here it is 60 bucks per key.. (that is in no way an exact quote)

okay cool! ill be visiting holden shiortly

btw that is is just roughly the price for programming your still up for the cost of the key head

anywhere from $75-$100 here for a completely new key inc. cut blade
it's pointless soldering the battery if it loses all the programming
my old key had worn buttons and the shell was in bad shape
i was able to get a new case and to reshell it and save the key

i just got a key cut with head for $100 at a key shop in a plaza.. i also asked them how much just to recode a head and they quoted me $80 just for the coding.. so i just done it all with them.. it worked out to be more money buying a key head of ebay and getting them to code it
Stupid i say but oh well i guess that life... nothing is easy haha
yeah don't bother with ebay blank heads
by the time it's sent and you get the blade cut it's about the same cost to do it all in one shot from the one guy!
good quality locksmith will supply and code new remote head for around $100 and you then have about 5 years with no worries

i found ebay the cheaper way 2 go, got a blank key and head 4 $50 then took it 2 a lock smith that cut and programmed the key 4 $22. so look around i wouldnt go 2 holden they will more then likely charge u 4 it.
