Hi all...

My Commodore keypad is rooted and the buttons no longer work.

I can get a used cheap one off eBay but not sure if a used one can be reprogrammed or not.

Does anyone know if a used one can be reprogrammed ? If not how much does our good friends at Holden charge for a new key and a programme???

Thanks in advance.

A key cannot be reprogrammed. I think a new one and programming is around $100 at Holden, give or take. New keyheads are available on ebay and some locksmiths can program them.

Its about $140 at Holden. Maybe $10 bucks cheaper if you go to the right dealer.

Yes it is definite. I have three old keyheads and they cannot be reprogrammed.
