    yea its printed on a lil card often in with ur owners manual. if u dont have this you need to go to any holden dealership and give proof of vehicle ownership and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), it may cost you to do so but surely not much.
    if its too loud your too old

    unless its printed somewhere, when i checked the audio section it says refer to a local dealer

    it is printed on a card not inside the book. if the ute is second hand the previous owner may still have the card as it is advised not to keep the card inside the car as it defeats the purpose of the code.

    exactly right, your just gonna have to call up holden, whenever my mum needed the code for her vt we had to call holden, after the 2nd time we thought to write it down :P, the old owners must have kept the card.

    I found my card in my owners manual, so if its not there, its likely the old owner kept it.

    Nah... i used to avoid taking my car to holden like the plague...

    In the time I had the VX i went to holden 4 times... once to get the radio code (free), again to get a little clip for the door under the headunit (couple bucks), needed the error codes cleared which cost 20 bucks and finally once to get a components diagram of a throttlebody.

    And yeah... went in there with the car... had the VIN already jotted down and they looked it up on the system and told me there and then, no charge.

    Good to hear you got it fro free too surfy31!

    It was Mornington Holden btw.
