    Yeah, ive done that before though the numbers are small compared to the ones you can get unlocked, also mines a S1, so not sure if thats why, though yeah does anyone know, how much it cost or whats its actually called, so if i go into holden i sort of know what im talking about lol ?? (name of program to be unlocked etc)

    u don't loose your ova speed as far as i know, mine still has it, i never use it though, mines a srz1 vy (december 02 build date)
    see what they quote you and if its higher than $40 or $50 ask politely if they'll do it for a slab,(what are the chances of doing it for a slab....) then just buy a slab of vb or what ever the ussual cheap beer in ur state everyone drinks is, only cost you about $30 then and they"ll be happy

    To start with I missed it a bit, but you soon get used to it not being there.

    They did mine for nothing. Rightfully so as it took them all of 10 seconds.

    Take it to where you get it serviced that way you can argue the fact that you're sending it there to get serviced so don't try and rip cash from you for such a small thing that costs them literally nothing.

    If no luck go down the road to the next service centre.
