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.
