battery is probably going flat. Unfortunately the keyheads dont open up easily.. I know there's a few locksmiths around the place that will do ti for you though.

the only problem with that is the locksmiths use a 'cloner' which means if you have problem with the remote itself and not the battery, the dodgy code will be cloned to the new key head, thus you will have spent $60+ on a remote that dosnt work and isnt refundable,

holden usually do them for 100-110 supplied and coded, thats the way id recommend doing it

last time i needed a new keyhead i bought a new one off a wrecker for $15 and got it programmed at holden for $40.

VT (and I presume up to VZ?) key fobs come "blank" and can actually be programmed by the vehicle, you just need the actual shaft to be cut to turn the barrel.
