I got a security printout from Holden dealer, and I took that to a locksmith. I got a new key blade cut to code, simply because old one was worn out, a freshly cut key opened the door without jiggling the thing around.You can just buy a key from Holden that should fit your barrel providing its the original barrel and BCM. Its not cheap though by the time it's cut and programmed.
It requires having had the car registered in your name with rego papers that prove ownership. Holden will sell you the blank key unprogrammed. They then send the key cutting code and programming code to whatever the locksmith they have an affiliation with, they won't give you the codes, they will only be sent to the locksmith. Locksmith sorts the key and providing everything is original car should start providing no other issues like dead DFI.
I don't advise buying a key from anywhere but Holden as Holden won't provide codes unless you buy key from them.
That's interesting because the way I mentioned it above was the way I had to do it. I too had a worn key. It was too expensive so I decided to not bother. Maybe it's dependent on the dealership policy and not Holden policy as I was lead to believe.I got a security printout from Holden dealer, and I took that to a locksmith.

thats a good outcome. With the age of these vehicles sometimes the locks have already been changed so this wont work for those cars.I got a security printout from Holden dealer, and I took that to a locksmith.
