HSV Key Programming

[VYR8]

Hey guys I have a question regarding key programming for my VY Clubsport. Now the reason I'm asking the question is on the weekend I had lost my key out and have had no success in finding it as hasn't been handed in anywhere. I have had to go into Holden and key the key code & BCM key for my mate who's a locksmith to cut and link the key to the BCM (we haven't done this yet.) as I bought the car with one key and never thought of getting another cut..... now I've heard that HSV keys are different to program because they have ESS security or something? Will the way my mate is going to program it work? I've heard of some people having to go through a special "linking procedure" and others having no issues at all. Do I have to call up some Arrow company and basically go through the same identification procedure as I did with Holden? So my questions are 1: will it work making up and coding the key how my mate has described, 2: what are the linking procedures incase we have no luck and it is something I have to do
Thanks!

I just went to the local locksmith kiosk at the shopping centre and got a new one for just over $100 - programmed and everything.

Shoe Repairs, Key Cutting, Engraving & Watch Repairs across Australia | Mister MINIT <- nfi if they have them in your area but I'm sure there is something similar.

The way the locksmiths do it, is by duplicating the codes from the old key to the new key. If you have lost your only key, that's not going to work.

I'm not sure if the normal Tech2 way is the same for the HSV's

Yeah I heard there's another way and after looking into it there's a process I need to go through, if anyone knew it that'd be awesome if not, would calling up that company that makes the looms forgot their name it begins with 'A' be a way of doing it in the sense of would they be able to walk me through it

Key passcode will be on a sticker that is attached to the security module, straight under the dash.
