New key?

[Fu Manchu]

Minster Minute are few and far between in Vic now.
Keeping in mind, "They Clone" them,
So if you have an issue with an existing Key Head, they clone the issue, so you can have the same problem.
Its best to get NEW ones, and program them in as a new Key Head,
From a reputable Locksmith.

If you haven't had a issue, your one of the lucky ones.

They don’t always clone them. I had mine done from the codes.

You’re right, cloning is not the greatest way to do things because faults or glitches are replicated.

Might you know if anyone still sells that type of battery?

Hi Gus.
Jaycar sell the batteries.
Also there is a locksmith up the road from them (mercer st.) Forget the name.

If you're too far away is holden the only place i can get it done?

I’ve used these guys before, Send them your key/bcm code (available from Holden if you don’t have them) and they send you back a fully programmed and cut genuine Holden key,

I think I paid $95, but now $120. Still a helluva lot cheaper than Holden would charge.

Kruising. Where are you locate? Are you able to help or would I be better off finding a locksmith? Would it be an inconvenience for you? Might you remember the ebay seller by chance? Do you know if the circuit board comes with the battery already installed? I once got some key batteries from ebay with the metal tabs on them where they just had to be lined up with the correct holes on the circuit board and with an iron they just fell right into place. Might you know if anyone still sells that type of battery? Thanks again, Gus.

I'm in Beaumaris, approx. 1.5 hours away,
You can open the casing up and de-solder the old battery with a solder sucker,
and change the Battery, then solder the new one in, [Battery are found at Jaycar, as mentioned earlier]
Then you have a problem of trying to re-assemble the casing/housing, as they never go back the same,
When you think of the time spent, and stress trying to re-assemble it, and if it is doesn't work,

Pay a bit more first, and forget about the hassles and be done with it,
Far cheaper to purchase a genuine one and its done and dusted, and wont need to worry about it for another 10+ years.

As good as my Cross8's former haunt. You may well have seen it drive past with it's Aus Mesh signage on the back.
