My brain is hurting I was just sitting here thinking about my mate with no running commi cos he lost his keys and had his alarm activated when he did and his new key only unlocks the doors wont turn the alarm off.And our local holden shop dont have tech 2 so I was checking out efilive v4 loaded the gmhvs6 datastream.Then I went to edit vehicle datastream and found a macro titled ($0D) security access mode so I was reading earlier that a locksmith with the tech 2 pluged it in went to some setting on the tech 2 then pushed the remote buttons and it was done maybe you can do it with this security access mode there was also a macro titled modify memory and download and execute.What do you think doctor bob.It was bugging me so much I had to get back out of bed and post it or I wasnt gonna sleep if only it works ive got no max232 interface and my evaluation is about to end probably b4 I get one to try .My mate will be stoked if he gets the trusty old commi going again without having to trailer it a couple of hundred km's to the dealer hes thinking of forking out hundreds for a tech2 just to get it going.
also found this site with a tech2 laptop interface and software for $149 AUD

Is this the same as the handheld tech2 just using a laptop instead or just maybe a max232 circuit in a flash box with someone elses software not holdens actual tech 2 software sounds to cheap to me to be the proper tech2 software since that price is far less than a handheld tech2.
Sorry if my post is hard to understand i have maxed out my brains on board and virtual memory time to reboot back to bed.
fingers crossed.:thumbsup:
but thats only because I know someone, maybe it would be a good idea to get the plastic part and/or key part and take it too a good mechanic as someone said and get it done a lot cheaper than holden
