VX Commodore Equipe 2, 2002
I have a VX commodore and needed to change the battery. I purchased the car second hand and can't find the card that the security code was written on. HOlden want to charge me $40 for the code.

Does anyone know a way around this?

many thanks

Really holden want to charge you for this information ? it should be free, ring another Holden dealer, give them the vin and they should give it to you no questions, i have done it many times before.

Either take the radio out and see if it's on it or pm me your vin and I will try get it from Holden as they might give it too a trade customer for free

usually if its the original radio the code doesnt need to be re entered after taking out/disconnecting the battery, my vy didnt when i removed it then put it back in.

Both my VT & WH with the original radios require the security PIN after disconnecting the battery for extended periods. I think if it was a quick disconnect and reconnect it didn't ask for one.
