Re-Programming VT Commodore Key

[lufkin]

Sorry to bring up an old thread but i just went to MRMINT paid $80 bucks for new key head and key cut... he told me to use old key to open car, when inside car lock yourself in.. get the new key and start the car wait 20sec and the key will work...... well this did work but now my old key wont unlock or lock the doors.. i have to reinsert my old key for it to work...

How did does that work ???? any ideas ?????

sounds like its reprogramming every time i use it ????

how many keys have you got, the car can only remember the last 2 used, your old key isnt now being a third key by any chance if that makes sense?

i only have 2 keys.... the old one which i used and a spare one that was stuffed when i bought the car..... so i got the spare key fixed incase.... now the new spare key opens and locks doors but the original key that i have used for the past 3 months wont lock or unlock doors but it will start car and after starting car then it will lock and unlock and the new key i got cut wont work..

He has programmed the keys on the same key number they are interfering with each other. The key head needs to be replaced an reprogrammed on a different number. Commodores newer then 2002 you cant have more then 6 keys (will need to check number but pretty sure its 6).

Take it back to them an let them know whats going on, they should replace the head with a new one an reprogram it on a different number. If you have any dramas with it or they wont do it send me a pm an ill give them a ring..

hI gUYS!!
What happens when none of the above don't work?
I have tried both methods listed and none work. I have a fully working key and have had a new key blank cut with a brand new genuine Holden key module and nothing listed will work.
Hope some one can help.

I have successfully changed the battery in my old vt and also my wh statesman,
To do this
1. I wired 2x AAA batteries together to make 3.0 volts.
2. Opened the key head.
3. Wired the AAA Batteries in series with the soldered in battery.
(This avoids the circuit from losing power when removing the old Battery)
4. Unsoldered the old battery.
5. Soldered in a new cr2032 battery.
6. Remove the AAA batteries.
7. Superglue the shell back together.
8. Test it works.
Note: as my battery was not completely flat this worked fine and cost only about $3
The batteries in the remotes I did were not completely flat, but they wouldn't work on occasions to unlock the car or I had to be really close to the car for them to work, so you need to do this before the battery dies completely, as I have read that they can lose the program once completely flat.

I have no idea why I'm am writing with s such large text, using my phone atm and can't get the text size to change.

I have removed my battery on my original key twice. Even left it for a few days. No dramas.

Original key didn't work, battery completely dead as well.
