VE Flip Key

[ryzlee]

Hi all,

I'm a little confused... I'm wanting to change over to a flip key for my SV6 Series 2, I've read a few threads, but it's just confused me heaps.

So basically, I have an old crappy spare key that the buttons are all worn out on, and I was going to use this key as the base to upgrade, and just switch the buttons over.

So the remote is already programmed to unlock/lock the car with the buttons.

I was looking at buying this off ebay: Flip OUT KEY Head Genuine Holden Commodore VE WM Omega SSV SS Calais 2006 2013 | eBay

I know that I can get the key cut at locksmith etc, but is there anything else that's required with the actual metal key part itself, and if so how I go about it?

I don't really feel like paying 300+ to get this done through Holden.


Your help is appreciated.

Thanks.

holden need to code the key too, most key cutting places can't do it.

so you'd be able to use the current remote, get new buttons, get the flip top and get it cut, but holden will need to program it still

A few locksmith places do all the coding key stuff now. Search out nearest and get them to cut and code for 1/3 of Holden price.

I had to get my new flip key programed at Holden. They had to redo my existing keys at the same time.

I spent a month or so trying to get it sorted out with locksmiths etc, but for the VE I couldn't find anyone who could do the programing.

Read through that link, you can program the key yourself. I also read that it wasn't possible however following the instructions in that thread worked.

Mate it's possible, I did mine last week.....

You can program the key yourself, it should only cost you around $25 to cut the key use your current transponder(remote) program the key as it's stated in my thread. I did it last week on my car and my brothers ve SS . With NO problem at all.

I've got the flip key now and also got the key cut.

Now, trying to program the key myself is a different story...

So, currently I have 2 existing keys for my vechile, I tried to do the whole, turn the existing key to accessories, and leave in for 10 seconds, remove key, put in new flip key and turn to accessories, wait for all accessories to load, then take the newly cut key out, insert back into the vechile, and turn the vechile on.

When I did this, I only completed this with 1 out of the 2 existing keys I already have, when I put the flip key in, it says: Engine Immobilised, Refer to User Manual.
The car does turn on with the new flip key, but that message stays on.

Do I need to do the first step with the 2 existing keys I already have? And then put the new flip key in, or can it be done with just 1 of them?

Also - is there a certain amount of times that Engine Immobilised message can come on? Like, will it fully shut down the ability to turn my car on?

Your replies are appreciated


Thanks.

I just done this last night win my ute and it worked no worries (with both keys).
You only turn the key to ACC, that is to say, only the radio turns on. Not the dash and stuff. I kept turning it not the on position and had the same problems that your having

Oh and you have to put through the 2 original keys before the new cut key
