ok people, ive searched around and heard many different stories about getting keys copied for VT or later HSV's.
I've got a VT XU8 & XU6 that I need to get new keys made up for, the only problem is - i dont have the red tags that apparently come from the factory.
-note that the XU8 has a factory approved after market alarm (zenon) and the XU6 is just bog standard.
some people say the only fix, is to replace the whole iss system - getting new tags n keys in the process
I was under the impression, that just cloning the master key, would at least transfer the code to the new key allowing the car to start, and the old key would only be useful for accessing the car and if I used the original key in the ignition it would cancel out the clone.
so... im left wondering - has anyone managed to get new working keys made from a master? (and if so - how'd you get it done)... i have the singular black tag, just not the red one.
Im hoping as a fall back / last resort I can call hsv with the car info and have them resupply the red tag so i can get a new key - anyone know if this is possible?
