Afternoon all.
Newbie to the forum.
Had a broken ignition cylinder, couldn't start the car, key would not turn. Phoned my local Holden dealer that have serviced the car since new(have had it since new). They said to get the car to them, they wouldn't come out. NRMA hotwired the car to get it to the dealership.
Dealer had the car for two days, put in new cylinder, but could not get the key to start the car without using the black fob, to immobilise the immobiliser (it has the HSV one in the glovebox.).
They were tasked with finding a solution!
A week went by and they called me back in with the red fob also, to see if they could reporgram the BCM for a new fob. They had the car for the day, but no go.
Anyone have any ideas. Holden are hopeless, they say its old technology, I should get a new car. It only has 290K on the car and does not have any other problems.
Is the place that fitted these HSV immobilisers in Melb still in existence, I am heading down to Melb in a weeks time. Maybe I could take it to them, if they still exist.
