Common Holden Vehicle Locksmith Issues
Holden vehicles are known for their reliability, but like all vehicles, they can face common locksmith-related challenges. Here are some of the key issues we frequently handle for Holden models:
-
Lost Keys for Older Holden Models (1990-2006 HSV)
Unfortunately, we cannot program lost keys for Holden HSV models from 1990-2006. However, we can provide spare keys for all HSV models. For newer models, we offer comprehensive key programming solutions. -
Holden Commodores from 2006 Onwards
All Holden Commodores from 2006 onwards require two keys to be programmed. This is especially important for VE and VF models, where a spare key is mandatory. If a customer has only one key, we cannot reprogram it without making a spare. -
Proximity Key Limitations
For Holden VF, Cruze, and Colorado models, there’s a limit of two proximity keys. If a customer needs a third, we must reset the proximity key limit using lost key programming. Aftermarket keys for Cruze and VF Commodores do not support remote start features, so we recommend genuine keys for full functionality. -
Aftermarket Remote Key Restrictions
For older Holden Astras and Barinas, only genuine remote keys will work correctly. Unfortunately, aftermarket remote keys, including KEYDIY or XHorse keys, typically do not function properly with these models. -
Ignition Repairs for Older Holden Models
For Holden VL and older models, ignition repairs or lost key replacement requires removing the steering wheel. This is a more labor-intensive process but one that our experienced locksmiths handle regularly. -
Holden Remote Key Pricing
Our standard pricing for Holden remote head keys is $187, and a full spare key costs $220. This pricing includes the cutting and programming of the key to ensure it works flawlessly with your vehicle.
Job History and Expertise with Holden Vehicles
Our team has extensive experience working on a wide range of Holden models, addressing both common and complex locksmithing issues:
-
Commodore Key Programming: For all Holden Commodores from 2006 onwards, we program two keys as required by the vehicle’s system. We’ve handled countless cases where customers need spare keys, and our team ensures that every key is programmed accurately.
-
Proximity Key Resets: We regularly handle cases involving proximity key resets for VF, Cruze, and Colorado models, where the vehicle has reached the limit of two proximity keys. By using lost key programming, we can reset the limit and provide an additional spare key.
-
Genuine Key Use for Astras and Barinas: When working with older Holden Astras and Barinas, we always recommend using genuine remote keys to ensure full functionality. Our team understands the limitations of aftermarket keys and is committed to providing only the best solutions for these models.
