Common Locksmith Issues with the Holden Commodore VT – VXII
The Holden Commodore VT-VXII models, like many cars from this era, can encounter several key and ignition-related issues. Some of the most common problems include:
-
Ignition Barrel Replacement
For the VT-VXII models, ignition barrels tend to wear out over time. Given that the VR-VZ series Commodores use sealed ignition units, the entire head needs to be replaced, and we always recommend a complete replacement for $165 in our workshop. Replacing the ignition ensures that the key code matches the original setup, preventing future issues. -
Lost Keys and Key Programming
Lost keys are another common issue for Holden Commodore owners. We handle key programming with tools like Smart Pro, T300, and XTool, ensuring both genuine and aftermarket remote heads are programmed correctly. It’s essential to ask whether the barrel has ever been replaced since this affects key programming. -
Deadlock and Door Lock Issues
Some Holden Commodore VT-VXII models come equipped with a deadlock feature. When all keys are lost, it can be difficult to regain access without specialized tools. We often need to pick the locks, especially if the vehicle’s Body Control Module (BCM) isn’t original, making the job more complex.
