What You Need To Know About Replacement Keys for Holden Captiva, Commodore, Cruze, Etc.

Here are some important things to know about your Holden keys when getting a replacement or spare key cut and programmed.

The first Holden cars to include a factory-fitted immobiliser were introduced in 1992. With it came remote keys with a battery-powered transponder circuit in the remote head. Instead of using carbon or glass transponder chips that did not need batteries to work, Holden’s transponder chips required battery power to send the security code to the vehicle. Once the battery has died, the entire remote will stop working and the immobiliser will block the ignition system from starting the car. To add to the problem, the batteries are permanently soldered in place. The models with this system are older models like the Commodore VR, VS, VT, VX, VY and VZ.

Holden has changed its design for newer models like the VE, Captiva, Astra and Barina. The new cars now include modern car keys with transponder chips that do not require a battery to work. Meaning you will be able to start the car with your keys even if your remote has run out of battery.

This will explain why the solutions for certain car key problems are limited. If you have an older car like a Commodore VR and the problem is a flat battery, the most convenient solution is to replace the entire key.
