New Key!

[BG54COL]

I have a 54 plate VXR Monaro. Owned since new. Recently my key stopped working, so I swapped onto the spare and called Petagon Vauxhall in Derby to arrange for a new key and pairing to the car. When there, the fitter told me that he needed a 6 digit number to pair the key to the car. The number on the security card has only 4 digits. Calling Vauxhall got them no further forward. Three hours of hanging about and still only got one functioning key. They are going to call someone on Monday morning and give me a call when they have a fix. I was wondering if anybody here has had similar difficulties and how was it resolved.

The key security number is 6 digits. It cannot be 4. That will be another number.

Without the 6 digit number it isn't going to get reprogrammed.

the 4 digits will prob be radio lock

However when I bought my monaro from Vauxhall it was missing teh security card, was never supplied to original owner (who lived few streets away). I spoke to vaux dealer about this they say if you dont have it, they call call VX and get the correct info from your VIN number.

My security code has 5 digits, they just entered a '0' plus the code. The key was programmed and everything works OK, but any personnal settings are put back to the factory defaults.

Success at last. Pentagon has programmed my key. They got a list of all the numbers pertaining to my car,(and there is alot of them) from the manufacturer. The security number supplied to me by Vauxhall was 4 digits long. The number that was eventually supplied was those 4 digits with 01 in front.

This is the worry i have with not having this security info card in the VXR8, How would we get the details to have another key made??
OP glad you got it sorted

Vauxhall can beat the info out of the system.....eventually. I`ve had my car since 04 and they still had my details on record.

If you order one now, you'll have plenty of time to sort it.
