In reply to Eric. The problem with 2004 to 2006 GTOs the key fob has a battery that is welded to the electronics so to get the key off you have to break it

In reply to B. Good question. I dont think it matterrs if the doors are opened or closed to be honest. And the security light probably will not turn off until after the third time of the process and the key is programmed.

Father in law has the 05 gto, has purchased replacement original holden key, car horn beeped 3 times, but security light never stopped blinking after 3rd horn beep. What step did we skip?
Does it matter if doors and hood are open or closed?

In reply to Eric.

The “Holden” key fobs are identical to the Pontiac FOB’s. I have purchased both and both work. The only difference is the the logo on the FOB itself. The original Pontiac GTO FOB’s are discontinued while the Holden are FOB’s are still available.

Just replacing the battery in the FOB’s has never worked for me. Once you crack open the unit, it never seems to go together the same way. Your best bet is just to get the Holden key FOB and swap the cut key to the new FOB.

Hope this helps and thank you for vising the website.

Since the original Pontiac FOB was not serviceable from the typical user’s standpoint, I am wondering if these Holden versions are of the same construction? In other words, you couldn’t just pop open the original FOB and simply replace the battery. Are the Holden variants constructed the same way?

In reply to Mike boice. You can use your key from the old FOB you are replacing. No need to have a key cut. It is held in by just 2 crews. Inset your old key into the new FOB, and program the new FOB. Great question and thank you for visiting.

When I buy a new fob do I have to use the blank that came with it or can I use the key off the old fob that I’m replacing

This is a FYI that describes my Nightmare fob experience on my 2005.Hope this helps. Long story short..I tried SEVERAL Key fobs ( Let’s call them eBay etc..). Not one of them would chirp horn at all I then purchased a Real HOLDEN fob @aboit $100. It programmed the first try and working perfect.Spend the money y’all Save Headaches. PEACE

In reply to Daniel Munn. Absolutely. You can program 10 keys to the same vehicle if you desire. But only one key can be programmed at a time. And the key FOB being used must be brand new and has never been programmed to another vehicle. Only new key FOB's can be programmed to your vehicle. Hope this helps. Thank you for visiting my website and thank you for your question.
