Holden VY Commodore Car Repair: Chapter 4 - Key Programming with the KF200

Nix McRetro // 13th February 2021 // Repairs, YouTube

These car keys have a battery in the key head, and batteries do not last forever. This one was well overdue for replacement. Enter the KF200. I like to think of it as the King Flasher 200. It was kind enough to let me program a new key head. I think the key head was AU$47.30! Isn’t technology great? Picked it up from Autobarn somewhere north of Sydney a few years back. Here’s the video that documents that journey!
