Are Locksmiths Busy or Plain Lazy?

Thanks Rod! :thumbsup: Found one video which shows a VE transponder - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26nRsBLNHdU

Fortunately through a Facebook friend I found one of his FB friends (now mine too :)) who can cut and program VE keys. He lives down near where we lived until 2 years ago (about half an hour away) but by very fortunate coincidence is coming to a place 2 mins down the road from us this morning so will do it there. :goodjob: Plus he's given me an awesome price for cut and reprogram!! :woohoo:

Glad you found someone decent to do the job.
Same thing happened to our Cal V flip head about 6 months ago. While the wife was out shopping she inquired at a key cutting mob
& did the job on the spot with new flip case $90

All done. Only took 10 min max. Can't believe how much some places charge for it!

I do appreciate that some pretty expensive equipment is involved but even so.......

Interesting that American VE (G8) owners can do it themselves via the car's Customize menu! :shock:
