    Replacement Buttons VE Flip Key

    For those that are interested, I had the buttons in my VE flip key replaced this morning for $25. After asking a couple of Mr Minit franchises and being told no can do, I asked a small business in Greenacres shopping centre on the off chance he might be able to do it. He had the OEM Holden buttons and replaced it in 15 minutes. Bargain. The buttons in the flip key are exactly the same as the buttons in the normal VE Key. If anyone want his details PM me, as I don't think I am allowed to put his details up on here?

    Edit: The buttons actually click when pressed now, have never done that since I have owned the car.

    I don't remember the part numbers for these, but they were only around the $6 mark from Holden

    I went through this procedure a while back, replaced the buttons & the flip section as the spring broke. Pretty sure I paid around $19 parts only & less than ten mins to do the job myself.
    Here's a good link on youtube for DIY

    I got my replacement buttons from eBay from a Holden dealer, from memory about $5 delivered. Even with my disabilities it was a 2 min job to replace once I'd watched one of those videos.

    $2.50 is what Holden was going to charge me. I didn't even ask, when I handed over the keys for service she noticed the buttons and asked if I wanted them replaced, she said $2.50 when I asked how much. Picked up the car, checked out new keypads, paid bill and looked at the items and no buttons listed - FREEEeee, maybe she liked me.
