Holden VE Commodore key remote shell replacement pair
Made for the VE series five button remote style
This pack supplies two blank key remote shells for the Holden VE Commodore family — SS, SSV, SV6 and Berlina — built around the five button remote style those cars used. Years of pockets, keyrings and dashboard drops leave VE keys with split seams and worn button membranes long before the electronics fail, which is why a casing swap is the economical repair. VE sedans, utes and wagons remain among the most common cars on Australian roads, so these shells stay in constant demand. Your existing board and blade slide into the fresh housing, and because nothing electronic changes, the immobiliser and remote functions continue without any coding, locksmith appointment or dealer involvement whatsoever.
Straightforward transfer of your key internals
Open the tired shell, move the electronics and the cut blade across, and press the new case together — that is the whole job. The replacement is shaped to accept the original VE components directly, so parts seat without forcing or trimming. Give yourself a clear bench, keep track of the small pieces, and the swap is done inside ten minutes. Take a photo of the open key before you start if you want a reference for reassembly, and note that no glue or soldering is involved at any point. Drivers who want the variant with a panic button can compare the Holden VE Commodore key shell with panic button before deciding which housing matches their key.
One order, both keys sorted
Two shells mean the daily driver key and the glovebox spare both come out of retirement together. The Remote Factory's Holden range reaches well beyond the VE era: the Holden Commodore VF remote flip key shell serves the later five button flip style, while the Holden Commodore 2 button remote key shell covers the VS, VT, VX, VY and WH generations still common in Australian driveways. Whichever generation you drive, matching the button count and shape of your original is the essential compatibility check, and it takes seconds while preventing nearly every fitment mistake buyers make.

Frequently asked questions
Which Holden models does this VE key shell suit?
It is designed for the Holden VE Commodore range, including the SS, SSV, SV6 and Berlina variants that used the five button remote key style. The shell accepts the original VE electronics and key blade directly. If your Commodore is a VF with the flip key, or an older VS, VT, VX or VY, those generations use different shells that are listed separately on the store.
Do I need any programming after moving my electronics across?
None at all. A shell replacement keeps your original circuit board and transponder chip, so the car already recognises them — central locking and the immobiliser behave exactly as before. You are changing the plastic housing only. This is the key advantage of a shell swap over buying a complete new remote, which would require programming to the vehicle.
Is the key blade included, or do I use my old one?
You reuse your existing cut blade by transferring it from the old casing into the new shell along with the electronics. This is a blank shell product, so no cutting is needed and your doors and ignition work with the same blade as before. If your old blade is badly worn or snapped, a locksmith can cut a replacement to code before you fit it.
How long does delivery take and what if it does not fit?
Dispatch happens within 24 hours of your order, with standard delivery of one to five working days in Australia and two to eight working days to New Zealand. If the shell turns out to be the wrong profile for your key, the 30-day return policy applies — email contact@theremotefactory.com.au and the team will help with the return or a better-matched part.
