Holden Captiva 7 remote key shell for CG7 Series 1
What you get with this Captiva 7 replacement case
This aftermarket shell is made for the Holden Captiva 7 CG7 Series 1, covering vehicles built from October 2014 onwards. The kit contains an uncut B106 key blade, a fresh set of rubber buttons and the remote case itself, which is everything you need to rebuild a key whose plastic housing has cracked, split or worn smooth. The internal electronics are not supplied, so your existing circuit board and transponder chip must be in working order before you buy. Because it is an aftermarket item, the case ships without factory logos, but the button layout and blade profile follow the original design so the finished key sits in the ignition and on your keyring exactly as before. Price-wise, at $24.95 it is a modest outlay next to a dealership key replacement.
How the shell swap works on a Captiva key
Rebuilding the key is a straightforward bench job. Open your damaged housing, lift out the circuit board and transponder chip, then seat them in the new case along with the fresh button pad. The B106 blade arrives uncut, so take the assembled key to a locksmith who can copy the cut pattern from your current blade. No reprogramming is normally required because the vehicle keeps recognising your original electronics; you are only changing the plastic around them. If you drive a different Holden, we also stock a Holden Commodore remote key shell with panic button for VE owners.
Checking your existing key before ordering
Before adding the case to your cart, compare it against the key in your pocket. Confirm your Captiva is a CG7 Series 1 from October 2014 or later, and check that the blade shape and button arrangement match the product photos, since earlier Captiva keys use a different housing. Buyers restoring other Holdens can look at the Holden Commodore 2 button key shell for VS VT VX VY WH models, or the Holden Commodore VF 5 button flip key shell if a flip-style enclosure is what the job calls for. A quick comparison against the photos takes a minute and avoids a return, because the CG7 housing differs visibly from the shells used on earlier Captiva ranges.

Frequently asked questions
Does this shell include the remote electronics or transponder chip?
No. The kit supplies the outer case, a set of rubber buttons and an uncut B106 key blade only. The internal circuit board and transponder chip are not included, so you need to transfer the electronics from your existing key. It suits situations where the housing is damaged but the remote still functions correctly.
Which Holden Captiva models does this case fit?
It is designed for the Holden Captiva 7 CG7 Series 1, built from October 2014 onwards. Earlier Captiva keys use a different housing, so check your build date and compare the blade shape and button layout against the listing photos before ordering. If your key matches the pictured profile, the swap should be straightforward.
Will I need to reprogram the key after moving my electronics across?
In most cases, no. Because you are reusing your original circuit board and transponder chip, the vehicle continues to recognise them and no new programming is required. The only professional step is having the uncut B106 blade cut to match your current key, which any automotive locksmith can do while you wait.
