    i doubt it because there's the immobiliser which needs to be disabled before you can drive off..

    i'm assuming you need this for when you go swimming..

    hmm that begs the question, could you not silicone up the standard key to make it waterproof?

    Bryan i wanted the same thing last summer for when i went to the beach.
    I went to a locksmith, and a few other key joint's b4 holden and they told me it couldn't be done, As there is a chip in the key that triggers the immobiliser on / off. But then im like other cars have it available like toyota but they told me it only open's doors not starts the car.

    that's all i want it to do. lock and unlock doors.

    i wont use the immobiliser. just have the doors locked.

    then when i come back, i unlock the doors and use my normal key (which is hidden in the car) to start the car and drive off
