my car is a 2003 SXi

i am away from home at the moment so unable to look it up in the handbook documentation

cheers

yep, thats what you need, just remember to swap the old battery for the new one in under 30 seconds or the key will need programming at VX again..so get the packet open before fiddling with the key and work quickly and try not to break the little white plastic tags on the battery mount

Cheers GSi 3.2, will get right on it when i get back home

I think- when you have changed the battery you then have to put it in the ignition,switch it on and press the open button twice to make it work.

Someone far more technical than me should confirm this just remember needing to do something when I changed my battery!!

thats for veccy b's......

if you stay under 30 seconds when changing the battery you'll be fine..

It also works for Veccy C's See this post for re-synchronisation procedure if you take longer than 3oish seconds to change the battery.
