The "60-Second" Vulnerability in Your VF
The VF Commodore is an Australian icon and an appreciating asset. Unfortunately, this popularity has made it a prime target for thieves.
If you own a Holden VF Commodore or HSV Gen-F, your vehicle has a known security flaw that allows thieves to drive it away in under one minute—even if you have the keys in your pocket.
- 1. Entry: The thief disables the horn through the inner guard, then forces the door handle to enter the cabin silently.
- 2. Connection: They plug a generic "Key Programmer" device into your OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) port. This is the plug located under your steering wheel.
- 3. Cloning: The device communicates with your Body Control Module (BCM) and forces it to accept a new key.
- Theft: In less than 60 seconds, the car believes the thief’s key is the original. The alarm stops, the immobiliser disarms, and the engine starts.
The Solution: BCM Locking
You cannot stop a thief from breaking a window or handle, but you can stop them from starting the engine.
LockMyVF provides a specialized software solution that “locks” the Body Control Module. We modify the BCM’s coding to strictly block unauthorized communication.
When a thief plugs into a LockMyVF secured car:
Key Programming: BLOCKED- Immobiliser Reset: BLOCKED
- Engine Start: DENIED
The thief is left with a broken door and a car that won’t start. They have no choice but to run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this affect my mechanic or dyno tuning? No. This is the most common question we get. Your mechanic can still plug in their diagnostic tools to read engine codes, clear faults, and service the vehicle. We only block the specific security commands used to program new keys.
Is the process reversible? Yes. If you lose all your keys, we can unlock the BCM for you. We verify your ownership, unlock the system, program new keys, and then re-lock it to keep you secure.
Does this void my insurance? No, in fact, many owners find it gives them peace of mind knowing they have taken proactive steps to secure their asset.
