Wasn't working when I collected the car, no led.
Fitted new battery, and lights up when buttons pressed, but does nothing when pressed with key in position 2 as per manual :-\
-
Any thoughts? :-\
-
from memory the drivers door has to be closed I think, have you tried open and closed?

Nope, still not working :'(

hmmm any sign of butchery of circuit?
Guess you dont even know if it has ever been programmed to the car, blade the same?

So I'd suggest never programmed to car ;)

Nothing obvious. Buttons on case were battered so new genuine case fitted. Only one key, so nothing to compare with, but works in all the barrels :y
That the LED lights up when either button pressed following new battery suggests that circuiry is intact...

What does this entail?
-
remove the vehicle battery for 5-10 min then try again, had this on a vectra.

*IF* its the right fob (check make on the back and/or on circuit board), then just a carpass and a chat with Tech2.
If its the wrong fob - surprisingly likely - they a new fob (£25 from dealer), carpass and chat with Tech2.

If I am going for the car pass, then I may as well get a new fob and second key whilst I am up ::)

If you go to the right company, you won't need the car pass. Drive in and out with everything working in 15 minutes. New key included.

Don't let them get the vaseline out re programming. Just pop up here and we'll dust off the Tech 2. :y

i was looking on a vx site and some one on there had the same problem, and some one said make a call on a mobile and press the button the fob should interfere with the sound on the call or make the screen flicker. as he found out it was the fob not working doing it this way, and took the fob apart and found a dry joint on the micro chip, his is working now. might work doing this i dont know.

The fob isn't on same frequency, and I very much doubt that a licence free band would be on a harmonic of the cellular bands.
Thus this sounds like that "a bloke down the pub said" 'dangle berries'.

Sounds similar to the one where if your locked yourself out but got a spare key at Home, phone home using your Mobile, get the other person at Home to operate the Fob near the Mic, hold your Phone against the door lock of the car and , hey presto, the car is now unlocked.
Doesn't work on Land Line phones as no Radio signals involved of course. ::)
The power of Radio Waves ;D not that I would know anything about that sort of thing.

Yep, all 100% BS. ;D
