Indeed, as TB says, registration isn't the same as manufacture date, so just to be on the safe side look for the little black dome!

Finally got around to it. Yes, all works and now have a later all in one key arrangement. Lovely

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Great, well done Capt Chaos  so for all us PFL types who maybe want to convert to the all in one key - what did you actually change? 

[GmasterT]

Well because I'm a key losing idiot I have changed the stolen the key, barrel, immobiliser ring, engine ecu and alarm module thing from the kick panel.
But I have no doubt that if you just swap barrels to get the new key, swap chips from old key to new and kick panel module, then ignition 2, click lock and it will sync
Simples!

That rings a bell but you need a working chip and key blade first

Occasionally I have had to resynchronise a key to a car by putting key in ignition, turrning to position 2, and pressing either button, whereupon the indicators flash twice and the key works thereafter. So if I am really synchronising car to key, not vice versa, can I put an old good fob into the right blade and transponder and thus obtain a good key without TechII assistance?

Tried it Terry, sadly all you're doing there is getting the car to 'remember' that key is already coded to it. Literally like jogging its memory. I've got a fist full of PFL plips ready to be coded at some point, but the concept of changing to the all in one is a tempting one.

[terry paget]

What a shame! I too have plips of cars I have scrapped, PFL and FL. I hope the TechII man doing the recoding only needs to know the key code of the car  being recoded, not the key code of the car the plip came from.

[Diamond Black Geezer]

I hope not, otherwise the spares I've got are useless! I think it doesn't matter, and you're fine. The Boy will know 100% though

Omega RF remotes (ie, all of them except very early Omegas) use a rolling code, so every time you press a button, it sends a different code.

When the battery is removed (or shitty battery holder like yours I suspect are), or if the button is pressed too many times out of range of the car, the key gets out of sync of what the car is expecting, and you have to go through the resync procedure.


However, for a new key to be programmed to the car, that requires Tech2 or similar to get the car to learn the key.

Be seeing you in the new year, TB or Mark, for some fob programming
