Tech 2 and key fobs ......
« on: 18 December 2011, 23:58:11 »

Can any key fob and transponder be linked to any car, with the right documentation of course?

As long as right programming equipment, and the stuff is electrically compatible. Most (not all) seperate GM transponders are the same, but the fobs do vary quite a lot.

Cheers TB. A new remote is around £35 plus vat from stealers, and then obviously setting up fees (half an hour at about £30?). I only have one key and in the pursuit of another after Christmas, was just wondering if a second hand one could be considered?
I would hope to use OOF tech 2 of course  :y

We have no Tech2's in Northern Ireland...

2nd hand is fine, get a blabk horseshoe blade with transponder from egay (tenner), a 2nd hand fob (Vauxhall Omega 2 button ones for Alarmed cars are always megamos), then program (carpass needed). Our dealers seem to want £80 to program :o

Thanks for that, I was hoping that's what you'd say!
I'm hoping to come across in the new year for a little bit of work and am hoping to make arrangements for tech 2 while I'm over, as am also considering gearbox and climate updates at the same time.
